My daughter is 27. She has a history of anxiety and depression, self harmed a bit but that's stopped, no longer with CAMHs. She has friends, does go out a bit now. Has a boyfriend who she's with most of the time, she's fine in these little bubbles. However she doesn't like going out alone, will not go into shops unless using self scan as she won't talk to people. She's finished school but I just don't know what to do with her. She won't do A levels, she's just finished a 1 year course at her old school as a bridge between gcse and a levels. She won't go to a new college as it will cause her anxiety to go through the roof, won't use public transport, finding a job is hard enough let alone one that I quote "does not involve going out or talking to people"!!! What can I do?????? She's quite bright, seems such a waste.

Would she do A levels if she could do them at an online school like interhigh? Then in the meantime get more help with her anxiety?

That's a good idea, but she's as motivated as a. We'll something seriously unmotivated! However I might try and persuade her.... She also smokes weed regularly and sleeps a Lot!
