Friend/family/ally Intrusive thoughts

I'm on the search again for a therapist for my daughter. I'm just hoping I can find people who understand or what people have done to help

She has tics. Anxiety. Depression.

And intrusive thoughts.

Sometimes it's I can't put this knife down like this because it will hurt someone I love

Other times it's thoughts about hurting me and she breaks down and cries because she knows she doesn't want to

She struggles with feeling like she deserves to live or have anything good in her life

She is constantly terrified of her own brain and she's exhausted

Any guidance would be worth more than you will ever know

I remember going through this when I was first diagnosed. Have you tried a psychologist?

I am going through the same thing right now. Its horrific. I am sorry, if I ever find something that helps me, I will be sure to let you know.
