Episodes or just a constant state of self destruct?

[Lovingmum]

I’m guessing this varies from person to person but my son is in a constant spiral down. No good days or even ok days.
No routine, no friends just isolates himself.
I keep reading about episodes and people being pretty normal for periods.

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hello Lovingmum . My daughter seems to have a few months of things looking positive and hopeful , then when she seems to take the we next positive step very suddenly , seemingly out of the blue , becomes so angry and paranoid . Sadly the past year has been the most rocky . She had not had any hospital admissions throughout the year , but many visits to the GP and A and E too . Her cycle of self destruct / blame / anger compared to loving , appreciative , funny and kind has changed in that the good spells only last the odd day . She is not accepting any mental health diagnosis at the moment either , everyone else is the problem and everyone is deliberately making her out to be a bad person in her eyes .I am in the UK and try to work with mental health professionals advice . There have been many different professionals involved over the past six years since her diagnosis . We are her only constant really and at the moment I am hoping she calms d Ed bough again soon for some privately funded therapy . She began DBT 6 years ago , but struggled with it and wasn’t sufficiently supported to continue . The pressure as a parent to try to find the best direction is enormous . Stay strong and remember to take care of yourself through this.
