[QUOTE="Steely, post: 80819, member: 3301"] I understand! The drama! It is never ending! I do believe and know my difficult child has true anxiety about certain issues, but then he just takes it on a whirlwind tangent that usually, in his mind, leaves him ready to die. And this is not just physical maladies, he also convinces himself that he may die because his computer is not working properly, or because his dad did not call, or because it is too hot in the house! He just starts in with feeling the anxiety, and then chooses not to reign it in, but rather fuel it with more negative thoughts. The other night, 2 in the morning, he knocks on my door and blurts "It is an emergency mom, wake up!" Of course I am sure the house is on fire, or there is a burglar........but nope.........."Mom, the tivo box is not working properly!!!!" [img]:hammer:[/img] I was reprimanding him the next day, again, and he was like "But it [i]was[/i] an emergency!" And he was dead serious. I do believe in his mind these things are real to him, and he does not know how balance it in his mind, but the theatrical element is the part that wears me out. Perhaps it is also a Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) of some sort.......they feel pain on a deeper level, as well as emotions, feelings, and anxiety. But I also think that they know what buttons get a reaction from Mom. [/QUOTE]
