7.4 today HappyNew year to ALL
Ahh....Thank you Anne! I shall spend some time later reading those. I'm very aware it's not my doing, knowing she has always seen my positivity and optimistic nature. The most obvious cause has been the school environment and certain not so nice individuals that's I have been in to school about every time! Just hoping things get moving on Wednesday now xHi Kimbo,
Here in Australia I run a charity that works in the area of prevention of anxiety, depression and suicide in children and young people. It is not uncommon for children around your daughters age to have mental health issues. There are so many changes going on in her brain around that time, particularly in the area that covers emotions. Depression at that age is not uncommon either, sadly.
Firstly, I want to say this is not your fault, as parents we tend to blame ourselves. All of us have different levels of resilience and coping mechanisms. The best thing you can do it to get her some help. I looked up a couple of uk sites that have good information and links. Hopefully these can point her in the right direction.

Also a link to a very useful video clip from Andrew Fuller who talks about signs and symptons;

I hope these help.

My very best to you too for this new year- let's carry on rocking this thing!!
I was about to ask about school when I read this. My daughter suffers from anxiety and panic attacks. When she got married it was a quick visit to the registry office and a meal out! We had booked a wedding at a small venue and gave s deposit. Just the initial visit there left her with heavy breathing and high temperature. A week later we cancelled and lost the deposit. She doesn't like being the centre of attention. A group of Girls at primary school were not nice at all. She doesn't like to see them in the street even now and she's almost 28. I remember her running up the road to the local grammar school to take the test. She saw it as her way to escape those girls. She passed the test and escaped those girls but there are always girls like that wherever one goes and she's never lost the scars from her primary days. I wish you and your daughter all the very best.Ahh....Thank you Anne! I shall spend some time later reading those.

Happy New Year Kim, well hopefully it will be considering present circumstances. I feel for you and your daughter and hope she gets help and improves.Well....A 6 for me, not my favoured 5 ' s but I expected after later meal last night with protein that I'd normally eat earlier and two 6gm carbs each truffles as a end of year indulgence ! Considering I never went beyond a daytime 8 all over Christmas and boxing day I think I did ok!!
So, now looking ahead to the continuing journey....ten days until I drop the meds!!
