My teenage daughter has suffered with low self confidence and anxiety for a number of years. She has panic attacks as a result of being in stressful situations. She has had cognative therepy to help control her attacks.
She
enjoys spending time chatting to friends using the internet. She seems to have few real friends that she actually meets up with. She is obsessed with her appearance taking hours to do her hair and make up, yet she rarely washes and her bedroom is disgusting. She is still at college and has a part time job (seems reluctant to do any extra hours than 7per week not seeking overtime) She is quiet by nature and hates to be the centre of attention yet will place loads of pictures on her social networking site and is delighted by the 'liked' comments. It's as though she is hiding behind a mask when online. I just want her to be happy within, have better hygeine and more relaxed as by doing so I feel she will attract genuine friends. Any suggestions on how I can help her would be appreciated:)
