Advice please

I have a similar situation with one of my daughters, although she doesn't live nearby. It is very sad, but I have tried to make a decision that this is not going to take over my whole life, nor that of the rest of the family. I accept that it makes me and her sisters both sad and at times, angry and resentful.
I try to sort of lock it away, as I feel I owe it to her sisters and their children not to let it dominate our lives.
This may sound a bit harsh, but we do what we can to survive, don't we.
When people ask how she is I tend to say "oh not too bad at the moment" "Or "not too bad when I last heard", but my stomache sinks every time, so I know how you feel about that.
These mental health issues are an illness as much as a physical illness, and of course it makes us sad when it happens to our children.
My best wishes to you.

Been exactly where your daughter is. Depression and Anxiety changes everything about you.
Don't pressure her, don't say things like 'people have it worse than you' and my personal favourite 'just snap out of it'
You havn't got to understand it just respect that she is going through something awful.

Pooger I can only add to what others have said time is her main need, let her do it her way it is dreadfully hard for those watching and it's so tempting to try and 'mend' our kids Keep helping her through the grandchild and just be there for whatever she is able, she sounds like she is doing all the right things to heal herself, she may be afraid of groups ( family meal and holiday) because people may ask her questions about how she is etc
Good luck just be patient and content she is working, she has a good marriage, a baby and doing everything right to try to heal herself

Give her time, it's important she takes her recovery at her pace, I know from experience how difficult it is for you but just be as usual with her . Some medication can cause a person to withdraw too. X

Hi pooger it sounds as if your daughter is doing all She can to get well, on her terms.

I don't have advice about your daughter but all I would say when asked about her by family or friends is "She is struggling a bit at the moment, but working hard on getting better" or something similar.

for you.
