Hi b.l.u.e.b.e.l.l.
Thanks for your post.
I don't have a little one with anxiety, but what I do have is a resource that might be able to help -
This one has a little tip sheet on anxiety as well as a couple of strategies that might help like talking about anxiety and helping them identify it (like Mr. Worry). They also have a phone number you can call for support. It may even help to learn more about anxiety if you're not familiar with it - people can experience it in lots of different ways. https://www.parentline.com.au/parenting-information/tip-sheets/anxiety.php
If you can, try to remember that the diagnosis is a good thing so that he can get some help. Lots of children can have anxiety disorders and so it's not uncommon. Even though it might be difficult to watch your little one struggle, it doesn't necessarily mean that his life will be like this. Being able to learn anxiety techniques can help him now and in the future.
