Just looking for advice. I have a 13 almost 14 yr old daughter. She has recently confided in me that she is having what sounds like panic attacks, she doesn't like being around people. This time last year she was full of confidence and was really chatty etc. now she just wants to be on her own. She had good friends she still sees and the usual high school girls she doesn't get on with but she says that doesn't bother her.
She doesn't like anything about herself even though I constantly praise her, she is lovely!
She can't sleep well because she says she hears voices telling her that she is horrible and ugly.
Do we just ride this out and hope its teenage hormone stuff or do I seek help? She isn't the same girl, she is so sad and I'm starting to worry she is getting to a stage that she will close off completely.
Thanks for any advice xx
