Daughter seeing shadows

3 replies

Hi I would be grateful if anyone has any advice please. My daughter is 12 yrs old. Two years ago I left an abusive marriage of 26yrs. Both my children do not want to see their dad. My son went through a stage where he became very depressed but is much better now. They both had counselling. My daughter said she sees shadows at home, she gets scared afterwards, the shadows are dark grey or black and only last for a few seconds and when she looks at them they soon disappear. I have a phone appointment with the gp today for some advice. I just wondered if anyone else has been through this as I’m very worried, thank you.

It sounds like eye sight needs testing, or hallucinations and these can be associated with stress and with some mental health disorders. Please arrange for eye tests and GP appointment. Hope it goes well.
