I search for countless hours on the internet and I can't find anyone reliable everyone seems very sketchy. Who can I trust, Im so overwhelmed. My daughter who never showed signs of such issue like 'EVER"... What has happened to her? She was girly, always dressing up like a princess, had friends. Now she has no friends, and the few that she had were all in the same boat, going through similar scenarios. Now a days, my daughter doesn't eat to shave, she has the worst hygiene, she's always wearing hoodies and jogging pants, she hates makeup, he armpits are scary, she self harms every chance she can or is experiencing anxiety. She walks in circles, talks to herself, is continuously shaking her hands, she starts laughing all of the sudden for the weirdest reasons, keeps to herself in her room most the time, is all the sudden into anime and weird dark cartoons, doesn't want a relationship with me or her father, she cannot stand us, she has no respect for us, I don't know what to do or where to go from here. HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the forum, Mommy123.
I am so sorry for the troubles your daughter and yourself are having. It is such a difficult and upsetting situation to find yourselves in.
I am sending you a PM (private message) with a possible name in a nearby town.
In the meantime, your account has been activated. I encourage you to post your query in the members-only area, now that you have access to it as a forum member. If you post in that area, more members will see your post and you'll have a better chance at getting a response. I also encourage you to visit this page, which has advice for finding, interviewing and vetting therapists: https://genderexploratory.com/browse/
Often, finding your own therapist using this advice is the best or sometimes even the only way to find a therapist, as most cannot advertise that they offer an exploratory approach because it is considered within some laws to be conversion therapy. Obviously it is not, but that is the insane position parents find themselves in these days.
There is additional advice for finding and vetting therapists inside the members-only area of this forum.
Hang in there, fellow parents are here to offer what help we can, as well as lots of support.
Wishing you the best, and again, welcome to the forum.
