I was thinking I was at the end of the tunnel. I saw the light, and now it is getting dim again....

This morning DH told me that last night after I went to bed SD16 told him she needed a CT scan because in the last 2 weeks she has been getting dizzy, pressure in her head and just can not focus, anxiety really bothering her....I have been with her for 2 weeks straight. Took a number of days off last week on school vacation to bring my son and her places and she has had a great time. Friday had a SM SD night it was great. Went to eat, went shopping, actually closed the malls....This weekend again with me all weekend while DH was in garage....Yesterday she went to a friends to do a project but was home 2 hours later (enjoyed the alone time with DH, she has been with us ALL THE TIME)...Never have I onced noticed any anxiety, any headaches she was having, nothing...So a little confused where this is all comming from. Then he tells me all the places i took them last week she tried to have a good time but just couldn't...I am not understanding this....i have pretty much done kartwheels for her. i have paid more attention to her than my own child and i am a little hurt by hearing all this...She told her father that when we went to the museum she had anxiety, well i do not know when that was either it was by all the laughing we did, or the fun we had in the museum, I am not sure when that hit....

Now all this came about after BM called her and when she hung up started telling DH all these issues...So now I am wondering is this true or is she noticing now that I give her attention daddy is not so much focused on her, is it because BM wants her to come by Wed.., is it daddy gives alot of attention when anxiety acts up and for 2 weeks he has not...

all i can say is this morning DH was not to happy. We thought we were moving ahead now we seem to be stepping back again...He did make the apt with therapist we are waiting for a call back. But we did make plans for this friday and SD was going with my boys (older son comming home for weekend from college) he has tickets to a hockey game and is taking SD and brother. Well guess last night SD told DH she didn't want to go and now DH is thinking of changing our plans. This weekend our whole weekend was focused (well my weekend was) on SD sorry next weekend at least friday we are going to friends...Not sure what to do here....What the hell happened?????

I am not a medically qualified person, but your SDs symptoms seem very like ones I used to get, of anxiety - ie dizziness, head pressure, can't enjoy anything, can't concentrate. She may be doing it for attention, but it would be prudent to investigate the other possibles, as well.

I'm not a doctor but I play one on this site. SD is suffering from "MANIPUL-ITIS" A painful throbbing in the head and dizziness when it's time to follow rules or carry out requests by SM. Side affects include attentionwhorania whereby increased attention from daddykins comes on the heels of said primary "medical condition"

OMG yesterdayu i wanted to....She went to do this project and after 1 hour he called her to see if she was OK...I was like what are you doing? he says well she didnt really want to go just making sure she is OK....

She does have anxiety but he feeds it alot and makes matters worse...She is 16 not 6 sweety, stop!!!!!
