I've named changed for this as very outing.
My daughter rang me today hysterical about her exam tomorrow. She has had at least 3 panic attacks today in front of me and I've heard her being sick with nerves.
She is at a Russell group university doing her Masters and has done very well in other assignments scoring 80 in her research work this semester. She has a first class degree and is very able.. But her nerves are so deliberating.
She started her revision the day after her birthday in early october. She starts revising on kitchen table at 10am and finished around 10pm. Every day. I beg her to take time out to see friends and relax but she says she can't as she will fail.
She has missed now 2 exams because of her panic attacks. She has has them from around age 13 but seems to have got worse as she grew up. She is on antidepressants and diazepam but they aren't doing much.
She is crying now saying she is a failure.
I was wondering if anyone had experience of this? I read online somewhere that reasonable adjustments can be brought in so that exams can be swapped for coursework based tasks or smaller unseen tasks throughout the semester?
Her uni seems helpful I just want to tell her some options she may have
