Yeah it's really about figuring out the triggers and talking them out or avoiding them. Also a big thing I'm learning with my daughter's elevated anxiety after puberty is honestly knowing when to leave her alone...me and my husband always say "she's crossing over to the point of no return run away...run far far away" lol 😂. It usually means she's freaking out over nothing and needs time to process it herself usually if we leave her alone for a good hour she's all better afterwards 😁

Talking. E will let me know when she is frustrated or anxious and I listen. Then I ask her what would help her? She will tell me and thats that. Sometimes I can tell she is anxious and have to ask her how she is feeling.

We've had problems with anxiety since he was a freshman in high school. He's in his third year of college now. I actually think that he doesn't understand the emotions that he's feeling so I ask him what it feels like. A lot of the time it's not really anxiety but guilt ir something else.

What about a set picture schedule for the week, daily aerobics or exercise in the am, a few days inbetween of down time for decompressing, relaxation after extreme sensory activities, weighted vests or blankets for over stim, occupational therapy ..these are a few things we dis for j before changing to a natural medication….

We deal with anxiety with j with exercise sometimes twice a day just seems to slow down immediately after..it helps she is super Competitive and wants to beat me at everything!! We have done brushing, relaxation, weighted vests, occupational therapy; heavy lifting, pushing and pulling a vibrating chair massager to imitate car rides these all have helped to some extent
