Penny - we all wish we could do something to help. I hope you feel that you can contact the forum whenever you feel like it. And although its hard to admit to and discuss with anyone, I think in the back of all our minds is the thought that our own kids might just not cope one day. Thinking of you.

She spends most of the day asleep because its easier than having to face anything. Cahms wont see her until next tues because I am at home with her she is classed as low risk.
She also trusted someone (a boy) who let her down so she has a broken heart too. She has a lot of healing to do. All I can do is wait until she can face real life again and then help her pick up the pieces.
Penny - Sleep is the body's way of healing. Just being there for her is all you can do, I feel sure she's glad you are. Eventually her heart will heal and she will begin to smile again. Just give her time.
I have been away for a few days - no phone, no internet - and am just catching up. I hope that things are a little brighter for you and your daughter this weekend?
I am sure that with your strength she will pick up the pieces, and you will together make progress.
We are all thinking of you both, and wishing you well.
