by offering her Valerian and Passionflower drops, a good multi-vitamin and extra magnesium/calcium, fish oils,.... adjusting her diet to avoid sugar, additives, bad fats, etc., as well as having her have sessions with a breathing therapist (a psychiatric nurse trained in this) who taught her all-important breathing techniques to calm down and feel centered/grounded. I can highly recommend attention on breathing for lots of feelings of discomfort and anxiety.
She made it through these years without having to resort to medications, which I also wanted to avoid as the first course of action for her instability and anxieties.
I was also very frightened that she was developing my mental health problems, while my husband reminded me not to identify too much with her, that she was not "me"....her own person....even with our shared genetic propensities....know what I mean here?
I personally didn't react well to Bach remedies, but had excellent support with Homeopathic treatment from a doctor - NOT a remedy from a store shelf for anxiety/depression.
After 10 years of tranquilizer addictions and no real relief from any medications (along with psychiatric treatment for 5 years) I found the support I needed with this, and have been meds free now for over 20 years.
I know just what you are feeling about your daughter and wanting relief, but also support letting the doctor give the therapy a good chance.
:hug: to you and your daughter!
