Hi there, my 15 year old daughter (year 10) has been suffering with school anxiety and has been home-schooled since Christmas as we could no longer get her in. She has been motivated and working well at home up to now, has been having regular private counselling and is about to get some CBT with CAMHS. She has the odd meltdown every couple of weeks which normally doesn't last more than a day, but the current one seems to be worse than usual. She won't get up now, weeping and insisting on catching up sleep in the day, so no doubt her sleep will suffer again and the cycle could continue. Trying not to project this all too far into the future! I've suffered from clinical depression and panic disorder myself in the past so it's easy to get fearful I guess. I'm struggling not to become a bully to get her to stay awake. Should I just let whatever cycle it is work its way out? She is exhausted by swinging between wishing she was able to cope with school and wishing she never had to see it again. Still on role and occasional support from teaching staff when we ask for it, but no pastoral support from the school at all, which was partly where all this originated... She has a few friends that she meets with at weekends outside school. Would be lovely to hear some ideas as I feel very alone with it all, despite supportive husband, and gave up work to home ed.
