Jillian came to Mountain Valley, a residential treatment facility in New Hampshire, after 2 years of only intermittently going to school. Jillian, 16, who asked that her last name not be used, suffered from social anxiety (made worse by cyberbullying from classmates) and emetophobia, a debilitating fear of vomit. “There’s feeling a weight on your chest, and there’s the feeling of 16 people sitting on top of each other on your chest,” she said. “As soon as I’d wake up, it was absolute dread.” After leaving Mountain Valley, Jillian continued to struggle. She and her mother, Allison, argued constantly. Jillian thought her mother could be insensitive. Allison struggled with when (and how hard) to push her daughter. She knew Jillian had a serious disorder, but she also knew it wouldn’t get better by letting her hide out in her room. “The million-dollar question of raising an anxious child is: When is pushing her going to help because she has to face her fears, and when is it going to make the situation worse and she’s going to have a panic attack?” Allison told @nytmag. “I feel like I made the wrong decision many times, and it destroyed my confidence as a mother.” Sasha Rudensky took this portrait of Jillian in her room in Florida.
