Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I been having a hard time with the fact this coming summer. My 6 year old daughter is going to be going away to a 3 week camp. She has a lot of social anxiety where she will isolate her self from people she has to really get to know you. When in the past when we have gone to Sweden where a lot of people from my family are from and Ireland where my husband was from and when relatives have came over to visit there all very nice to her but she says away.She's goting birthday invites she will have the invites in the trash before I even know about it. She will only interact with 2 kids she knows. me. My husband my younger sister my husbands younger sister my dad my nana and my husbands dad and even then she has her moments where shell have anxiety if there's to much at once.
She's very smart in school and we been told she's very gifted and they offered her a scholarship to go to this camp with other kids just like her and where they'll have special fun activities and programs set in small groups to help them learn how to social with one another and they do not just send them to camp they are even starting to get to know eachother and do things together once a week.so they will know who each other is when they go off together for 3 weeks.
The part what's hard for me is wondering what am I going to do 3 weeks with out her. My husband went over with me. We need to do what's best for her and explained how we are her parents its not what's best for us and it will be good for her to learn how to interact with other kids but also since we have a 1 year old we can use that time for him to have one on one time with us like how our daughter had and it be good for him.
I will have a week with mommy and son bonding time then my husband He put in for 2 weeks in the summer where it will be my husband and I with our son enjoying our time with him where we will enjoy day trips with him. then when our daughter comes home we will be going up to a lake house up in the mountains for a week we rent 1 week every summer where we can take our dog.
I get worried because my daughter has stomach issues there a lot of types of food she can't eat. That's why only certain restraunts I know of I can order stuff from but prefer to prepare her food. Give her the wrong stuff she will have bad stomach pains and will be throwing up a lot.
Yes as a mom and as a wife I get my kids need to be able to be kids and have there independence which I do want them to have and learn for themselves because that's how they grow but as a mommy I worry about things happening to them and not being able to do anything about it because I'm not there I wanna feel loved to from my kids. I don't kids understand how much a mom loves them and do what she has to do to keep them safe because they don't know and wouldn't know until they had kids of there own. as a wife I feel loved when I can hug and kiss my husband at random times and cuddle him and he's always calm I think that's why my daughter is glued to him.

I been feeling ready to go and buy...
Be positive for her to go to camp. Your feelings are yours and she does not need to see, sense, or feel your anxiety.
This is a growth experience for her to figure out on her own how she wants to manage her self. Give her the opportunity to choose for herself.
Enjoy the time!
But everything in Life is a question in balance. Sounds to me like summer camp will be a growing experience for everyone involved.
As great as it is to be a Good Mommy, what does the woman in you want to be when she grows up? Me? ? ? I wanna be a retiree's lap dog when I grow up.
i’m sorry you feel so so so anxious. it sounds just like a lot to be dealing with. It sounds like this camp will help her maybe feel more comfortable about people in life. i know that maybe doesnt make it easier for you though.
here if you need anything ok? you’re so so strong and how you feel is very valid!
My family is my world and there is not a thing I won't do for them.I known as the loving and affectionate mommy and wife and very patient.
To meI think its important spending time as a whole family.but its also important having time individually with each family member. Like when my daughter is in school I get to enjoy time with my baby then as when the kids are in bed by 7 at night during the week for my daughter I get a few hours of time with my husband and then to to bed for my little girl I love to spend time with her in the mornings on the weekend after the baby is taking care of.
