[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 560670, member: 8831"] i wouldnt necessarily assume that just because it happens on school days and not weekends that it means anxiety. mine had some similar symptoms (not a stomach ache, but more in her throat, and she threw up almost every morning) and it turned out to be massive allergies. but we battled the anxiety issue for too long with professionals because "it only happened on school days". the difference was that school days start very early, pills have to be taken very early, breakfast happens very early, etc. on a weekend she could "wait it out". she didnt have to do all that at the crack of dawn, and once she was upright things drained out of her throat so as long as she waited, she was ok. she listened to her own body. i never once doubted she had a physical problem and not a psychological one (well, she has those too--it just wasnt THIS one!)....and frankly, its a terrible feeling to have someone not believe you. i'd personally rule out every single medical reason i could before assuming it was anxiety, unless you have some real reason to believe thats all it is. even then, ruling stuff out can go a long way to HER understanding of her own anxiety symptoms. it cant hurt to have a checkup to even ease her mind.
