[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 259386"] we are in such a similiar place. difficult child has gone down hill very fast since December. That is when this "feeling unreal", confused,,,per psychiatrist and therapist, "derealization and depersonalization" set in. It has never gone away. He doesn't mention it every day, Rather we get his head hurts (daily) = brain tumor, stomach ache = stomach cancer, bones hurt = bone cancer...thinks about it to the point he IS sick. He does know he has a lot of people to call and we would be there in a minute if he needs. He knows he has tylenol #3 if his head gets so bad he can't move. Knowing that, it isn't taken often. But it is because he KNOWS it is there that he feels better. I can so relate to you and difficult child. I KNOW how much it hurts to see difficult child so scared. And like my difficult child too, he realizes it is anxiety, he talks outloud to try to rationalize, but the anxiety takes over and he panics. Does your difficult child look everything up on the computer? Power of suggestion work with him? It is so hard to even have a conversation because I am afraid I might say something that he will not ever forget. Even if it is about a story in the news, or someone at work. therapist is was trying deep breathing, relaxation techniques. Isn't working. therapist said he is so distraught, the anxiety must be under control before this works. HOW do I do this. If you have anything that works, anything that helps your difficult child feel better please let me know. [/QUOTE]
