My daughter has just been diagnosed and has not attended school full time for much of year 11 as the anxiety has been overwhelming for her. 4 weeks ago she took an overdose and has not been back in school since or managed to do any school work at home.
GCSEs are just a few weeks away. She has dropped most optional subjects leaving just the core subjects and one other.
We have met with school and she will be in a small room with 5 others and will be allowed up to 30 mins break outside of the room. We did think her own room would be best but she would prefer not to just be with the invigilator as she will feel they are watching her.
Has anyone been through GCSEs? Is this the best way forward? She is desperate to stay for sixth form at her current school, although we have no idea how she will cope with that but just want to make sure she has the best shot.
