[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 254492, member: 1550"] Hi, Andy. Well, he made it. He sounds a lot like me when I was his age. I had so much anxiety. Just being in a strange place scared me. I would have all sorts of somatic symptoms like headaches, blurred vision, nausea, and I'd think I felt like I was going crazy. It was so bad at school that I used to have panic attacks and scream while getting up and running out of the room. The kids called me "mental." There was no medications or help back then and the kids teased me. I was a horrible hypochondriac. I'm thinking that the lights, if they were "strange" made him feel a little dizzy or a little spooked out. I still don't like fluorescent lights. I don't scream now, of course, but I'm also on medications and have learned how to slow down my body when I'm in "fight or flight" mode. I'm glad that, in spite of it all, he bowled well. in my opinion, this is a child who does need medication. I'm not sure SSRI's are the ticket, but I do think he'd do better on something. Another thing that can help is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but he may not be old enough to really understand it. [/QUOTE]
