My daughter is 8 in March went through a stage earlier in the year where she would get stomach ache before school or doctors and other that made her nervous and she’d also shiver. It stopped last time was in June. Then couple weekends a go she went baking with her grannie and when I got home from going out myself she said she had tummy ache, maybe from eating too much I thought then I asked if she felt sick she started panicking more and shouting at me because I was overwhelming her I think and told me not to talk and ran to toilet panicking. I left her to it until she calmed down and asked what was wrong and why was she shouting she said it’s because she was worried incase she was sick.
friday she was going to her friends house after school. She had fallen at school and grazed her knee pretty bad but when I went to get her to take her to her friend and her mum
she was pale shivering stomach ache. I asked what was wrong she said she thinks she was nervous. but she was so excited to go to her friends as I said we can rearrange and she really didn’t want to do that. When she got there she was fine and she got home
and she was fine.
we went to polar express today she never knew but she had stomach ache all way there I asked if she felt sick she shrugged and I handed her a bag incase and she was shouting at me again don’t do that I don’t want that take it away. Like it was making the situation worse, we stopped at McDonald’s and she went to toilet for b/m it went away, then came back on when she had eaten then started to eat again and then was fine when we returned home.
is this anxiety and stress related? How do I help her with this. We went to gp for swollen lympnode in neck a while ago and was told they were fine and eventually went away and she also had stomach checked I mentioned her stomach aches at the time and she said said could be anxiety or constipated but said her stomach felt fine.
i sometimes feel like maybe she can’t process the stomach pain and it makes her panic more and maybe she doesn’t want to be sick so she has a panic attack over it as she literally goes into melt down and shouts at us if we talk to her. Do I just leave her until it goes away?
i get anxiety poops and I have since I was little I remember everytime I went swimming I’d get those stomach ache. Wonder if she’s taking after me.
thanks for your help
