  • Hi Amy

    thank you for taking time to reply it really helps to hear from someone dealing with the issues as well as other parents and carers .....my daughter was going to collage before her mental health issues took over and then she was just going to do a little part time job for a while and perhaps go to collage this year but none of this achieveable at the moment just functioning each day is enough as going out for a walk and being out in public wears her out due to anxietites .....but thank you the specialist collage idea sounds good and i will pass that on to her ....... her care team have said about doing a prices trust course and keeping busy but she said the same as you it can all be a bit much too soon

    I can see why you have dropped 2 of your As courses as it would appear you have enough to cope with being a carer and trying to support yourself ...I wish you well and hope things get better for you soon ....kep going you sound like a very strong young woman so im sure you will get there in the end as will my daughter

    thank you agian for your help and the info i appriciate it
