There is a significant limit to what a parent can do, legally, if a mentally ill adult child chooses not to take meds, especially if they don't live at home. If your daughter is a danger to herself or others, you could intervene, but otherwise there is not much you can do. I would seek therapy for yourself, maybe a T could help you to learn to cope with your daughter's choice and move on with your life.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
