Then there is school itself. He will be home at night with his dad, I'm at work. He will call our text me 8 times in 4 hours to make sure he had everything in his backpack, that I signed what I had to sign, etc. Don't forget this, check that, make sure this...
Well, it was all manageable, until the other night. He called me at work after his basketball game, getting ready for bed. We had already gone thru our standard texts and calls. His last call was..."I'm worried that I'm forgetting something that I'm supposed to be worried about." So it's gotten to the point that he is worried about not worrying enough. Uuugh...worry on top of worry.
Anyway, that was when I realized that maybe I should look into getting him help, for real. I've thought about it before, but now I think he might need counseling beyond what I can do. Has anyone else had this type of issue? How can I help him? I hate to see my child like this, makes me sad and then I worry about his worrying. It's a sick little cycle. Anyone have suggestions? He is a normal child otherwise, plays sports, has friends, funny, just had so much worry in his head.
