Dd1 was suddenly hysterical and is refusing to tell me why

[NuttyMuffins]

A moment ago she was stood in the living room discussing swaps of high school musical stickers with her sister. They didn't argue and dd2 said that dd was fine when she went out to the garden but very shortly after I heard Dd1 sobbing in the garden.

I went to ask her what was wrong and she ran upstairs telling me to leave her alone and nothing was wrong.

But she was really really upset and I have no clue why.

She has calmed down now but said that nothing was wrong and she has nothing to tell me.

how strange.

She's not getting hormonal is she?

Maybe she really doesn't know why she was crying.

Maybe she'll tell you later when she's feeling a lot better.

Well she is 9 so could be hormones yeah.

It was just so odd, she was happy one minute and hysterical the next.

She has just gone back outside with dd2 and attempted to decapitate her with the skipping rope.

My 2 are like this all the time (not that it makes it any better). DD2 (7) winds-up dd1 (9) and its tears-city. I try to separate them if it all starts kicking off.

Ok something is definatly ging on.

We sat down for dinner and Ds started to ask her something about the PS2 and she burst into tears again and shouted why won't people leave me alone and stomped upstairs again.

I followed her up and she is adamant she is not going to tell me whats wrong.

oh bless her.

Sounds hormonal to me (it sounds like me when hormonal, in fact )

leave it to the morning, maybe - and then ask her if she is not telling or can't tell cos she doesn't know?

Ok have figured it out.

After her telling me that it was that she'd bumped her head in the garden we finally got to the truth. She had 5 high school musical stickers to swap and she's lost them.

I have just found them and so peace is restored.

Am still amazed that she got so upset, but still.

Hmm still not sure she has told me all there is to tell. She still seems very quiet and teary.

I know i'll have to just leave it if she doesn't want to tell me, but why can't she tell me, makes me feel awful that she can;t.

I had a similar episode last week with DS (aged 10).
It went on for hours and intermittently he told me 'this ' was the prob then 'that' was the prob. i didn't get to the bottom of it and eventually he fell asleep.
It started out of nowhere just as in your case.

The following morning at the school gates another mum said to me "I see Jxxx has fallen out with your DS"
..and so there I had my answer, but I knew there was no way he would have told me. No idea why he wouldn't and like you it makes me feel awful.
