My personal life is completely shattered as I try to deal with everything on my own, and my stress levels have been through the roof. She still battles with self-harm and Dermatillomania, but hasn't made another attempt. My beautiful girl is now 14 and no closer to recovery.

So an official diagnosis has eluded us thus far. During all this, more tests were done except one last, very expensive one, the Pragmatic Language Test. She has been self-harming continuously, as well as Dermatillomania, a suicide attempt in November, then a stint in the Adolescent Mental Health Facility in Melbourne, for 2 weeks. Since that time, we've been through test after test, because her case worker and Psychiatrist suspected that my daughter may have Asperger's Syndrome. My last post was about my daughter, and the struggles she was facing. Its been a very difficult year (or two), but I've learned so much.

Ok, so yes, it's been a year since my last confession! No I'm not Catholic.
