My daughter had her first appointment with a new therapist yesterday. After only 30 minutes it was evident this was not a love match. She's decided now that she'd be more comfortable with a male therapist because she doesn't trust women. Gah! Back to the drawing board ... and the PPO list.
At least her meds all still seem to be working. Her moods are a lot more level than what they were 5 months ago.

I am feeling so sad right now. I just found out that my daughter has cut again.
We have been doing so well. She hadn't cut since Christmas. She was behind at school and was under pressure for an assignment which I should have asked for an extension for, and it was just too much stress for her.
I am so upset, I thought that we were doing so well and now we are back to square one. She was already afraid to show her bare arms and now she won't be able to for a long time.
Do the scars ever go away?
I made an appointment to see her social worker who we haven't seen for a couple of months. She doesn't want to go, but I have told her we have to. I need to talk this out with her to try and understand.
The school is going to see what they can do about salvaging the 3 credits that are in jeopardy of being lost so that she doesn't lose her year. She will have to work and do any missing assignments, but at her pace.
I just want this to all be over. I feel like I failed her by not asking the teacher for more time, knowing that it was going to put her under extreme pressure.
Errr...next time I will know.

I am so sorry. The relapses are hard - for everybody. But the good part is that you can recognize it now & she will, too, eventually. My daughter has had relapse, but the cutting didn't give her what it used to. We all recognize that as a good thing. There's no easy cure. The scars won't go away. But they will heal. So will she. So will you.
*more hugs*
