Feel like I'm going mad and don't know what to do.

[Butwhhhyyyyyyy]

As above, my DC is starting high school this Sept, I am having panic attacks trying to work out how to get him there and pick him up I am agoraphobic and have severe anxiety andnp panic attacks. I keep crying and know I can't do it. Spoke to DH who said it will be ok and I can do it but I really can't, I tried it the other day and had a major panic attack.
I can't take antidepressants and had a breakdown 6 months ago and don't know where to turn, any ideas. Thanks

Could you pay someone to take him for a while? Or trade a favor- wash clothes, watch their dog, etc.?

When is your next doctor appointment?

Cake, thank you for the reply and flowers, I don't have any family and friends can not help, I am going back to the doctor's on Wednesday as I really do need to, I ment to say also DC has ASD and learning difficulties which make it trickier but was upset when I typed my op.

Do you claim pip or dla for child ? If so could you use this to get taxi on a contract (cheaper) ?

Or perhaps see if your eligible for taxi from your council under special needs ? Don’t know how it works, but have seen loads of taxis outside school picking kids up

You have a bit of time to sort things- maybe your dh will end up being right. (Just this once. :) )
Maybe your son has a friend whose family could help? Or you could contact a kind teacher from a previous year who might have an idea?
Make sure your doctor is aware of things.

Thanks ladies, I have put in an application for transport but not holding out much hope, DH may be right but I don't think I'm there yet, DC doesn't get DLA as it was refused and on appeal now.

Good luck with your appointment!

Thank you Cake and champagne

How are you doing? Do you have a school transportation plan yet?

Hi, no, they refused transport as it's not the nearest school to us and they don't take the parent health issues into consideration apparently, I am stuck and told them I don't know if he will be there in Sept.
