Yes busy in a good way �� I haven't really got anything much planned this week at the moment, I'm taking the day off from my placement because I'm not feeling very well so me and Mia are currently chilling on the sofa watching a film, Lena is off sick too but she's still in bed
Oh no! Hope you aren't feeling too poorly. I suggest a movie day snuggled in duvets!
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
A duvet day sounds perfect, get better soon.gif "(bear)")

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Today is a bad day, my depression seems to have gone really downhill over the past couple of days, I'm back to sitting around and getting nothing done and I've just eaten a whole chocolate orange and feel disgustingLena confided in my that she has thought about suicide and it was the most absolutely devastating thing and I'm going to get her booked in to see the doctor, I feel awful, I don't know where I went wrong but I can't stand to think of my beautiful amazing little girl feeling anything like the way I do, I just feel like such a huge failure, she's only 11 :/
It could be anything causing her to feel like that so please don't beat yourself up. Growing up seems to be so much harder these days, there is so much pressure on them from all directions. Have you asked her why she's felt that way? The doctor may refer her to CAMHS, if he does, please be aware that there is generally a long waiting list

I really don't know how to make you feel any better, but you are a great mom who loves her child. Her feeling that way can be caused by anything from exhaustion to social overload, or from school pressure to growing up. My mom told me all feelings are allowed, and hard ones we deal with together. I had alot going on as a child, but I am grateful to my Mother for making sure my childhood is something I don't have to recover from. You are trying to do the same, and she will remember that. Always.
Sorry I took this long to read all missed posts, I never for got your thread though. Wish I could give you a big hug

Oh sweetie, I’m sorry, that’s such a hard thing to deal with. My youngest was 13 when her school rang to tell me she SH. I was devastated particularly when I found out it was partly due to the fall I had that left me disabled - she’d struggled with the way that changed our lives. It took a long time to figure out that it wasn’t my fault. The best thing I could do to help her was get her any necessary medical support and make sure she knew I loved her and I wasn’t angry she felt this way. You’re not a failure, lovely, and the fact she knew she could talk to you about this is a huge thing.

A lot of children feel like that because of pressure from social media and at school, it's good she felt she could talk to you about it, is she being bullied at school (she's just started at senior school hasn't she). You didn't do anything wrong at all and you mustn't blame yourself, things like this happen in this modern high pressure society and she turned to you which shows she trusts you as a mum.

Oh hunni!
This has nothing to do with you being a "failure" because you aren't!
