My son, who is 12 y.o. is starting to develop some classic anxiety symptoms- obsessive thoughts, upset stomach, and what appeared to be a classic panic attack that responded to a small dose of my xanax. I've been posting on PB2000, but thought I would throw this out here. I guess this was my worst nighmare, my genes coming through (although bipolar symptoms would be worse). I did start him with a child psychologist (he had his first session Saturday), but all I do is vascillate between guilt, wondering what else I can do, and honestly feeling my own health isn't important right now. Which I realize is stupid because my family falls apart when I'm sick. What am I missing here? Is there more I can do? I can't stop thinking about him, and I feel I'm not giving enough attention to my little girl either. Not doing to well here.
thanks, judy
