Hi. My son is 18 (just!) and only received his formal diagnosis last year. It has been a battle. We have no support from anyone. His school are trying their best to do what they can but he has been refused an EHCP and I am so worried about how he will get on in life. His A Levels are approaching and he is struggling to revise. He has meltdowns most days and can’t face the world. I don’t know what I am doing. Please can someone help? My mental health is non existent at the moment
Believe me, qualifications aren’t worth it if it is causing this sort of stress. I pushed through the stress and anxiety and now my mental health has suffered. I wish I hadn’t bothered because my anxiety is so bad now. I can’t even use the qualification that I struggled to achieve.
im sorry to hear that your mental Health is also suffering. Do you receive any help for it? It sounds like you both need some professional support.
