School Today

My daughter (I will call her Tiikeri) made it to school today.  Normal for most of her friends, more like walking through a dark forest for her.  She went there on the bus, all four classes and lunch and back on the bus for the first time in 2 months.   Her friends came over in the morning to help motivate her to come.  She had what she calls an episode where the voice or "person" in her head tried to take over her and she could not move.  It's hard to see this happen to your child and not know how to get them out of the world their mind is creating back to the one before. We are still trying to figure out exactly what is going on with Tiikeri.  I know she has Anxiety Disorder with Depression, and Conversion disorder.  And now we are trying to figure out if there is anything more that can explain and help her get back to regular life. 

Tiikeri is 15 years old and in High School.  She has a younger sister Flutura and brother Draenog.  In addition to the stress Tiikeri's mental health I am recently divorced.  We are in the same place as before with many of the same friends but I feel like I am living someone else's life.
