Our daughter had something of a mental health crisis when she was in middle school, which is like 13.

And it was kind of that perfect storm of adolescence, you know, hormones, of vulnerability to anxiety, probably a kind of built-in vulnerability to anxiety that runs in the family, if you know what I mean.

And she got kind of bullied in school in a really unusual way that we didn't realize was bullying until kind of after the fact.

Somebody was telling her a lot of terrible things that were secrets that also turned out not really to be true.

And our daughter was holding all this terrible knowledge or what she thought was knowledge that she wasn't supposed to share with us.

And anyway... created a kind of perfect storm of panic and anxiety and maybe a little bit of depression.
