Getting her there is an ordeal, Monday morning she had a panic attack in the car, wouldn't get out, etc.etc...ended up scratching her arm with her nail, enough to draw blood, in total frustration..
Finally took her home, where her Dad would be in an hour...texted her and asked if she would go after lunch and she said she would, so that was good..
She went to all classes yesterday, but cried all last night, couldn't do her homework, wants to drop down in applied for her geography and math class...IF I thought this would help, I would JUMP on it, but truly think it's just her way of blaming everything on school..
Truly what are we to do, this is a smart kid who LOVED school, not doing this to be defiant, but has such a deep fear of going into school that she shuts down...we have extensively questioned her about this. no clear answers..
She often says she would rather be dead then go to school and sometimes asks me to admit her to the hospital...before anyone says good idea, lol...our hospital DOESN't yet have a inpatient child psychiatric unit..so unless she is in immediate danger to herself they will NOT admit her and she would be in an adult ward, which they don't want...or on the kids floor with regular nurses, no psychiatric training...
Last night she cried about having no close friend..she has met a few new kids but they all have a "best" friend which she desperately wants....but cannot find, then she cried about her best friend who moved away 2.5 years ago....truly traumatic situation for her, she was left alone...
