[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 597000"] Oh honey, I know that feeling well. In all honesty, the only way I could cope was long showers,comfy clothes, easy to digest meals,( I lived on soup) a Tylenol pm, and playing scrabble on my phone until I finally fell asleep. I know it wasn't a healthy way to cope but I would literally be sitting at the dinner table w my family and feeling like I was going to jump out if my skin by 6:30 pm. When the plates were finally clear, I would leap up and take a shower and try to settle my racing mind before it kept me up all night. I wish I could speak to you but I am in the car on a road trip to grandmas with the kids. Please know I am thinking of you and holding your hand from afar. Try to do something that occupies your mind, it helps keep the panic at bay.Scrabble worked for me. Some of what you described could be a fight or flee response from difficult child. When my difficult child scared the heck out of us with his pacing, dilated pupils & a sense of "electricity" radiating from him - I was sure it was some scary drug. I've since learned it may have been an adrenalin accelerated - fight/flee response- tho I'll never know for sure. My difficult child was COMPLETELY out of options, not unlike your difficult child, just a thought. [/QUOTE]
