Tractors and Teen Anxiety

November 4th, 2008

This morning I woke up to a tractor digging in the yard next door. It was really annoying. I had a rough night last night because my daughter had a wild imagination. So she was up and down last night. So today I am paying for it. I feel so warn out, but the sad thing is if I went to bed I could not sleep at all. Its crazy how that works. Sleep loss and chronic illness don’t go well together. I hope tonight she won’t start walking the floors again. She’s high anxiety and gets test anxiety and totally upset from the smallest things. I’ve been teaching her to take some deep breaths and ask herself if how she’s reacting is realistic or not. I hope this helps her deal with the anxiety. I have my fingers crossed  it does help.

    It’s a good thing you teach your daughter on how to calm herself during this kind of situation. My daughter is starting to overact on somethings too nowadays.
