Hi all. I am new to this but just wanted to know if anyone else out there has a child who fears death to the extreme. ALmost obsessivly. My eldest son died when my youngest was 3. He was fine until he turned 8 and its been hell ever since. I seems to be ruling our whole lives. He fears me leaving him so has separation anxiety and cries all the time that he doesnt want anyone to die. He is 10 now and is not living because of his fears. Yes he has been diagnosed with extreme anxiety by a clinical psychologist who he has been seeing for 18months but its US who have to live with him. He fears the dark so will NOT sleep without a light on. He would rather wet his pants than walk down the short hallway to use the toilet. He wont go into his room by himself. He just lives in fear all the time. It is breaking my heart to see him like this. I just wondered if there is anyone else who has a child like this or has any ideas of how I can help him...Im desperate...thank you

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I feel for you as I am very worried and concerned myself. He is very unhappy and isn't enjoying life at all

My seven year old talks about me and his dad dying all the time...He worries about everything and obsessed with his hands and bottom being clean. I feel lost, scared and just don't even know how to treat him anymore...breaks my heart. So, angeljosh, you are not alone.
