DD, 18, is due to sit GCSE maths.
Missed all y11 due to MH issues. Still recovering.
Currently saying she can't do it, what's the point, it will all go wrong.
I've got until 8am Friday to get her into the right frame of mind.
Stupid thing is, she knows enough maths to pass.
The hours I have put in with her on her maths over the years.
I'm broken right now.

Sorry to hear this, Teen. Anxiety can be very cruel.

Ad as you see I am up at stupid o'clock.

Thanks Thomas

I hope DD has managed to attend college for the maths exam.

She did thank you @ThomasWasTortured . I'm not sure she stayed long enough to get enough marks, but maybe she'll manage the other 2 papers better. And she went in which is a win from where we were this time yesterday.

That is good news. Even though DD couldn’t stay for the whole exam, like you say, attending at all is positive.
