Daughter having bad thoughts

[ange08]

Has anyone ever had an issue with there child where they are having trouble with there thoughts like there thoughts are making them very upset and making them feel very down I'm not sure if I'm wording right any advice would be good

Sounds like she might be suffering from intrusive thoughts? It's an anxiety/ocd thing if I remember correctly. I suffered as a teen and it was absolutely awful and I couldn't talk to anyone, then I read about it and understood that I wasn't alone and what it was and it really helped. Look up intrusive thoughts anyway and see if it fits xxx

Hi thank you so much I'm really struggling on how to help her your message means a lot

Hi OP. How old is she? My DD 12 is going through similar, more along the lines of going over events of the day/week/year and worrying she's said and done things. She's struggling to recognise and differentiate between what's happened and what she has created in her head if that makes sense?

Handhold to you though, it's so hard not knowing how to help them

Hi my daughter is 12 and what you have said my daughter is going through the same thing as yours I have camhs calling today to do an assessment on my daughter to see if they can help her hopefully they can I'm sorry your daughter is going through this.

Evening ange08 ... how did your phone call go? I'm glad you're getting some support.

For us, school have offered counselling support but DD had to be happy for this. She says "It's fine, I'm ok" . So that's tricky as until she's ready to chat there's not much we can do.

Hi the phone call went really well there's a 30 week waiting list 😱 but I've also referred her to service six which is 10 week waiting list so hopefully see how that goes hopefully your daughter will talk soon I will keep my fingers crossed for you x

That's good news. Jesus those waiting list times though 😳

Thanks ... we'll cross ours too. Take care
