My daughter has had depression for more than 3 years. Yet It's been 2 years since I've last seen her this down. Things have changed alot since we moved houses, she's been happier and gained alot more self-confidence than she ever did. Of course, she still takes meds and my husband and I do our best to keep her happy. But lately I've been picking up on her behaviour. She's been passing out on lunch saying she doesnt want to get fat and has been locking herself up in her room for the majority of the day, except when she has school of course.I've asked my son about this, since they are extremely close. He said the been picking it up as well but doesn't really know what to say about. I, sadly, work most of the days and arent home until around 8-9 pm so I dint see alot of what happens when she gets home. My husband stays at home and so, most of what I know is from him.I've asked her a couple of times if she wants to talk about her problems, she does. But it's not really what I wanted to hear. I just know she's hiding it from me, and I'd be lying if i said I wasnt hurt that she doesnt want to open up.But the kicker for me was what happened last night. We were already asleep when my daughter started knocking on the door. She was visibly crying when I opened it, that night she slept in bed next to me. When morning came I immediately noticed the large amount of vitamin pills missing from the medicine cabinet. And inside I just knew. She did something with them.I didn't go to work that day and stayed home with my husband to look for the missing pills. I know vitamins cant kill you ( be welcome to disagree ). But nonetheless I was panicking when I went over all her things just to find them next to her pencil case.Right now I'm not allowing her to sleep alone in her room. And I'm really stuck here. I'm not quite sure what I can do. And I need advise on how to handle this properly via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Mi9bKz
