HI

Just looking for some advice really...
my 14 yrs old son has been off school since April and he has never left home since then. He is always on his phone and Xbox and since last year when he had a fainting episode, he is scared of going out and he feels not well every time he leaves home. I have put together support from school, counselling, NHS but nothing seems working. I separated from my husband as well so everything is on me and I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Is there anyone who experienced the same and maybe give me a positive feedback? Thanks

Absolutely been here still so upsetting to talk about.

Join the not fine in school facebook group loads of support and experience.

Also parenting mental health :both groups have been invaluable for support.

Have you considered removing the xbox and/or turning off the Internet?
