Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Things continue to get worse... Its 3 days before Christmas and it might as well never come. DS's anxiety is all consuming. We removed homework, then last week we removed him from school, now he's too stressed to even get out of bed. He spent last Thurs. night and most of the day Friday with one Grandma, Fri. night with his other grandparents (we were there when he woke up Sat. morn), Sat. I took him to see Return of the King, Sunday morning he filled his role in the church Christmas program and got to go with a friend to his first ever Steelers game at Heinz field, very stressed last night, didn't finally get him to bed until after 11p, and now this... My wife has a very part-time job assisting an older family with some light housework and he (DS) knows he'd be going with her, its no surprise or unusual circumstance. Now, she's held captive at home this morning and he can't identify what makes him feel stressed or what would make it better. He's 11, OCD/GAD/ADHD...20mg Lexapro and yesterday, over a 13-hour period, it took 4 1mg doses of Xanax to get him through the day. Our home is figuratively on its weak and trembling last leg...
