Hi everyone, My daughter suffers with anxioty and depression. Although she seems to be feeling better and says sher has been having more good days than bad, to be honest I don't know. School is a big trigger. My issue is this, no matter what time I get her up, she is never on time for school. She is on an IEP with her first class being one that is a small class that is more like a studdy hall with teachers there to make sure she is prepared for each class to lessen any anxioty she may get for not being prepared. She is never on time for it. If I bug her as she calls it, it is a blow up crying fit and we are even later. I try to not set her off but her being late everyday is making me anxous. We are not talking 5-10 min, no we are talking an hour or more. She will just sit there and slowly get ready, take a really long time to eat breakfast or just sit there on her phone. Alot of times this also m akes me late for work too and I am getting in trouble and I already used up my FMLA to be home with her when she got out of the hospital. When I give her time reminders she gets mad, when I ask her to hurry up a bit she blows me off. I do not want to fight everyday but I have been to sooo many meetings and so many people worked really hard to get this help for her. She has a very high iq so proving to the school board and supertendants office that she did need help was not eassy. Anyone have any ideas on how to get her there on time? I would resort to changing all the clocks if the cable box and cell phones did not set themselves. I know school is hard for her and I comend her for fighting through to even go, but It would be fantastic if she would make it to this class we all fought so hard for and she said she would go to. So frustrated. Anyone have any suggestions? She really does not seem to care at all that she is blowing off the first part of school. Like completly indifferent. I need help. She will end up redoing Freshman year and I'm going to loose my job.
