Hi everyone, my daughter who has recently turned 10 has some very negative feelings about herself - that she is a bad person, she is selfish, no-one likes her, she wants the world to go away and sometimes she says she wants to die. She?s previously had a referral for anxiety but actually didn?t score very highly on the tests. I think perhaps this is more of a self-esteem/depression issue. My heart breaks for her and she seems so young to be having these feelings. I?m really keen to get her some help, I?m thinking perhaps CBT, to help her feel more positive about herself. Please can anyone recommend anything or anyone that has helped their child in a similar situation? Thank you.

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      Just last week I received cheques from NS&I. I wasn't given the option of bank transfer for the particular transaction. My nearest option for a parcel pick up point was the post office! The only cash point this week was the post office as the coop ATM was broken.   Many people of whatever age are totally tech savvy but still need face to face or inside banking and post office services for certain things, not least taking out cash without the worry of being mugged at the cash point.    It's all about big business saving money at the expense of the little people who, for whatever reason, still want or need face to face service.   At least when the next banking crisis hits there won't be anywhere to queue to try and demand your money back so that'll keep the pavements clear.

      I think it was more amazement that anyone uses cheques on a large enough scale anymore for it to be an issue.    Are cheque books even issued to customers by banks anymore? That said government institutions seem to be one of the last bastions of this - the last cheque I think I received was a tax rebate in 2016 from HMRC.  It was very irritating.

      I know you have had a couple of rather condescending replies, advising you to get to grips with technology and live in the modern world. I sympathise with you. I think some of us should try to be a bit more empathetic and acknowledge not everyone is a technophile. Try to see things from a perspective that is not just our own. Also, why give the banking sector carte blanche to remove any sort of human/public facing role. Is this really what we want?
