My daughter is suffering depression and anxiety and also is ASD and ADHD.
Last night she was in a negative cycle. Very very upset. We called the camhs crisis team but they didn't call back.
She was saying some hurtful things like she has nothing. (We had just decorated her room to help her as she didn't like the colour. She has a lot.
She said all the people in her year. ( year 11. So 15-16 all have jobs or rich parents. Also not the case. Some are well off but they are probably given less pocket money than her.
She said she has no friends. She does they text her asking her to come to school. She is managing a few mornings.
So she does have friends.
Also said she needs new bras. This is true and I said we can get some at the weekend.
She said she doesn't look after her hamster properly. She actually does and if she didn't. I feed him obviously.
She said there was no point in living as she can't cope with exams. This is when we rang camhs.
I understand a negative loop but why is she saying things that are simply not true.
