(Manitoba Canada)My daughter has recently been falling behind in classes and seems to be entering depression. She'll be 11 this upcoming weekend.She's been struggling in some studies and instead of asking for help or telling anyone she bottles up till she melts down. She'll just cry, crawl under a table or lock herself in a bathroom. She'll slap herself in the head and say that she's stupid. Say she doesn't deserve to eat dinner for being bad at school that day.There has been times she's said she feels like she doesn't belong in this world. She hates her life. Told me not to cook her chicken and just let her get sick from salmonella!? Recently she's started picking at a scab till it bleeds over and over. Refusing aid from teachers. Pushing away and scaring school peers. They want to help her but she acts literally nuts and ridiculous and the kids in her class are now avoiding her. She just moved schools and this was supposed to be a fresh start as she had similar problems at her previous school but she was being bullied there. Now I'm thinking the bullying wasn't the issue at the core as the same behavior are appearing here in a new school with zero bullying happening. I fear this might be the beginning of her self harming with the whole picking scabs thing. She's never purposely hurt herself before. She's driving away friends and making it worse by the day. She won't talk to me or anyone for that matter. I'm so heart broken I can't help her.I'm beginning to wonder if she's perhaps on some spectrum and we've gone to the doctor who's referred us to a child psychologist in the area however we've not been able to see them yet.Please any experience, advise, opinions.I can't stand to see her hurting and we need help. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Jg6isX
