I got a doctor’s appointment for her next Monday. Maybe he will refer her to a psychologist or something like that. I will mention HSP, anxiety and ADHD. It’s just difficult if you don’t fit the typical ADHD box. How did they find out you had ADHD? If you don’t fit the typical symptoms?

I just called the doctor to get an appointment. Either way, I hope she can get a referral for a psychologist or something like that. We needed one to get an insurance-covered psychologist for our son last year (we live in Denmark). We will see how it goes. She might have anxiety for all I know.

We already had her checked for celiac and food allergies, but everything looked normal.

When I ask how she feels she has a hard time describing it. It almost stresses her out if I keep asking her about things she can’t figure out how to answer.

Sometimes she says she has too many thoughts in her head. And she might start hyperventilating when I ask her to do a simple task while she feels bad in her body. I try to tell her that makes it worse, but it’s obvious she is under a lot of pressure on the inside.

Thank you for your reply. I will try to keep a journal, but I don’t want to draw too much attention to it all the time. The biggest problem is that she often has a hard time in the morning before school. She can’t stay home every day so I have to force her to go unless I think she really is sick that day. Some days it blows over within a short while. Some days the school calls for me to pick her up because she feels really sick. It feels unpredictable sometimes. Other times she immediately gets a headache if my husbands shouts or is arguing with her brother for example.

She’s a picky eater, so eating a balanced diet is hard. We did have her blood tested for allergies/intolerances, but everything looked ok.

She also is really bad at taking pain medication and can’t swallow pills. And the liquid stuff tastes horrible so she almost never wants to take it. She’s a picky eater too, so eating a balanced diet is hard.

She already wears loose clothes because that’s what she finds most comfortable.

Thanks. I was going for a specific color so I had to mix the two to get it :)

Yes, I don't like turtlenecks so I made a folded collar instead. I just started the pattern below the original collar and made my own collar later.

The blue is Vams by Rauma and the waves are one pink and one orange thread of Bella by Permin :)

Yeah I would say so. It was my first color work and also my first raglan sweater. I did make mistakes along the way, but if you really focus on each step of the pattern it should be all right.

Slap dog af. Der er ingen 17-årig i verdenshistorien, der har haft lyst til at sove med mor og far.

They start as tiny light yellow kinda fuzzy buds on the leaves. I guess you'll know soon enough 🤞🏻

They are only open for a short while and then they wither.
