Guest guest Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 My seven year old has been coping rather well lately considering that the holidays are always a difficult time for her, due to throwing off the routine. She has teetered on the edge of some meltdowns, had issues with controlling behavior and intrusive thoughts, but for the most part has been able to pull it together and function well. But last night she had what appeared to be a panic attack. This is new. Her younger sister has been sick and was unwell last night. This made my seven year old anxious. She didn't know what was going on. Then next thing I know she is hyperventilating and saying that her heart feels like it's going to explode. That sounds like a pretty classic panic attack to me. Does anyone else deal with panic attacks as a component of the OCD? Is it manageable without extra medication? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
