I did post in teenager section, bit doesn't seem to get much traffic.
My dd is currently under assessment for ADHD. She isn't in school ATM, and is receiving 90 mins 121 online with a tutor. She has had anxiety issues for some time which came out in school as 'fight or flight' and often got her into trouble. That's the background.
For the last 10 days She has had a really sudden and extreme fear of allergies. She is refusing to eat, and has only had a mouthful of noodles, half a dinner and half an ice cream since last Thursday. She had not much more than that in the few days before.
She used to shower twice a day and use face masks like they're going out of fashion, but she hasn't showered in over a week, and her her is greasy and getting matted. This is the complete polar opposite to how she was just 2 weeks ago.
I spoke the the gp last week who told her it was highly unlikely she will develop a sudden allergy and this helped for about a day before she was back to being adamant she is allergic to something, she just doesn't know what, so can't eat anything.
Has anyone else had any experience of such a sudden attack of anxiety around something so irrational? I've managed to get her a face to face appointment with gp tomorrow, I'm just running out of ideas to help and I'm really worried.
