@ghandigirl Thank you... We all certainly need healing prayers. My dear friend, Peg, has had a stroke... it is early days... she cannot speak... her right side is impaired. She has stabilized, but her prognosis is uncertain. She lives multiple states away, so I cannot visit a friend who has been like a beloved sister to me for many years. I humbly ask that those so inclined pray for her full and rapid recovery.
I have been reading your forum for years. I have never wrote before but I am feeling the need tonight. My 17 year old daughter was born at 23 weeks she weighed 1 pounds 7 ounces. She beat all the odds and none of the frightening things expected from being born so prematurely happened. She is a true miracle. She has some delays and is in special education. School had been going well but about 2 years ago it became hard to get her to school. She had extremely bad anxiety. We worked with Psychiatrist and Therapists to help her. They tried one medication that failed mainly because it turns out she is bi polar. After changing medication she seemed to improve and she went back to school a couple times. There is just to much history to type. But in short she has been in two mental facilities since May of this year. The last one due to overdosing on a medication. Tonight I am in another hospital with her. She became upset with me and broke into a locked cabinet, she believed she was overdosing on Benedryl thankfully it was not. This is terrifying to me because she realizes over dosing on Benedryl could kill her. Tomorrow she will be going back to another mental facility. I am so sad and I do not how to help her. She wants to accomplish so much in her life she has a want to work in nursing I have explained that she has to go to school to achieve her dream. She is also Autistic and we are working on getting her a final diagnosis and help for her in understanding the things that she does not understand about herself. I do not know exactly what I am asking. I guess I am trying to find out if anyone might have any insight about her. She worked so hard to survive as a baby. She spent 6 months in the NICU she has so much potential. I feel like I can't reach her.
Welcome to our forum and thank you for trusting us by sharing your powerful story with us. It is obvious you love your daughter deeply and I can feel your pain and fear for her. This is such a difficult situation for a mom to be facing. I am so sorry.

I will certainly keep you both in my prayers. May her doctors be guided to find the best course of treatment for her situation. May you both feel loved and find light especially during the difficult moments. May you be find peace an hope.
About 8 years ago, I was a devastated parent to a beautiful 16 year old high school daughter who suddenly developed debilitating migraines. My bright, happy and creative daughter was suddenly unable to get out of bed most days her pain was so extreme. We search out every doctor we could think of and so many different modalities of health care to try to figure out what was happening to her. It was the most difficult period of time in my life as I watched her barely being able to get out of bed. It was the most difficult period of her life as well. Our worlds did not look recognizable to either one of us. She missed over 60 days of school that year. I didn't know a parent could feel such love and fear for their child at the same time. I cried every day. But, I also started each day with some hope. It was this active hope that got me through each day and kept me moving forward. It helped me find moments of light in the darkness as well.
We got through hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatments with laughter. On her better days, she would even do art work inside the chamber. (I was allowed to be in the chamber with her thank goodness so she wasn't alone inside). We found humor in the fact that we kept arriving at Children's hospital for emergency medical treatments at the exact same time they would be playing the movie Air Bud. Usually in the exact same part of the movie. It is something we still laugh about today. We also discovered our Children's hospital had THE BEST FOOD anywhere. Seriously!
One day all of that active hope, all of that effort of searching for an answer and not giving up paid off. We found a fantastic Osteopathic Doctor who discovered the migraines were in fact caused by her old concussion and was actually able to FIX the problem, not simply manage the pain. It took many months and many Osteopathic Manipulation treatments but those migraines lessoned with each treatment until they completely went away without a reoccurrence.
I believe you will be able to discover new forms of light celticflower29 . I believe you will find active hope and allow it to help move you forward. May your daughter be filled with love and hope and may the world soften around her like the first rays of the sun rising as it greets the morning. May you both find peace and joy during this healing time.
@celticflower29 I echo what @lovendures has said. Welcome to our Forum and thank you for sharing your situation. It is not an easy one and it is brave of you to ask for support.
We are in the middle of a similar (not quite the same as you are dealing with) situation with our 14 year old daughter. Without going into too much detail, she was doing well for a bit and this past week has cycled back to having issues again. We have all the things - meds, psychiatrist, therapist, supportive school, etc., but even so, it is so, so hard. I completely sympathize with the helpless feeling of not being able to figure out how to make that breakthrough so you can start moving forward in healing, rather than cycling back to the same.
For what it is worth, I recall our psychiatrist saying how Oct. and May are two big mental health spike months where things seem to flare (Oct. as the days get shorter here in the northern hemisphere and not sure about why May...)
I will keep you and your family in my good thoughts for safety, clarity, patience and strength. Hang in there!
@celticflower29 We hear your sadness and pain for your precious daughter. Please know that you are both being lifted up for prayer, healing light, and for easing of the crisis your family is enduring.
Tonight, Jean's Circle of Light meditation group meets, and they will pray for you and lift up your daughter for healing.
Do not despair! We are all with you in Spirit.
@celticflower29 Thank you for reaching out. I am praying that all high-vibration beings help your daughter with opportunities, treatments, therapies and solutions to allow her to hit her stride and find fulfillment as she reaches adulthood. Many blessings to you both.
@celticflower29 Our Circle of Light met tonight (we meet every Wednesday at 7 pm ET) and sent your daughter and you healing. I feel she is going through a reset or adjustment and am feeling good about her healing process. Her healing is going on imperceptibly beneath the surface, like a butterfly forming in a crysalis, but it is happening, and at some point, she will emerge well. Of course she must be fully protected during this period, which you are doing by having her in a hospital. Make sure she is getting compassionate loving care at all times. I will continue to pray she receives the best and most loving care from the highest vibration caregivers. Have faith in her inner process and your light will reassure her.

I send you my love. As someone who was diagnosed with bipolar late in life I understand the pain and uncertainty you all are facing.
I am sending energy and strength for your daughter. The meds can be tricky. I am holding the intention for her to be guided in her treatment plan.
I also think you are doing everything right, but it is still hard. I hope you find comfort here.
@jeanne-mayell Hi Jeanne, I want to share w you here the “visit” you made in my meditation this afternoon during an acupuncture treatment. I’ve never had a live person visit my meditations. Usually I communicate w guides, angels, and ancestors. Like some other meditations, what I felt was a quick ten minutes was about 40 and I had a little difficulty staying focused in the beginning. So what I thought wasn’t a deep meditation, indeed, was one.
Your face and voice appeared clearly and while I’ll have to wait for the exact wording to make itself known in the days ahead, I remember some direct words, but the rest I’ll paraphrase. I do know you spoke only 3 sentences which was a message of reassurance and hopefulness.
You reminded me that I am a “loving and kind person” and wanted me to know (this part is sketchy still)—the gist of the feeling behind the message—is that I’m worthy of joy.
Perhaps it’s bc I recommended/shared w a friend a video interview of you discussing empathic abilities; she felt confused and was struggling a bit w her emerging realization? I also listened to the video recently. Regardless, it was a powerful and comforting message.
My world shaken again. 6 weeks ago my husband Greg passed from a rare Leukemia.2 days ago our youngest son Eric took his own life. He battled mental illness for so long., he has got to be at peace now. ❤ This wonderful group is so caring, you bring me comfort in a crazy world and time we live in. Thank you, Pat.
