My daughter is 7, nearly 8. For the past 6 months to a year she is sooooooooo anxious over everything. I blame her dad as he has bad health anxiety but it’s rubbed of onto her and my god don’t I know it. Everytime someone is sick at school, I get a phone call to say she’s had a meltdown and then she doesn’t stop going on anoht it and I have to go up the school to go and get her. She literally has not stopped going on about sickness or a bug or anything. She refuses to eat anything in the cupboard because it isn’t fresh apperently so she will be sick so everyday I have to physically go out and buy new stuff just so she will eat it or she has a meltdown. Today was mince, she wouldn’t eat the one I defrosted so had to drive 20 mins down the road just so she would see I picked up a fresh one and she read the date and saw it wasn’t out of date even though the one I defrosted was still in date. And now her new thing since the last week is she’s convinced her heart isn’t beating. She’s refused to go settle for bed cos she can’t feel her heartbeating and her heart isn’t beating anymore I told her it isn’t possible and for her to sit there and tell me her heart isn’t beating it is infact beating and if it wasn’t beating she wouldn’t be alive. Honestly it’s draining. I row with my husband over it cos he doesn’t think I deal with it properly but I’ve tried, and I’ve spoken to a dr and they say try ignore it as kuch as possible and she will grow out of it. Except she’s getting worse. I have no idea what to do now. She’s laying in bed currently and I can hear her saying mummy I can’t feel it beating it’s not beating anymore it’s stopped. It breaks my heart but also I feel sad for her cos she’s only 7 and when she gets older she’s honestly not going to be able to cope with life šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø my husband sister is like it too so I think it runs in their family but it’s honestly at that point now where I can’t say or do anything to help her 😩😩😩😩
