My daughter appears to be depressed, I'm not sure she is though. Shes so emotional and on edge all the time . We have been to see a child psychologist before, this time last year in fact as she was having bad thoughts. I have talked to her and she has told me that it is about a boy, a boy that she cares about and has done for about 3 years but its not returned. She cant even mention his name. I keep trying to talk to her about it but she closes up and says she cant face it or going in to school. I have listened and talked but its breaking my heart that she feels this way and I cant do anything about it. Any advice ?

Always be on hand to listen day or night talk to her like an adult and that nothing she can tell you will seem silly if it's causing her pain then it's important to you.

Is she on any contraception that might be making her hormones off balanced? Does she suffer from anxiety?

Encourage her to spend time with friends maybe she has a good friend who you also like maybe arrange a day out with them make her feel beautiful and let her know that if he doesn't feel the same way about her then he doesn't deserve her in the first place.

Being a teenager was so tough I'd never want to do it again everything felt like the end of the world and now I'm older and I see teens suffering the way I did I feel for them growing up isn't easy at all. All you can do is let her know you're there you sound very loving to of posted this x Flowers for you dd and Wine for you x
