Leaving Cert outside School

    Hi, I'm in real need of some help,
    I'm 18 and I stopped going to school during 5th year because of bullying but I really want to do my leaving cert.
    I moved schools after Transition year since the teachers did nothing to help after I told them. School has always been a nightmare for me, but I stuck to it because I really wanted to go to College and get my dream job. After an incident in my second school, I just stopped going because my panic attacks had gotten severe. (I've managed to contain them so I don’t get them as much) I adore learning new things; I was the person that was first in class with my copies and pencils all lined up. I've been told that I'm a fast learner and I have gotten good grades ever since I started secondary school. I even annoyed some of my teachers in my old schools with how enthusiastic I was at various subjects.
    I really want to do my Leaving cert so I can get into college, but the thought of going back to school terrifies me.
    I really want to know if there’s any way I could do my leaving cert without attending school.
    If I have to I’ll try going back to school but I'm petrified that the bullying is going to happen again, or I’ll get a panic attack over nothing.
    ( If you know any good schools in Galway that has a great no-tolerance to bullying and a friendly atmosphere please tell me. )

    Thank you
