Ok. More personal experience with my 15 yr old.

I had a case of Covid blahs today. Sort of just felt bland to mildly depressed. Went to see my daughter and she asked how I was. I told her. She made unhappy sounds and gave me a nice hug. Best part of the whole day. Easy.

Suggestion. Can you level (somewhat) with your daughter and bring her into YOUR trouble? Meaning, this is making you ill with worry.

A pretty nuanced conversation. And, you want to practice, script it some. It may be if she knows her issues are weighing hard on you, that you can problem solve together?

But be gentle. This is a thin skinned child!!!
