[quote=Anonymous]So, my kid isn't in college yet, but definitely has difficulty with anxiety. I have found the more I acknowledge her difficult and say that must be hard, but not try to solve her problem associated with her anxiety the better it goes for her. I think this works because it gives her a chance to vent, I don't have a way to solve it which when she is feeling bad might sound like a mountain to climb. When she is in a good place figure out with her what kind of activities are good activities for renewal. Drawing, playing music, working out at gym? Ask her if she has found any clubs at school that sound interesting and when does it meet next. See if she will put it on her calendar. Finally talking about things being exciting. I think the bodies reaction to anxieties- rapid heartbeat, etc are similar to bodies reactions to excitement so try to subtly get her to recognize that as excitement and something to look forward to rather than something to worry about.
