[QUOTE="Jena, post: 403982, member: 4514"] sooo much great information. wow im slowly reading thru it all. so much to answer and think about lol good keeps me from losing it :) Klmno hey how are you? i can see your point, yet as Midwest mom put it and perfectly that the throat muscle tightens during an anxiety attack and/or panic attack. which is exactly what's been going on. most of the kids that have had the food phobia have had it due to choking incident. as with her its' just her underlying anxiety that has caused this due to the remarriage and also the transition into middle school. two huge changes in her mind at ONE time. it is big for a kid like her. i dont think she's thinking rationally or able to as with most kids with an eating disorder. its' illogical thoughts, fears, etc. that get them to this point. she also as i've stated from removing myself from home and just really sitting back and observing her quietly is a def. mix of so many things as i stated before. for any child to stop giving their body what it needs yes there are some true pyschological issues there. this is such a huge issue larger than anything else we've ever tackled yet to be honest one that feels to me like even though this may come back it's one that is readily solved by simple ingesting food. whereas all the other issues she struggles with are not easily solved by medications, therapy etc. yet as we all know how do i get her to want to continue eating, keep that anxiety down witha child who is even too stubborn to be hypmotized by a guy who is said to be the best in what he does. she does not use her coping skills. it's like this fine line i will walk with her when home ithink. i dont want to yet i think i have to. when to push, when to pull sort of thing. if i push too hard she'll choke up again no food in. if i dont' push hard enough she wont' grow from this and within it and learn how to handle herself. it's a huge job. as many of us know with our kids the things we've survived. DDD thanks :) just some sunshine from you i needed that. greatly appreciated. im running on empty today for sure. we're at our 3 week mark and someone said home to me i'm like a kid with a cookie being dangled right now lol. ill tell you though this experience has taught me some control over my own mind that is often hard back home with my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). confuzzled ok had to read yours again was a bit all over. she is in the theraputic piece now. she was in hospital for two weeks due to damage she did to her body. how can i explain what i dont' get? lol. children with food phobia that have left this clinic apparently from what they've told me and shown me have zero relapse and go on to be just fine. yet as i had mentioned earlier they've never had a multi layered child like mine. they dont' claim to be able to fix all the kids problems just get them eating again. which is what they do. that's why no pyschiatrist on board. i can see their point. in all honesty i've never met a pysch doctor i've truly liked. they complicate matters sometimes. they i believe view this as what it is a medical condition food phobia highly curable. i was shocked when they told me kids eat three meals and fly home. truly shocked. yet these arent' kids with long standing anxiety Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) bipolar disorders. maybe having difficult child here has helped them get it. as far as the insurance goes. they have to check in with the insurance weekly. their job with difficult child was to get her to eat they did that. yet they did take a step back as soon as they saw her not eat fully with me and have a bad eating day with them today. right away they met with me and said dependant upon the weekend eating it will be up to your discretion whether or not you think you are comfortable to take her home. they actually said we've gotten to know you and you are very insightful about her and what's going on, you do know her best. i laughed and said umm i am not insightful about her thats why i flew across the country to you guys i think that other kids and they said they had a few that needed extra support after the food phobia bucked and didnt' eat the food. whereas my kid went in and ate with them without a problem.
