My 7 year old has bad thoughts

Hi,

Within the last 2 weeks, my 7 year old daughter told me that her brain tells her she "hates mommy" or daddy and once she said "she hates god". But more often is about me, her mommy. I am so desperate and I don't know what to believe. She's always been so loving and we always had a very close relationship. She also started to tell me everything she thinks she does wrong, especially in school. On Thursday night she got so upset and she said that she is tired because there are so many things in her head that she has to tell me about. She said she didn't want to go to school so that she doesn't have anything bad to tell me anymore...
I don't know what to do... I am crying every day for not knowing what is wrong, or what is that I did wrong with her.
Please help!!

It sounds like it could have triggered the issue ,its a good thing that it is out and you can repair it, I am sure you wont make her take anything like that again, there are some good tasting gummy vits out there I have tasted them they are delicious .Lil Crits is an award winning childrens Vitamin she will gobble them like candy .It was a simple issue and you have dealt it it well . focus on her positive side and praise her when you see her doing something right,..Good luck

Thank you for your reply. She doesn't have any siblings or family around her other than us, her parents. She used to have a babysitter until about 4 weeks ago. In the last 3 weeks she has been going to this homework center after school and she seemed to be pleased with the change.
She is telling me that sometimes she has different arguments with some of her friends.. about who is playing what and with whom... but I thought this is normal for kids this age.
There is though one thing she confessed to me about almost 3 weeks ago, which I reacted very badly to. She told me that some time back she told a friend that she hated mommy, because I made her take a vitamin she refused to swallow. It was one of those chewy omega 3 that doesn't taste too great, so I told her to swallow it with water, just like adults do. She argued that she couldn't swallow it, so I got a bit upset at her. She was upset at me, too, so that's why she decided to tell her friend in the bus.
She confessed to me because she felt guilty, and when she did I started crying... I was so upset that she started crying too telling how much she loved me.
I am now thinking that maybe this started everything? I don't know what to think anymore.

I* would say something is going on at school, possibly some bullying , it would be a good idea to speak to her teacher , ask her to watch what is happening because in my opinion something is .Does she watch any TV without you there , any computer that would upset her. Has she any siblings ,babysitters, family  who may say scary stuff that has upset her ?
