Hi Lenny80, How are things going? I am still waiting on my sons school to arrange/enrol my son into open access college, but i have found out about another option you may be interested in. Its called The Inventorium, online schooling open to studens around Australia, just thought I'd let you know incase you are still searching for a way to help you son. 💙

Open college may be a SA thing? I too am going to google the places you have suggested & see if SA offers them. Its such a hard decision, I just want what is best for my son, as I am sure you do.

Hi Lenny80 :) I know how you feel, it's so hard, I'm having the same issue with my 16yr old son. Please know you're not alone! I'm looking into open access schooling, but it's not cheap. I also worry if my son does online schooling then he may feel this is an easy way out & he doesn't need to worry about/work on his social anxiety, which wont help in the future with employment etc. (it's a bit of a double edged sword). Good luck & please let us know how you go & if you find an option for his education, I'd really love to know, as you may think of something I haven't. Sending you & your son love & strength as you work through these hard times 🙏❤

Thanks Hannah-RO He is my everything & will do anything to help him. ❤ He is happy/willing to start on them, so that's s good start. The GP said it will take 2-4 weeks to kick in & begin making a difference. The pharmacist told me what signs to look out for & I have discussed this with my son. I have also given him phone numbers to call if there is a problem when Im at work. I will check out parentline, THANKYOU. I'm no good to my son if I'm a mess & don't look after myself too. No worries about the edit, sorry for missing that in the guidelines.

Hi all, 1st time poster here. My almost 16 yr old son is starting medication for his anxiety today, & im a bit worried about the side effects. Has anyone had experience with this anxiety medication? My son started showing signs of anxiety about 2 years ago, but with the help of a psychologist he managed to get back to school & things settled... until covid hit & he had to stay home for a few weeks. He then went back to school, but it was hard to get him there. Last term I couldnt get him there at all. He would did his work online no problem & would email teachers for more when required. He says there are no issues with bullying etc. He used to enjoy seeing his friends, but now he just wants to stay home. He feels sick just thinking about going back to school in a couple of weeks. He has been speaking to his psychologist & GP via phone because he doesn't want to go to the appointments in person. Things have gotten worse hence the medication. Id love some support & reassurance as i feel like im going through this alone & have noone I can really talk to. Thank you & have a good day. x
