[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 256485, member: 1550"] Andy, your son is a great kid. He is NOT crazy. He is nervous. Nervous means he worries about his health, has panic attacks, probably ruminates over dumb things (I do that) and freaks out sometimes due to anxiety. He is a normal kid who is on "fight and flight" all the time. I have a really good book for you to read. Maybe you can help your boy learn to calm himself. The book really helped me. I hope I have the right authors. It's an older book, but I think it is still the best panic book I ever read. It's called "Don't Panic" by Wilson and Reid. I don't know their first names anymore. I would see if Amazon has it. It has really cool explanations of panic attacks--dissects them--and tells you how you can stop a panic attack in it's tracks. As a nervous ninny, it really did a lot of good for me. Your child is going to have a good life. They knew NOTHING about what I was going through way back in the dinosaur days ;), but they do understand now. And it sounds like your precious boy will be getting the best of help. So smile. He's going to be ok and one day he'll look back on this, as I do, and say, "Boy, was I nervous! I hope I can help somebody not go through what I did!" (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
