hi everyone
ive been a member for few years now & suffered with anxiety for about 15 years but have it in control most of the time now...
the problem is my 9 year old son is getting more & more anxious & im scared as i dont want him to suffer & worry like i have.
ive talked to him & i think it stems from his fear of dying he constants checks his heart & overbreathes all the classic symptoms & i spot them straight away & try to help him through the situation.
he has phases of being ok & i think its gone away but then something triigers it off & hes back to being anxious!! its heartbreaking seeing him go through this at only 9 years old. i dont know what to do ive told my husband what he must do to help & hes been great. i dont want to take him down the gp route just yet as i dont want to scare him anymore than i have to.
as anyone else gone through this with there child? any help advice would be much appreciated.
