[quote=Anonymous]OP here again. Have read all the thoughtful responses. Thank you.

The social anxiety worries me. Quitting the team was related in large part to social dynamics. She never felt like she belonged so basically just had enough. That's fine. I get it. I did tell her she had to do something else -- play the same sport at a rec level, try a different team sport or individual sport. But she is resisting those things.

To the person who raised the flags about the drugs - I share your concern. I'm not eager to medicate her, either. I just want a professional evaluation from someone who can tell me "yeah, there's a problem here" or "don't worry -- all of this is very normal.!"

And, we're looking for another school. But that's kind of tricky since school size contributes to her issues, and smaller options are very expensive and, frankly, out of reach financially without some dramatic change in our lifestyle. I'm willing to make those dramatic changes, but we cannot snap our fingers and make it happen overnight since it would involve selling the house and moving somewhere cheaper.[/quote]
