Going back to school after the easter break

I am writing this on the behalf of my 12 year old son.  He is very anxious about going back to school.he has just started sertraline to help with anxiety and suicidal thoughts, and is at school for half days.  He says that he is really anxious about going back to school, and finds it much easier to talk to people on the computer.

My young man says that when he goes to school, he feels that there is a voice inside his head that is constantly saying he is worthless and why would people talk to him.  This voice also belittles his image as he has low self esteem.

Does any one have any tips that can help

Thank you, Crazy

  • Hi - not a tip unfortunately, but a couple of questions.  What support does he get at school?  Is there a school that would suit him better?  It's so sad that some of our children suffer so much + have to take ssri's in an effort to cope with what life throws at them.  They are so let down in so many ways, as are the adults.
