Advice needed with BP Teen

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I have a 19 yr old daughter with BPD and Bi-polar. We

have tried everything including group home at age 17 for one year.

She seemed to be ok after coming home for a little while. The

where we live, the county takes care of their children but once 18

most is gone. We have no more insurance on her and financially, we

have used pretty much everything we have on her treatment since the

age of 6. Social security is a joke, they have turned her down twice

and now we are awaiting a court date, our attorney says she will

eventually get it, she, in his opinion and many doctors, is gravely

worried that she will get herself pregnant, or a sexually transmitted

disease, or even killed on the streets. Can anyone give me some

suggestions on what to do next? Sometimes, I just feel like giving up

and falling apart. Yesterday, I felt good, today, I am not sure. I

guess I just need to know there are people out there who know what
