OK, I'm having an issue with anxiety. Doc said he would rather not give me meds, recommended therapy/counciling first.
I am overly worrying about DD, who turns 3 next week. At night I think I hear her crying sometimes when she is not. Also, this is her first year in daycare so she has been sick a lot.
Strep and Chicken Pox outbreaks last week, so more to worry about. When she coughs at night I get the "fight or flight" response of adreneline.
Now, I consider myself pretty prepared and able to handle most situations. I understand colds, fevers, etc. I know kids get them. I do all that the pedi says (vicks, elevated head, honey, humidifyer, etc).
For some reason I can't relax and its affecting my sleep and I've lost a lot of weight. I can work it thru my head logically, but body won't behave. Wife thinks its because I'm a control freak, type A. I never really considered myself to be either, but do have strong preferences for the way things are done.
Anyone seen a therapist or councilor for something similar and had good luck?
