Thank you for your feedback. We have already implemented some of your advice. We have gently told her unless there are any symptoms then we will not be going back to the dr and my husband and I have agreed that when it comes up we will make sure she knows that we hear her, but let’s focus on the positive things in life right now. We gave her ideas on how to help herself such as music, taking the dog for a walk, playing her game with friends. She is 17. And has always been a thinker and a worrier. She is me when I was that age. Yesterday was a good day, she was smiling when I picked her up from school and work. I will reach out for further help for both of us if needed. Will keep following the advice you posted. Thank you so much.  ... View more

Hi there. I have spoken to my daughter about her concerns, her main concern is passing it on if she ever got it. She said she would suffer with guilt. She is such a caring girl and hates to see people upset. We have been to the doctors twice during this time as she had her Travel immunization booster done, I raised her concerns to the dr and the dr reassured her, obviously the second time was when she got tested due to a sore throat. After that she was fine and once the results came thru she returned to school quite ok. As far as her health she is not showing symptoms but worrying that much, is making herself sick then getting panicky. My husband and I have calmly gone thru all the symptoms, local cases and keeping safe by washing hands etc. She has just got herself into a state. I am hoping that school holidays in a week will give her some down time. This virus is going to be around for a while yet so it’s concerning me how she’s going to handle it.  ... View more
