Hi all I'm at a loss as what to do. My 12 year old boy has always been challenging in one way or another from 2 years + he started high school this September and keeps telling me he hates his life. He spend all of his time in his room alone, gaming, phone but no "real" friends. He finds making friends very difficult indeed always has done. He basically doesn't have any and I feel so so bad for him. I have suggested thousands of things he could go and try, but he automatically dismisses them due to his incredibly self consciousness and low esteem. I try my very best to praise where it is due encourage him and he knows as hes told daily that I am always there for him. Last week he caught the bus to school and he had an absolute meltdown on the bus. He called me on the phone asking me to come but how could I ?? Im absolutely terrified he will harm himself or worse He has been to see CAHMS as a young boy and was discharged around 6 year old as their thoughts was that It was me who was the problem as I have clinical depression. Any advice guidance really welcome thanks for reading x
