[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 375383, member: 7083"] My difficult child needs to talk, however when she's gone from anxiety to panic there is no rational thought. I can bring her back to reality by rubbing her back. I generally don't talk to her while I'm doing this until she's started to come back to earth. She pulls all nighters most of the school year, as school is her biggest trigger. We've also been doing this for the past week or so because school starts tomorrow. She does need to learn how to cope with this on her own, however she's not going to be able to just teach herself the skills - especially not with the anxiety so high. When the anxiety is that high consistently, I've found it's impossible for difficult child to learn coping skills. You have to get the anxiety down first to a level she can cope with and then start teaching skills. Is your difficult child in therapy? [/QUOTE]
