Hello. Sorry this still has been a struggle for you. I am always surprised by some of the teenage stories I've heard.

Anyways, it seems like therapy would help and maybe recheck medication? Maybe a family therapy to figure out why she acts like this and what you can do to help and DBT like someone suggested?

Some parenting book on bipolar disorder and ODD may help. I know a book for ODD/ADHD called "The Explosive Child". Apparently it's a good book (never read it), but it talks more than just an "explosive child". Anyways, this is my advice. I know that it may be hard for her to communicate like I have trouble communicating with my mom. Life isn't simple. But at least you trying shows that you haven't given up on her. So keep trying.

Social anxiety disorder, GAD, OCD, and panic attacks
