Not sure which section to post this in.
Ds2 is 9.5 and in yr5. He has had great difficulty sleeping lately and has become quite low. He came home from a school disco last night with a friend and his dad. The dad was concerend as ds2 had been talking in the car about dying and killing himself.
He has done this before and tends to have bouts when he is very low. He is a bright lad and doing well academically, but despite this has low self-esteem. He feels like he doesn't fit in and says he can't help his thoughts.
I'm thinking of going to speak to the special needs teacher at his school - she does pastoral issues too I think. I'm hoping she can point me in the right direction.
I'm worried - he's only 9 and seems so low.
