Hi, I don’t know what to do. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense.
Any advise of how to try to get through the next few days of GCSE’s?
My dd’s anxiety & depression has became so bad she’s refusing to go to school (even out of the house tbh) She had her GCSE’s last week & week before and managed to go in and do a few but now refusing to go in this week.
Her last exam last week she nearly passed out & was crying. The invigilators ended up letting her do it outside of the classroom, their idea. This really helped. She is now panicking this will happen again but then won’t get help. Each day she feels sick, dizzy, generally ill. In the exams she says she can’t focus enough to do them as feeling like she’s going to pass out, keeps getting that rush feeling more or less constantly.
I don’t know what to do. She has 3.5 days left with 2 exams each day then that’s it. They have been able to rearrange the missed ones for this week but times running out. She’s missed this mornings one now too.
She says if she can be on her own she will try as she doesn’t feel as bad and can try to get through it. Being in a classroom is just exploding her feelings.
The invigilators said she can sit outside but that was to her not the sch. The sch are saying she has to go in the class room.
What can I do to help her? I do understand and have been in her situation many times before as I’m epileptic & know you can’t flip a switch for the nxt few days. It’s frustrating for us both as it’s 3.5 days then that’s it. She’s finished sch !
I said I know I’m asking a lot of her but I’m really worried about her exam results as she needs them for college. Just go in and take it step by step. You don’t know what they might be able to sort out when you’re there.
Pls be kind, I’m asking for help/advise. I am worried about her long term and we have things in place & in the pipeline.
