[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 558836"] Welcome to our little corner of the world. Sorry you had to find us but am so happy you did. My difficult child 1 has switched to online school. It meets his educational needs and without the after hours homework, he has more time to socialize in less demanding settings. Marg is right. Social anxiety (I learned myself the hard way) can be totally and completely debilitating. It is VERY hard to overcome and it is much easier, physically and mentally, to just avoid it. However, in the whole scheme of things, it is not the BEST thing. Most of our kids that suffer this just don't have the emotional energy to overcome it. What medication did they put her on? How long has she been on it? Do YOU think it's helping or is she not taking it? It might be that it's the wrong medication and/or the wrong dose. Once you find the right one(s), it will be easier to overcome the physical symptoms. For now, you might need to look at alternative educational options until the right medication/dosage is found. Just remember, it's not her fault she suffers from it OR that she isn't able to overcome it right now. She's doing the best she can at this particular time. I would definitely, however, put limits/consequences in place for the sleep issues. It might mean you and your wife staying up to enforce them but it will be better in the long run. Good luck.
