My kid is slitting her wrists

My daughter is slitting her wrists. I am really not sure why. She states that it is kind of a release for when she is upset, that she does it and it makes the stress kind of go away. I asked her how well it works and she says not that well.

The possibilites seem to be (in my mind):
1.) attention
2.) self loathing
3.) Peer pressure/acceptance
4.) omgwtfbbq

She lives with her mom in Texas and I see her at spring break, christmas and summer. During spring break, she had a few slits on one wrist. Her mom knows about it but hasn’t gotten serious about counseling or anything.

Unhealthy obsessions

Got any?

I do. I have a ridiculously unhealthy obsession with Mr. Jim Morrison. I’ve always known that I have the same hair texture as him and now that my hair is a tad shorter it looks JUST like his except my hair is red. I’m making fashion choices in order to CHANNEL Jim Morrison now.

I’ve always attempted to channel him before by playing his music religiously on my piano…but now it’s ever better. I’m going to take pictures imitating his signature pictures (No I won’t do the topless thing haha, but I will do that pose).

I have a serious problem with holding a job.

I can’t seem to ever concentrate when I’m working after 2-3 months. I totally just lose all my focus, I don’t know why this is. I should go see a doctor about this. I’m not on any medication (except for my TB meds) I’ve been this way for a long time now, probably since I was 16. Anybody know why I’m like this? I’m 27, I should be passed this "This job sucks" attitude and I know this. I might be schizo.

Have you been having hallucinations, catatonic behavior, delusions, or very disorganized behavior? If you have you might have schizophrenia…go see a psychiatrist ASAP.

How likely am I to get Schizophrenia

I’ll start off by saying my father had Schizophrenia. I never really knew my father, he took his own life when I was 5. Now that side of the family does have some mental issues, and I admit I’ve had bouts of depression, but it’s never been for long. I’ve never gone to a doctor about it, or a therapist and I know OT isn’t the greatest place to post shit like this, but I decided to do some reading up on it today.

I know Wikipedia isn’t the most credible source of information and I know I shouldn’t google diagnose myself, but I found this as a symptom.
