Help, I need some urgent advice.
I have been dealing with panic and anxiety for over 6 years now - they started not long after my daughter was born. I do try to lead a 'normal' life. I still work, run the kids around, shopping etc (although it is hell at times). I have good days and bad.
The problem is that if I have a choice on doing something or not, I will almost always try and get out of it. If I have to do something, then I do it, although I get the panicky and anxiety feelings and dont feel better till I get back home.
Well now my daughter is getting like this. She has always been a bit 'clingy', but recently she has been getting slightly worse (or am I looking too deeply at myself and thinking the worse). To cut a long story short, she has been invited to a couple of birthday parties. She says she doesnt want to go to them. When I asked her why, she said she just doesnt want to. When I drop her off at school, she waits with me and doesnt interact with any of her friends. She has also been sick at school quite a few times in the last couple of weeks. I have asked her if there are any problems at school, but she says no. I have spoken to her teacher who says that she fine in school and even helps the other kids with their work if she has finished hers.
She goes to dancing lessons etc, and every single time she has to go, she always creates and says she doesnt want to go. When I pick her up, she says she has had a great time, but then the next week it starts all over again.
Am I looking too deeply at this, or is she picking up my habits? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated as dont want her to go through what I am going through.
Thanks for reading.
