Anxiety-Discovery health channel Sunday 9pm
 
I just saw a preview for program on Anxiety, Sunday May 2 9pm.

It peeked my interest.
Living with anxiety, controling, or coping with the triggers I hope they discuss. I feel so helpless sometimes for the youngest. She has such a heavy heart and worries. I have to hide my own fretting not to upset her.

Well have to hope for a repeat, The Appentice was on and forgot to record.

DD has an IEP to help with the next school year. Somehow I think they forgot she had needs to be met this year....Most of it was adjusted with a few calls and emails, followed by the previous IEP..But 3-4 hrs to go through this again this week, I hope she is okay during it.

Thanks for this heads up. I am a regular to these boards. I have a six-
year old who is struggling with anxiety that is huge. The anxiety forum
doesnt get much traffic so its not of much help. My son and I are currently
seeing a psychologist once a week together. I am starting to see him
next week additionaly on my own. I just want to do the right things so
my son can walk around without all his burdens, KWIM?

If anyone knows of another board that might be helpful in dealing with
this...could you let me know.

Anyway, Thanks for this.

a lot of us here (perhaps even most of us) deal with anxiety in one or more forms: chronic generalized anxiety, acute anxiety attacks, panic attacks, social anxiety... i don't know if it anxiety tends to come with the bipolar territory or what! :o

anyway, you are absolutely welcome to post here about your concerns - we may be able to help, we will try anyway. certainly, will be able to relate. :)

:welcome_sign:

so post your sox off! ;) :p

We are all here for each other for support. There are many different diagx here, or we are here for family members,
Welcome and you have a supportive home here, :Wave-Hello::circlelove:

My oldest dd health problems, how I needed support, and my own anxiety/panic that I made my friends here.

My younger dd was about 5 when she started with panic attacks at bed time, much as I did about the time my grandpop passed away. With youngest dd my dad lived with us as he battled cancer and she was pre school about 4 1/2 when he passed away, Dad lived next to us, and with us, his passing was the trigger.
Then she had problems in school bullying, nonsupport from the school system. At the Christmas break during 6th grade she became school phobic,

They home bound 5 hrs the rest of that year and then I enrolled her in cyber school to reduce the stress.
She has full blown panic attacks just lunging out of the dentist chair when he was just looking at a baby tooth hanging.

Finally I got her to go to the eye doctor, a really bad astigmatism and eye site, she was like a deer in head lights. The doc was great showing and explaining demostrating every single move he made.

She needs boosters, and dental work....we are on her schedule. Just like the eye exam.
Her new IEP is Thurs, I do not know how much to share, she had one before and felt like we were saying she was not normal....Huge melt down the last IEP.
Oh, I got so long, but there are many mom's that will find us here and many places on the forum.
The spiritual support forum always has hugs and prayers to go around too,

And here, even when there are no answers, there is a ton of love to run in your tank!

Dear Di,

You have soo much going on! :hug: :hug: :hug:

And those IEPs can be tense even in decent circumstances.

Thanks for all the kind words Di. Im sorry your dd struggles so much.
Big hugs to the both of you.

I know it is hard for me to watch my little one so fearful of everything.
Its like in the old Charlie Brown comics....when he is sitting at Lucy's
Psychiatric Booth and she says "I got it ...You are afraid of everything!!!"
Well, thats my son.:( He is afraid(terrified) of masks, costumes, mechanical
beings. He doesnt want to go to school, doctors, dentist. He wont
go in the bathroom by himself, his room by himself, and to bed by himself.
He is afraid(very) of rain/thunderstorms, strangers, puppet shows(big fear),.

Phew! I just want to do all I can and make no mistakes that could make
it all worse.

We have baseball tonight. He loves it and is really good. But sometimes
his anxiety wont let him join in. Im hoping he will play.

I see the psychologist next week by myself. I have some anxiety myself
and the situation with him is really difficult for me. Hopefully it will help
if I see someone too.:)

Thanks again for you kind welcome Waves and Di.:hug:

Soxmom and Di
 
Dear Soxmom,

wow. i really feel for your kid. i can't imagine living in fear of so many things. :( i hope the psychologist next week can give you some ideas on how to help him. has he always been this anxious/phobic, or do you think there was something that set him off? sending warm thoughts for his baseball tonight. i hope he makes it to play. i hope the psychologist iis helpful to you next week. let us know how that goes, too. :hug:

Dear Di,

sending you good thoughts also for the IEP meeting tomorrow. i hope your daughter takes it ok. i wonder if if it would be helpful to talk with her beforehand about the reason for it and that it is to help her, not to demean her. it sounds like last time she felt it was demeaning or something? :hug:
