11yr old DD anxiety

My 11yr old DD had a anxious episode a few days ago. She couldn't tell me why she was so anxious because she said she didn't know. She knew she was safe but she felt so anxious it bought her to tears. She's told me it happens randomly & that she doesn't know why. I'm worried about her. She seemed her usual self over the weekend but she seems exhausted today. I haven't taken her to the doctors yet but I'm beginning to think I should.

Anxiety can come and go. if it happens again get her to see if she can identify a trigger then it will be easier to manage. If she can't look yourself at what is going on for her at the time and then ask her if it is to do with x,y or z. Get her to practice mindfulness & relaxation. Talk to her about her feelings etc
