[QUOTE="Andy, post: 259741, member: 5096"] Thank you Timer! difficult child has breathing and imagery. He can also focus on doing something, anything. I remind him that he has felt like this before and that he knows nothing is wrong. He answers, "That's just it, I don't know - things can change." I do appear very short with him at times with my "You know what to do, do it" attitude. But like you said, if you spend too much time on it, it just builds into the anxiety. The longer I try to reassure him, the stronger his anxiety gets so I have to just appear to be stern and throw it back at him. "This is your issue, you know what to do, do it!" He has to take the responsibility of getting rid of it, no matter how much he wants me to take it from him. I am sure it gets wearing on him to have the constant battle going on. Now there is a chance of more flooding in Fargo later this month. I am so afraid of what will happen if his April 16th psychiatrist appointment gets postponed. He is going to have to go back on full time medications for awhile by the time we get seen. As much as he hates having to feel like this during school, it is better to have him there with all its distractions than at home with more time to dwell on it. I have been trying to get him to take showers but he will not take anymore than necessary (if even that - but then he is only 12, it will come). He says water it too hard on his skin - doesn't like how it shrivels up when wet. We are also working on increasing his water intake. I told him drinking water or juice is also calming. I have a 3 month pass to the YMCA that I will cash in for difficult child this Summer. I am hoping that time there with a friend will help. Diva will be watching his friend A this summer and I will offer her a few dollars an hour to watch difficult child also. The two boys are very good friends and will keep busy this summer. I wish a go cart/mini golf would open in town. I will work up a schedule with Diva to keep the boys active in lots of different things. They will have baseball and bowling. [/QUOTE]
