Anxiety Issues...

Hi.
Wondering if anyone can help. There must be someone who's been through this out there that can offer some words of wisdom.
So, my daughters anxiety started around the age of 4. Firstly thought that it was night terrors but as the years have gone on it has progressively got worse.
Now at the stage where she starts off sleeping in her room then spends the rest of the night on our bedroom floor.
Constant broken sleep throughout the night.
After parents evening last night it has now become aware that it is starting to effect her schooling & she is now falling behind. Initially was top in the class, now near bottom.
She is exhausted constantly.
No help from school nor doctors & I'm now a whits end where I just want the best for her & want the family to feel normal.
It is massively effecting everyone in the house..
I just want to know what else I can do to help so any suggestions would be great.

My daughter has been seen by Step2, CAHMS & also a paediatric consultant.
I have no idea who to push for her to see?
The GP just never seems to take me seriously..
There is a lot of things in the book that I have brought that ring so true with how my daughter is.

Apart from at night, is she anxious in general?

Would you like to explain any other issues you see with your dd behaviour. Or a good Vs bad day? I will try to suggest what can be done then. It seems to me you want a assessment so will try to help. Not being rude but as you mentioned before mental health runs in the family do you suffer from anxiety?

There is no good or bad day they're all the same.
I would like her to have a sleep analysis done as I'm not sure if there is something there that causes an issue or if she fall into a certain sleep cycle it wakes her..
Obviously the GP/Consultants are aware of my mental health issues & her fathers struggles as a child.
I no longer suffer with anxiety as bad as I did but do have bouts & situations that make me anxious.
