When parent and teen both struggle with mental health

My teenage daughter and I are both dealing with depression and we've fallen into this pattern where we either completely avoid each other or have these intense conversations where we're both trying to be the one who helps the other and it feels like we're drowning together. I keep wondering if we're actually making each other worse by trying so hard to understand each other's pain.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people sharing similar wounds can create a feedback loop where their attempts at mutual healing become a form of mutual harm.
