[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 182772, member: 3444"] I think the difference between the two (anxiety and worry) is just a matter of degrees. My oldest and youngest share your difficult child's habit of digging in and not wanting to do something or go somewhere that's unfamiliar. That fear of the unknown, I guess. And yes, they usually have a great time once they try it. When that fear gets in the way of daily functioning, that you can't talk them through, then it needs to be addressed in my opinion. Also, when you have this chronic low level of fear that's not pinned on anything specific, I think over time it can leave you more vulnerable to stress. husband was very much like this pre-medications. It would get expressed through irritability and explosive anger especially when he had a lot of stress in his life. It also fed his compulsive behavior which became an outlet for dealing with these unspoken feelings. Perhaps this merits a conversation with the psychiatrist? [/QUOTE]
