*hugs* I have struggled having a child with mental health issues too, though mine is much younger. Our life was a complete wreck until one day we hit the right med combo. Nothing is worse than watching your child go down that road, despite everything you do. Meanwhile, the whole world just blames it on "bad parenting."
Is your daughter compliant with taking medication? She may need additional or entirely different meds. It's a guessing game that can take years, and then even then they need tweaked. Therapy is a good idea too if she isn't currently going. Definitely worth a shot.
You are likely going to face some very difficult decisions as parent. Given her age, one of those down the road may be to let her hit rock bottom. You can't help someone who won't help themselves. I know it's not what you want to hear. I wish I could give you better advice [emoji20]
