Anxiety dumps sometimes help me because they at least get all that stuff out of my head? That's why I write sometimes, to just get it all out of my head. Then I start getting an idea or two for one or another problem and once I start working on my ideas that makes me feel a bit better.

Have you asked your daughter why she doesn't go to certain classes? She might be having troubles in those classes like you're having in certain areas of your life and just doesn't know how to deal with it. I remember when I was taking geometry and I was out sick a day and got behind. Well, the teacher had a mean, progressive homework plan where you got 1 point off the first assignment you didn't do, 2 points off the next, 4 points off the 3rd, then 8 the fourth, etc. I was seriously lost so I couldn't do my homework. . . very demoralizing for even trying. She could be having some troubles like that, somebody said something to her in a class and she didn't/wasn't able to face it at the time and now it's just getting worse. Don't know what could be done, a tutor? My parents were asked to get me a French tutor and that turned out to be very helpful because it was an older, popular but very nice girl who made me feel good as well as helping me get my grades up. Was a good support.
