My 13 year old daughter has always been very emotionally intense, literally since she was a baby. Everything is a huge deal and she's always the victim and she has constant meltdowns. She is always miserable and makes everyone around her miserable. She is rude and mean to her siblings and to us her parents.
I don't know what to do anymore. She refuses help for years now. A few years ago we tried therapy and medication for her anxiety. She stopped it and refused to go back on or to go to therapy any more.
We've tried the positive attention, personal time,extra privileges route and shes still just as miserable. We've tried the consequences route and still no real change.
I'm at my wits end. Nothing is good enough, she's never happy, and I have no idea how to parent her.

Have you had her evaluated? Have your tried different parenting methods like nurtured heart?

I have a kid like this. She doesn't have a diagnosis like asd or adhd but it's for sure a brain thing for her. Addressing her nervous system has helped a lot. We've done some alternative things. If you're interested in this route you can let me know.

I have a kid like this. I suspect adhd w anxiety. I'm not very much into meds (although I have another kid w severe adhd on meds) and I'm trying different things.
What do you suggest? I'm open to hearing new ideas.

Maybe start a new thread. I don't want to hijack this one.

Rule out Pandas and Lyme disease.
Stop giving the negativity attention and focus on the positive actions of everyone.
Completely ignore any negatively unless she isn’t safe to herself or others.
Reward positive activity.
Reserve big rewards for her agreeing to go to therapy and taking medication.
