[QUOTE="Andy, post: 262848, member: 5096"] Kjs - Are you getting weiry of this battle? I sure am and I have a feeling that my difficult child's struggles are not nearly as deep as your difficult child's. I got the pleasure of sitting through Easter service with a despaired difficult child next to me. We made it through breakfast (throwing up and all) then sat in church with him repeating, "I am afraid to close my eyes." "Well then close them and get it over with!" I am just sick of this. I don't need to spend Easter with my 12 year old son lamenting about how he is dying because his head feels weird. "I am going to die!" "Yes you are, everyone is and now would be a good time!" "Why?" "Because we are in church!" Guess I am so sick of dealing with this that I am pushing him to face it head on and deal with it. Complaining is making things worse. So, we get home and I give him two ice cream buckets to put his Kinnex in. When husband came home he said he was debating going to anti-social sister in law's home. I told him "She has chosen to live alone - she hates people - you do not need to go over and entertain her and do her work." I suggested he do something outside with difficult child like clean the garage. "difficult child thinks he is dying again, we may as well get as much work out of his as we can before he does die." Can you tell I am not handling this anxiety at all this weekend? I totally get your frustrations. difficult child just came in and asked, "Mom, honestly, do you think something is wrong with me?" "Yes, of course there is. There has to be because you can not live like this. It is anxiety! The docs say this is how anxiety works. You have to stop focusing on it. You are looking for ways to make it worse." He just walked away! :whiteflag: I give up! [/QUOTE]
