I wish the best for you and your daughter. Refusing to go to counseling or stress management hurts. It is so important. I am thankful that my loved one is very willing to go to therapy. It has helped her a lot. I am sure you have stressed counseling with your daughter. Tell her that if she tries counseling, and doesn't like the counselor, that she can try a new one the next month. She will find someone that she falls in love with. It is all so difficult. The counseling is so important. With the right person, it will help to fill the toolbox with the tools necessary to help manage the anxiety, panic disorder, and depression. Not make them disappear, but help to manage it. I have found that psychiatric medication, without counseling, is not a good way to go. They need to go hand in hand.

We are currently looking into medical billing/medical transcription. The problem is, she does need to get out. I know this differs from some people with bipolar and anxiety issues. It is so hard to find a happy medium.

Thankfully, I am in a position to help her start her own business, even if it loses money. I am not wealthy, but I love her to the point that all of my disposable income is hers if it will help. It would not be good for her mentally to do it unless she could break even or make a little bit within a couple of months. I think we can work something like that out. We have discussed selling arts and crafts online.

I am trying very hard to help her. She means the world to me. My knowledge is limited in this area. I know that things will work out. I am building as many ideas as possible, we will then discuss them and see what she is most comfortable with.

My thoughts are with you and your daughter.
