Thanks for everyone's honesty. We decided (actually she was begging for something to help her feel better) to put her on Lexapro after a year and a half of therapy. She "felt crazy" and cried every night before bed, she couldn't to sleep, when she did she'd wake up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep. She always had a lump in her throat and felt like she couldn't breath. Since on Lexapro, she thanks us about 3 times a week for getting her help and making her feel normal. Pretty strong words for a 10 year old. I don't know if we made the right decision or not, but we're trying our best. I'm not sure if what she's explaining is normal 10 year old stuff or if she is experiencing depersonalization/derealization. It does not run in the family and has only started within in the week. Thanks again for all your opinions. I will take them to heart.
