She told me herself via text (too difficult for her to talk about it in person). Apparently she's been cutting herself for several months due to being so stressed with school. We talk a lot about her school work situation, as she got very behind during the last lockdown...I kind of thought we'd ironed out the worst of the stress :-(
I'm a psychotherapist, which weirdly is making things feel even trickier. I feel sad (and a bit embarrassed?!) that she's felt unable to share her worries/stress, and I'm having to try not to sound too "counsellor-y" when I'm talking about it with her.
She's also asked that I don't tell her dad (DH) about it, as she doesn't want him to "see her differently" :-(. I'm going along with that for now, but hope she'll change her mind soon, as this is an awful thing to keep to myself. Again - I feel I should know how to deal with this aspect of it, being a therapist 'n all.
I'm also feeling so pissed off with her school, which as been absolutely useless during the pandemic (and tbh not that great before either...). It's no wonder she's feeling completely overwhelmed and at see with her work.
Not sure what I want, other than to get this off my chest.
