Hi everyone,
I had a referral for my DD several weeks ago. We had our initial assessment and I walked away feeling positive. Each week my daughter who is 7 writes in her diary and I write notes too, last week we took a voice recording of her with us which they have kept hold of. The problem is I have no idea what is going on, for the meetings it was thought we would get further without me being in the room. The problem is each week they bring her down to me and say "she did very well, we will see her again next week."
My daughter thinks she communicates with someone in her head and they talk to her and tell her to kill herself. She threatens me, her dad and brother everyday. She insults me calling me for example "a big fat ugly old woman". She can't control her temper, one moment she comes across as a confident cocky young girl and the next second she breaks down, later leaving me apology notes. She threatens to leave and has once walked out of the house. There is a huge mixture of things going on and I am starting to wondering if CAMHS are actually taking it seriously. We have tried everything before ending up at CAMHS including parenting classes all of which work short term and then her behaviours change.
My DD is very intelligent and has little problems in school apart from finding it difficult to build relationships with her peers, often falling out with them. I believe she finds it hard to understand the difference from what is real to what isn't, she makes up lies and can keep these lies going on for days (very detailed lies) and then she says oh it was a lie.
Has anybody else experienced CAMHS saying very little to them after each appointment? I just want to know what's going on, we are feeling very alone and starting to think they are just going to say we are parenting wrong. :(
Just to add we got the CAMHS appointment in less than a week xx
