School & being away from the home.

good luck with going to school day! I know your terrified out of your mind! I left school at 16/17 for two months, but I was glad I went back went even though I didn't like it.
PM if you ever want a chat :-)

My mum's forcing me to go in so that I don't end up agoraphobic but that is what I am happy with. I am happy with my comfort zone and I don't ever plan on leaving it. I don't even want to go to the doctor (whom I'm seeing tonight). I just want to stay in my comfort zone. Thanks for the luck. x

Love, love. x

Could you perhaps do a few hours at school each day and biuld it up when you feel more comfortable? Is this a new school you are attending?

[Anxious_gal]

why don't you want to get better?

[Sterling]

It's not a new school, no. I asked if I could only go in on certain days at first and then build it up gradually like that but my mum refused. I got taken out of school early yesterday and early today because I feel that it's all too much at once.

I want to be better but I don't want to go to school.

Love, love. x

Hypothetical question for you.
Lets' say that your parents agree that you cannot cope with full time school but let's also say that home schooling is not a viable option.
Would would you say is a fair compromise, one that you would adhere to?

Thursdays at first, and then Thursdays and Mondays, and then Thursdays, Mondays & Fridays, and then Thursdays, Mondays, Fridays and then either Wednesdays or Tuesdays added depending on the week. Miss first and maybe fifth period of every day and only go in 4 days a week instead of 5 days.

Ihonestly think that would be a good plan of action ,Too much too soon has a detrimental affect when trying to cope with anxiety .Small steps produce big results ..I hope a compromise can be agreed on Good luck Sue x

sometimes it is hard as a teenager to comunicate how we feel to our parents i know from personal experience we never talked we just argued. one day i handed my mum my diary and said read it and she cried because she then understood there was more going on in my head than just being a teenager rebelling. maybe showing them this website may help them to see how scared you actually are and then hopefully they will be with you on reaching a compromise you and them feel comfortable with? xx
