Does my 6 year old need professional help!?

So my daughter has had so horrendous behaviour recently. I've had enough and I've been really annoyed with her this week to the point I wanted to hand over my rights to her dad (which is out of the question) I've been ready for giving up and I'm not sure I want to be her mum anymore.
Tonight we sat down and had a one on one talk. I asked her what's been going on. She's struggled so hard to tell me anything then eventually burst out crying saying
"I don't know what's wrong with me"
"I keep thinking about running away, it's stuck in my head but I don't want to run away"
When I asked her what she's running away from she said
"I want to run away from myself"
This totally broke me seeing her so upset and she has no idea what is going on inside her head
It's been a really rough year for us all and I don't know if it's took it's toll on her massively or if I'm over thinking? What do you guys think??

It's hard to say from what you have said in your post. What is the behaviour that you are currently finding difficult? It sounds like you have both had a difficult time which is likely to have impacted on your daughter's behaviour. It sounds like she just needs some reassurance that there's nothing wrong with her but she's having a difficult time at the moment. Do you have any support in real life?
