anxiety

[Guest guest]

Thank you Tracey, you have really given me some food for thought. I have played the trauma card, i.e. living with a disabled sibling is traumatic enough, really don't want to have to uproot her from a school she is very settled in and cause more trauma and anxiety in her little life.

Your idea about listing the added costs to the council is a good one. Will get on to that today.

Thanks once again

Hi Esme

There are two things I really like... One is quiet life herbal tablets which were brilliant when I had so much nervous anxiety, and the second is rescue remedy. They can both be taken at the same time and neither is habit forming.

When we focus on all the things that are making us anxious it makes the anxiety multiply. I find that the starting point is to consider what you actually need

To have your child at school close to home

Look at all the additional things that the Council will have to provide for you in order for it to be possible for your daughter to go to the other school. List them all and work out the costs.

Private taxi to the school and in view of her age clearly it would not be safe unless there were two adults in the car.

Private taxi for your parents in the event of her having to be collected from school early.

Etc

The alternative to taking up the place is to keep her out of school. Clearly with your other daughter and her requirements, you would not be able to home school her, so the only solution would be for the council to provide a one to one tutor at home.

I think it is very important to focus on the specifics of your family dynamics because of the special needs of your other child. The fact that because of the challenges your ASD daughter faces and her numerous visits to therapists etc, it is important for your younger daughter to have some stability and consistency and the ability to meet a peer group with whom she can socialise. With the problems with your ASD child, it is very unlikely that you would be able to let your little child have tea around the peer group so far from home, and this disadvantages her relative to her peer group. The decision the LEA have made discriminates against her because of the position with the special needs of her big Sister.

There is always an achilles heel in every situation we face with LEA.. it is simply a matter of looking at what they have not considered.

Best Wishes

Hi everyone,

Basically she's not been allocated our first choice of primary school (where she has already been for a year in the nursery). Might not seem a big deal on the surface, but the school she's currently at is only an 8 min walk away and the one we have been allocated is a drive across town. Having a major fight with the powers that be about it, our biggest argument being that if I was to break down or get stuck in traffic, I can't be in two places at once as Rose, my eldest with ASD, gets transport to and from school. There are other issues like my parents live right next door to the school that Ruby currently goes to and can easily provide me with childcare when I am on appointments with Rose.

Consequently I'm not sleeping and really struggling to keep it together. Can anyone recommend something that I could take to calm me a little, especially at night when my head is just spinning!!

Would really appreciate any advice...

Hi Mandi,

Yes, we've appealed but of course it's been rejected!! Would you send me the EFT sheet - I'm game for anything if it means I'll get the outcome I want.

My e-mail address is esme_clift @ hotmail.com

Thanks so much

Also if you are game for spooky stuff I can send the DIY easy sheet for some EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique, got me through hard times during divorce without me even really doing it properly or ever believing it would work - it did - how, who knows?

Dear Esme,

There are several lawyers making their living now out of school appeals - this

made me think of the Children's Legal Centre in Essex and whether they might be

able help with some (free) advice.

Esme,

So very sorry to hear about this. It's outrageous.

I know that for some people, tyrosine can help with anxiety. Also, as an autism

parent, lots of us have adrenal fatigue, and taking adrenal cortex can help.

For me, if I forget to take fish oil I have more trouble coping with stress (I

need a lot of fish oil for some reason--stress aside).

I hope this is resolved as it should be very soon.

Hi EsmeI also suffer from spinning head syndrome when I'm trying to sleep so things I do to help are:5HTP - will never be without it againAdrenal Cortex Extract - love itValerian - haven't tried this myself but my husband often takes it to help him sleep, you can get it in a teaNeal's Yard Calming Spray - just one spray before I get into bedhttp://www.nealsyardremedies.com/calm-spritzerRescue Remedy Nighttime, can't remember exactly what it's called but it's supposed to calm your thoughts at night10 very deep breaths through the nose, try to get your front and back to expand, hold your breathe as long as possible then exhale through the mouth, imagine all the negativity coming out with the breath. I now do this throughout the day and it's made a huge difference to my stress levels and my actual breathing, I can get a lot more air in my lungs and feel much better. Also some basic stretching before bed so your muscles aren't really tense when you're trying to sleep.If this doesn't work then counting backwards from 300 by 3s tends to work, it stops you from thinking about other things until you manage to drop off.Hope things improve soonAutism Treatment From: esmewillcocks@...Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 19:39:18 +0000Subject: Anxiety

Thank you Anita & Caroline, I really value your replies. Will start with the 5HTP tonight. Have heard lots of good reports about Adrenal Cortex Extract, will definitely order from the Nutricentre tomorrow or can you get it from a health food shop? If so, I'll pop into our local one in the morning. Will look into the Valerian as well.

This whole business with the school is just consuming me at the moment. I just can't believe the logic behind it. But then that's the local authorities for you, isn't it?!!!

Will keep fighting though. Just need to get some sleep to help me do it!

Hi Margaret,

I called them this afternoon and unfortunately we don't qualify for the free service because our house that we have a massive mortgage on is over their threshold limit!!! Couldn't even get past the screening stage. All they could offer me was a name of a lawyer who specialises in Education Law but obviously this will cost money which we haven't got!!

This has got me thinking though that this might be the road we will have to end up going down. Do you (or anyone) know of a lawyer or a corporation who may be able to help us on a pro bono basis?

Just to chime in on the anxiety front...I would second Pete's plan of first

doing an assessment, but also adding HEG to the EEG protocols. I've struggled

very much with the physiological " dread " anxiety you describe, and it takes more

than one " magic bullet " to address. The addition of HEG to my anxious clients'

sessions has also been profound, particularly those that are very fragile and

even set off by the small changes that happen from EEG sessions.

Adding breathing exercises is also helpful - two that have been particularly

helpful in my own work and for my clients have been the Yogic " breath of fire "

(can help reduce anxiety, particularly as panic builds) and another breath with

visualization, where you breathe in Light energy through the top of the head -

let it travel down inside along the front of the spine, and then breathe out the

dense energy (or heavy thoughts and feelings) through the base of spine or

through the feet into the earth. The body needs to be involved in fighting body

sensations involved with anxiety, I think.

The temporal windowed squash is one of my " favorites " in my own training, and I

keep going back to it. I actually prefer doing it to a single beep reward in

BrainMaster software, and visualize the energy/change whatever my brain is doing

to meet reward - I visualize it passing through the center of my brain, from

temporal to temporal, hitting deep brain structures within. I feel a

physiological release from that.

I hope this is helpful...

Gretchen, I assume you mean temporal to temporal with the ears as references? Which particular frequencies are you training with that windowed squash? Thanks, all very helpful. i need to get back to HEG. Margoshes, Ph.D.NY State Licensed Psychologisthttp://www.finishing school.orgOn Feb 22, 2011, at 10:31 AM, Gretchen <blueartcat@...> wrote:

Adding breathing exercises is also helpful - two that have been particularly helpful in my own work and for my clients have been the Yogic "breath of fire" (can help reduce anxiety, particularly as panic builds) and another breath with visualization, where you breathe in Light energy through the top of the head - let it travel down inside along the front of the spine, and then breathe out the dense energy (or heavy thoughts and feelings) through the base of spine or through the feet into the earth.

Yes, a 2-channel windowed squash with ears as references. I train with a window

of 10-15, (so training down 2-10 and 15-38) but check your assessments for what

is appropriate for each person.

I should mention too that the breathing exercise where light is breathed in and

dense energy/emotion is breathed out, just gives over time a better flow to

emotions, so they don't get " stuck " as much. Takes practice.

I read someone mention they felt like theyd had a load of coffee when trying the

supplements - I get the exact same. Loads more anxiety on the supps? Any idea

why? Is this part of detox? Is there anything we can do to limit the anxiety?
