DD 13 has always been a sensitive child but did have friends, enjoyed going out and doing sleepovers until she started high school. She is in yr 9 now and things are getting worse and worse. She has no real friends (says she doesnt want any cos none of them are like her) but she is not happy being on her own at school. She has never been out of the house without us (parents). She now doesn't want to go anywhere even with us and hates being around people. She hates school. The only time she is happy is when she is at home drawing five nights at freddy's characters over and over. She can quite happily do this for days on end. She doesn't have any pride in her appearance and has to be encouraged to even shower.She was referred to CAMHS who have diagnosed severe social anxiety and she's started CBT sessions. She says they are pointless and wont help. She hated going and tells me she hates me. Her hearing is so sensitive that she won't sit with us to eat any more as she says she cant stand it. I am totally CLUELESS on what to do next to help. She is missing out on so much and she is unhappy when encouraged to do anything out of the house. Her school are aware but haven't done a great deal. I've got an apt to speak with the SEN lady again next week but really don't know what to ask them to do. I feel so helpless and at my wit's end
