My teenage child has very high levels of Anxiety , especially the fear of being sick. I myself have Anxiety, mostly related to the fear of being ill.
It got so bad with panic attacks that my child was off school for about the last 2 months of the term. Tjhere is no way I can currently see him going back full time if at all.
We have been trying to get help from 2 NHS run groups, but the waiting lists are ridiculous. We cant really afford private, tho if somebody recommended a local one , and it was reasonable , then I would go for it. (we are in Redditch, Worcs)
The really hard part is my childs relucatance to accept any help either, either from me , or now from a counsellor via the School.
I just dont know where to turn right now. It makes it worse for me watching, as I have lived with this for the last 20 years.
Any help gratefully received.
