What you doing for him and your self about this ?
Hi, I hope everything is ok this morning. I'm thinking of you
Take care x
Hi
Sorry to hear your son is suffering with anxiety
Have you suggested him seeing the GP , you could even go with him if he feels he couldn't go on his own , but it sounds like he could do with some support
You could even go & see the GP & explain how this is affecting you they could maybe support you as I no for family & friends it can be very difficult trying to live with someone with anxiety
Would he look at this site maybe ?
Keep talking on here or ask when you need help we will try our best to answer & even if we don't have the answers we are very good at listening & that can help so much
Love

I made him go to the doctors and the doctor said he dont look like he is suffering from depression and just give him sleeping tablets as he is getting angry over not sleeping were I only see him in bed all the time he dont seem to have any energy to get out of bed even to go to work he gets in a state he.s a young lad and its so sad to see him like this he was such a bubbly boy x
Hi
I can imagine how upsetting this is making you feel to watch your son struggling it would make me feel this way to
I would go back again , maybe see another GP in the same surgery if you don't feel the original one was very helpful or understanding , quite a few of us have had to do this & got better results
He shouldn't be suffering like he is , there is help out there , keep knocking on the doors until someone listens & they will , we shouldn't have to but sometimes we have to push before we get the help that's needed
Let us no how you get on

Have you tried relaxation the other things are avoid caffeine if he can't sleep no coffee or tea after say 6pm look for apps for relaxation if he has a smart phone he could listen to it, it does help ok and when he has a panic attack are you aware how to deep breath make sure he breaths from his tummy again there are apps for this one of the apps is called panic hope this helps relax us another app 69p
Hi, I have just seem your post and can really empathise with you. My 25yr old son has had anxiety/panic attacks/health anxiety/depression since 2010, he has always been very sensitive and a worrier from around 12 yrs. the trigger. 3yrs ago was the suicide of a friend the same age . After counselling CBT and now anti depressants he has got his life back and so have we as a family . I would strongly recommend you seek help from your GP for your son as this kind of problem is extremely debilitating for all concerned. Tell him not to be afraid , there is help there for him , it will take time , but you can't go on as you are . I wish you well and good luck x
