Really listen to your therapist. They have loads of experience with these issues. I suffered with severe anxiety for 8 years and now, looking back, the best thing for me was to confront the problem and mix with people. Seclusion was bad for me. Just listen to your therapist and good luck..

Depends on the type of anxiety. I know of kids who were in school and suffering badly from the stress of it who ended up doing much better at home.

However, do be warned: many therapists don’t know diddly about homeschooling and won’t recommend it because they really are ignorant about it and think it’s a bad idea. You might have better luck contacting homeschooling groups in your area and finding out if any parents have dealt with kids who have anxiety and pulled them out of school to homeschool. They may be better able to convince your mom than the therapist.

Also, take this time before your appointment to find out ALL you can about homeschooling and the benefit of it, pass this information on to your mom.

My daughter has a severe anxiety disorder and due that we are homeschooling. She is an advanced student and does well with her studies, but the stress of school was disruptive to her mental state. Are you seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist for your condition? Have you been diagnosed? To what degree is your anxiety? If you have anxiety to the point of where you need to be homeschooled, then hopefully you will seek treatment with a psychiatrist (if you’ve not already). My child’s doctors (both psychiatrist and psychologist) agree that homeschooling is the better choice for my child with her current condition. Just tell the truth and let the professionals help you.

relies upon. To whom? There are actual families i understand that would not possibly like it or earnings from it. purely like some faculties might suck for particular human beings, on a similar time as others could like the very comparable college. that’s a lifestlye– that’s not one-sized suits all. i would not propose looking into homeschooling if: – a newborn is unquestionably chuffed at school and doing properly and that’s a effectual problem – if a relatives has 2 stressful working mothers and fathers who’re long gone all day long and the youngsters are youthful and insist lots of interest – the mothers and fathers do no longer possibly fee training, won’t set an excellent occasion; they hate to study, do unlike gaining expertise of, etc. – lazy mothers and fathers who’ve a tendency to furnish into temptation too lots to slack off, watch soaps or waste the day away on the internet, neglecting household initiatives – mothers and fathers and teenagers have a very stressful time getting alongside, there are skill struggles and blow-outs and too lots stress at the same time yet any relatives that gets alongside rather properly, the mothers and fathers are rather innovative and involved and inspired and functional, i might propose them looking into it. that’s a splendidly doable academic selection that families could provide attention to while looking into their recommendations.

Talk to her! Be blunt with her. Tell her that you really want to homeschool and that you think it would be beneficial for you and that your mom says that it is o.k. if she refers you to. Ask your therapist her opinion, what she sees the pros and cons are and really talk about it. Let her know all the reasons you really want to homeschool. o.k.

Severe anxiety about what? Many students opt for homeschooling because it seems to be easier than formal schooling. It would be easier to answer if we knew what was causing you all this anxiety.

i never had anxiety in school but i did have learning disabilities (adhd i think). i never actually got tested but i know i have it. anyways there are online classes and such that you can take instead of school.
