69% Informative

My daughter says if she can’t go back to being a teenager, then she wants to die.

She has tried both medication and therapy, but nothing worked for her.

Philippa says her actions, or inaction, are motivated by external referencing.

She seems caught in a cycle of comparing herself unfavourably with others, which online spaces exacerbate.
