5Yo Daughter, could this be Anxiety issues?

[KlutzyDraconequus]

Hi everyone.

Im concerned about my Daughter... But as shes my only daughter I'm not sure if im worrying needlessly and shes just a normal 5 year old.
I'll try to be brief.

She over thinks a lot of things. She'll lie in bed at night and often ends up crying about things that happened dys ago, or things that havent happened yet, or things that dont have anything to do with her.
EG:
Sunday night she went to bed at 7.00pm. by 7.30 she was up and shouting me. I went up and spoke to her. She's in floods of tears because her teacher might make her stay after school on a Tuesdays for drama club. Only it turns out her teacher didn't say it to my daugter. The techer had asked the year ones to leave their coats as theybhve drma club and asked the reception kids to get their coats as theyre going home.
So my DD heard this on Tueaday and Sunday night is sobbing about. I reassured her hes not in dramam club, that the teacher coukdnt make her stay withiut daddies say so and that drama club is only for yr 1 and shes not yr 1.

Other things happen like that too. A boy in her class likes to play tag, even with kids tht arent actually playing tag. So he ran up to my DD in the playground, tagged her, laughed and ran off. That was Monday. By Thursday my DD has turned that into the boynrunning upntonher and hitting her and shes scared to go back to school in case the boy hits her again. (I then spend an hour talking her throughbwhat happened to find out the boy eas playing tag etc)

This morning I did her cardigan buttons up, she begins to cry and hets upset because when she has PE she cant undo her cardigan buttons. But PE isnt until tomorrow but shes fretting about it today.

Random times for no apparent reason she'll begin to cry and whennasked why its because shes worried i wont pick her up from school or that she'll miss me whilst shes at school.

Other day she lost a tooth and we put it under her pillow. In the morning she cried her heart out because she thought the toth dairy hadnt come. Tooth fairy had come but had left the money in the 'Wrong' place.

I could go on.

But.. what makes me think that its not 'Normal' < i hate that word.. but what make me think it's not quite right is that all these little things that worry her, make her fret to the point she cries etc are all 'small' things.. big things she takes in her stride and isnt bothered by.
Her mum and i split and her mum moved out, shes not bothered, just means she has two bedrooms.
Her mum got a new chap, no worries.
Her mum is pregnant, no biggie.
We're moving house and possibly changing schools, she's excited and planning her bedroom decor. (Shes having pink with blue patterns...) Shes looking forwars to making new friends. Etc

To me being close to it, it seems she obee thinks the smaller things until they're huge things and ignores the big things and doesnt give them a second thought.
Does that sound like anxiety to anyone else? Is it worth a trip with her to the GP? Should I be talking to her about her qorries and such or, as the ex suggests, shut it down and ignore?

Thanks for any responses. :)

I don't have any direct advice except to say that maybe it is the bigger things that are bothering her and this is how it's manifesting itself. My DD turned 7 in January, just after DS was born. DD started acting in a similar way, saying that she sometimes feels like she needs to cry but she's not sure why, or getting very upset over small things or things that happened a while ago. The only thing that changed is that all of a sudden she doesn't have us all to herself, it's a big change for her so I can see how this would be making her more sensitive.
Definitely don't ignore her worries, she needs to know you'll hear her when she has concerns or is upset. Maybe try and talk to her about the bigger things too and how she feels about them?
Hopefully she'll get through it soon

So sorry, but I think her mum leaving, getting a new partner and now having a new baby are very big things indeed. Please don’t underestimate how this will be making your dd feel. I have worked as a TA in primary schools for nearly 15yrs and this is very typical behaviour of a worried and insecure child. You can not reassure her enough that both you and mum love her very much and that you would never ever leave her. All of these things will be playing in her mind. Lots of love and cuddles would be my advice. You haven’t said if she sees her mum, but if she does she will need to make her feel special and reassured that she won’t be replaced by the new baby. Good luck

The many little worries are just a symptom if the massive changes in her life.She can't articulate these and her feelings .
She needs lots of reassurance from you and her ex.
She needs to feel secure and may be especially vulnerable once the baby is here.She certainly doesn't need to be shut down.Keep reassuring her but don't loose sight of the real reasons for these fears.
