Coping with the pressure

Post by Nervous Mother »

Hi everyone,
Congratulations to all of you who have successfully made it through the appeal and good luck to those still waiting. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm an absolute wreck. Our daughters appeal is next Thursday and I just can't seem to think about anything else. Every time someone posts a result about their child I cry. I've had many great discussions with friends about how my daughter will do great no matter where she goes, but I can't seem to completely talk myself into it. This seems like a never ending nightmare which is effecting me 24hrs a day. I thought after I graduated from University my school issues would be easy. I can not believe how wrong I was.

To those who aren't getting any sleep, you're not alone.

Dear NM
You are not alone I am the same. I am eating, sleeping,waking 11+ appeals. It is drivng me mad,It is constantly on my mind. Thinking what more do I need evidence wise etc etc. I cant wait till 22 Jan + few extra days for the result of appeal for it to be over with. And when it is, what ever the result, I am going to pour myself one HUGE glass of whatever is available. I suggest you do the same.
Good luck with your appeal, fingers crossed for you. Keep us posted on how it went.
Best wishes
DP
