[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been dealing with a HS student with anxiety and depression and I feel so isolated. Agreed on the hard to make small talk because discussing where you are going on vacay this summer seems soooo trivial when I am thinking about the fact that my child may be so anxious he won’t go to school in August. Am I doing everything to help him? It is just exhausting. [/quote] That is a big flashing sign that you need distractions and small talk — and probably therapy for yourself. Perserverating on what if’s isn’t helping. I’ve been there. It is hard. I find it helps to imagine the worst thing that could happen and make a planfor why you will do if it does. Write it down. And if your mind goes there again review your plan, add to it or amend. Then put it aside. And do something for yourself — a long, brisk walk — ideally in a woody spot can do wonders. [/quote]
