[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 358186, member: 6546"] Heather-- First gentle ((((hugs))))... Second, I think the key here is that YOU really have done all that YOU can. I get the feeling from reading your posts that your daughter is a bit like a toddler who is old enough to walk, but prefers to be carried. Ever seen that? They will sit on the floor and scoot a bit...and then cry for Mom or Dad to pick them up. It seems that your daughter is doing the same thing. She makes a very tiny effort--and then wants YOU to take over everything for her. At the end of the day, your daughter is the one who is going to have the most power to help herself....but she has to be really serious about doing the work to get well--not just say the words. There are many methods for over-coming panic attacks. I had the most AWFUL panic attacks and IBS symptoms for years. I finally got over it...and while some medications did help....medicine was not the bulk of the "cure". But it was something I had to do for myself--nobody else could have done it for me...no matter how much they may have wanted to help. I hope your difficult child gets to a point where she really wants to help herself. Then she can decide whether a special diet or new medication or new lifestyle is worth it if it relieves her pain and anxiety. [/QUOTE]
