[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 611847, member: 1550"] Well, it's early, and I didn't have coffee yet (always a bad thing...lol), but I did want to respond here because weekends can be slow and also because I swear I was born with panic/anxiety/depression/some genetic mental illness too. So I understand where you're coming from when you talk about panic attacks. They are pretty scary, aren't they? Come out of nowhere and, at least in my case, started to cause agoraphobia. Before you can help your daughter, you really need to make sure YOU are in a good place too. You matter A LOT and hopefully you are getting help. The better you feel, the easier it will be for you to deal with the stuff going on in your life. Do you take medication or have any coping skills that help you when you are stressed? Secondly, about your little girl. Can you give us a background on her? Did she have a lot of chaos and caregiver changes from infancy-five? Did she witness or was she a part of any abuse by maybe bio. father? Also how is bio. dad's psychiatric profile? She may not know him, but his DNA lives within her so if he has, say, bipolar, she could also have a predisposition to that even though he's not in her life. Did you have a normal pregnancy and delivery? Any delays on her part, verbal or motor skills? Any strange quirks? Is she very friendly toward non-family members yet does not like to be held by you or others close to her? Is he nice to animals? Any fascination with fire? How are her potty habits? Ok, need that coffee now. I am very sorry you are going through this with your child. I am wondering if she has ever had a complete evaluation done by perhaps a neuropsychologist? [/QUOTE]
