[QUOTE="Andy, post: 234755, member: 5096"] When difficult child was sliding downhill with his anxiety, he couldn't even take a quick trip to get the Lego set he had been wanting. Anxiety can cause agrophobic characteristics in people. Have you ever talked to her about how she feels when she leaves the house? When does the anxiety heighten? When does it lessen? I know how it is to not want to leave the house and then feel stronger once I am out and about. I knew for me that once I got in the vehicle and started driving, I would be able to face the day. Is there something that she is more fearful of? Does she do fine outside but fears traveling? Is she afraid of finding her way home? Maybe you can make a map for her showing school, grocery store, you work, boyfriend's work, ect. I was surprised when my difficult child mentioned the other day that he admired how I could find my way around town. He is 12 years old and still don't know the different ways to get from one place to another. I don't know! Just brainstorming! I know it will be hard to drop the play this close to show time. However, that is just that much longer away from you in a transition time of you not always being home. Maybe it truly is too much - she looks forward to being with you and then the play practice takes her away. Hang in there. Stay strong! difficult child will draw her strength from you and will pick up any doubt you may have. [/QUOTE]
