[quote=Anonymous]My daughter reports that she remembers having anxiety from about 1st grade onward. And it's true, that when we look back (she's a teenager now), the signs were there: endless hypothetical questions about fires, accidents, and other scary events, difficulty with change, and a pronounced need for control. My kiddo has had a fair amount of trauma (personal and medical) in her life, so that's a factor. When she is in an especially anxious period (like now), things in her daily environment can trigger a spiral into obsessive fear/worry. My husband often says that he wishes that we would have recognized these signs and sought out therapy when DD was younger, if only to address her resistance to therapy in MS. Personally, I think that therapy is probably going to be an ongoing part of DD's life--not continuously, but off and on.[/quote]
