Thank you to everyone who replied. I really needed to know I was not alone in this situation.
My son is almost 8 now, and I'm sure that when I do discuss this with him, it will be in an age-appropriate way.
I notice that he displays many of the behaviors that I suffered from as a child: hugely intense fears of the dark, clouds, lightning, strangers, going back to school after the weekend, repeadedly having the urge to urinate before a stressful situation, etc.
I have been taking him to a homeopathic consultant for over 6 months now. It is very expensive. I see no change in his behavior for the better. First, this consultant told me he would respond to the remedies in 3 weeks or less, now he says 2-5 years (!!!!!????)
I really want to avoid the psychiatrist route with my son; yet, I'm really sarting to think he needs some sort of medication as he is overly stressed for his age. I have an appointment with the pediatrician to discuss the situation next week. I met with her 2 years ago regarding this and got nowhere tho.
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!
Thanks again for all your input.
