[QUOTE="Janna, post: 26576, member: 2737"] I really don't know much about anxiety. BUT, your difficult child sounds alot like my son, Dylan. He did the exact same things your child did. I call it manipulation. "I don't want toooooooooooooooooooooo" - screams, fits, rages, cries, bunch of bs, then, when you finally give up and say fine, he says "I want to" [img]:grrr:[/img] He did this with everything from getting up in the AM to brushing teeth. The thing with Dylan was, once you set the consequence and said "Okay, you lose xyz for not doing it", he'd run and do it. I made him lose the consequence anyway for the grief. The rages, yes, dealt with those too. That was our lovely gift from the Bipolar Disorder illness. Luckily, medications have taken care of that. I have no real advice, but I would strongly urge you to see a board certified MD PSYCHIATRIST. Not counselor. Not social worker. Not psychologist. Sending hugs. I have truly been right where you are, and was stuck there a long time. Janna [/QUOTE]
