Thanks for your kind words Alice.
To be honest I'm quite concerned about how my 16yr daughter will cope with trying to fit in at the new school given she is severely scarred from years of chronic cutting (arms, legs, torso). & while she's made a lot of progress over the last 8mths, the reality of the move next week hit a raw nerve during her psychologist appointment today resulting in her raging & smashing a door window at the clinic.
I'm doing all I can to organise ongoing support for her for the move but must admit I've come to point where having tried everything mental health experts have suggested, I've realized at the end of the day, using self harm as a coping mechanism for her Anxiety/ depression is her choice. Also that having been diagnosed with Breast Cancer for the second time in 13mths, I need to start putting my own health & well being 1st.
Really appreciate the hugs & energy xxx
