Have c and p'd from the children with special needs/dissabilities forum -



I would like to start up a support group for those of us with children that have anxiety. I think it is really important that we can support each other, as I really dont have anyone IRL I can talk too, and when I mention that DD has anxeity to others, they react in a way that is saying anxiety is really nothing and just something she will grow out of!

I think alot of people just dont realise or even understand that anxiety affects your whole life and it really is something serious and takes alot of work.

If there are enough takers, I will check with the mod of this forum and see wether it is something we can do, and if it should go here or in the Depression/Mental Illness forum.

Thanks

Laura


Thought I would post this here as well.

My 6 yr old DD Abbey has been diagnosed with severe anxiety, DAMP ( deficits in attention, motor skills and percetion ).

Her anxiety is very severe, resulting in her life being full of stresses and worries. I do beleive that there is more going on but I need to wait it out a bit longer and see if other symptoms come to the surface.

However the anxiety is very real and it pains me to see her so anxious and scared all of the tme

Are there any other parents here that would like to participate in a support group for our children?

We're on a good slide at the moment.

Hope it lasts
