I believe that there are several factors working on her, but that's a whole different story. |
Not really. But everyone is different. The beginning of sobriety was very emotional for me. But I wouldn't say it was depression per se. More mixed and just very, very volatile.
I hope your daughter is seeing a doctor. When I'm saying "I just want to die" I need a change in my meds. It's not a tolerable place to be. Even if I'm sober. I hope things calm down for you and your daughter. It took me a long time to get diagnosed correctly and medicated appropriately. It's so hard when you are going through all that. Just keep working with her doctors until you find a balance. Good for her for being clean and sober!!
