My 11yo has severely been struggling with sleep for 3 nights, as in its gone 11pm before she manages to fall asleep and then has a broken night's sleep. She is exhausted.
She has suffered with anxiety since she was small. She was under cahms at 7yo and she now has another referal but the wait is long.
We are waiting to see her teacher about adhd to discuss. She spends her life obsessing about negative friendships, to the point that it's like she manifests things. She says one child is beating her up but we have witnessed one event of what she described as beating up and actually both children had their arms around each other jumping up and down and giggling with excitement (my dd describes this as friend trying to strangle her and that it was terrifying - she cried when she told me). It's all she can think about. She spends most of her time at home screaming, crying and being angry.
I've spoken to the GP who referred her to a local Mind worker - it did nothing for her at all. I'm not too sure where to go from here, both from a mental health perspective and sleep perspective. Any advice would be very welcome.
