Hi i have a 10 yr old daughter with anxiety and migraines too. she has always been sensitive. we are very close she has just started with feeling as thought i am not going to come home after work crying when i have to work late and fears about the future. i have made an appt with a child therapist to help her battle this right away. i know what you are going thru. good luck
Yes, it is time to seek medical attention. Your child suffers from anxiety and from your description, it sounds to be quite severe. It appears your daughter is not able to manage her fears without some form of treatment - be it intervention, therapy and/or medication. Please note that anxiety is highly treatable and I urge you to see your pediatrician or child neurologist or medical person who is experienced with anxiety disorders as soon as possible. Anxiety does not go away nor does one outgrow it.
Has she always slept in your bed?
Sounds like dad's not in the picture, am I right? I don't know what happened there, but maybe she's had people in and out of her life, and she's just afraid that you are next. All you can do is be there for her, reassure her that you aren't going anywhere, like you have been.
I bet that it has always been you and her, huh? She's just having trouble with the change, getting older, and having to leave mommy behind all day. I don't know what the answer is, but just being there for her, like you are
good luck
