[quote=Anonymous]Wow, I'm amazed at how unsympathetic some posters are. This is not an easy situation for the parent or the child. OP, is it possible that she had a panic attack? I used to have them occasionally when I was a teenager, and they are pretty overwhelming. They can produce the feeling that you must get out of whatever situation you are, no matter what. Nothing matters other than escaping, and it doesn't matter where you go. Have her read some first personal accounts of panic attacks and see if they sound familiar to her. I agree with the PP who suggested working with her to develop strategies and safe places, as well as anxiety reduction techniques. She needs help, not punishment. [/quote]
