Hi all, I suffer with social anxiety had it for most of my life, hasnt been easy, but doing pretty well up to now, even though the past 14 months have been a nightmare, to say the least, split with partner after 16 years, cus i had anxiety, didnt understand it ,at all, no support, long story...!!! Was in car crash, not my fault, was laid off work, last oct, oh yeah and ive had to move back home..Till get sorted, My ex is now engaged after 6 months, and expecting twins, and is now rubbing it in my face...!!! But you know what, im still here, (NOT gonna grind me down...)
I can cope with all that, just about, but wat im struggling with is my son who is 11, i have a daughter who is 8 also, she is very outgoing, my son is very sensitive, and the opposite, and lately he is worrying about everything, and i dont know why that is, hes been going through this worrying about dying phase, black death was mentioned at school history lesson, he thought had it, if he has a bruise on his leg, he'll worry about it, get himself into a right state, all the signs are are their for anxiety/panic etc.. I try and reassure him, that everything is ok, in kids terms, but it is not working... should i go and take him to see someone, before it gets out of hand, nip it in the bud etc...
If anyone can help, or relate to any of this, would be nice to hear from you... thanx... daz...
