My 11 year old daughter is presents as seemingly ‘typical’. Engages with family, friends and school. She attends after school activities willingly, plans activities with friends and family. Her behaviour and moods do not seem different i.e. eats well, sleeps, no withdrawal, no hiding in her room, no crying, etc. I acknowledge that she worries about friends and doing well. However, she has disclosed to the school chaplain and psychologist that she has suicidal thoughts. She can’t talk to me or her Dad.

Has anyone else’s experienced something similar?
