Therapy takes a long time but it does make a difference. Your empathy and acceptance will be helpful for him. Sometimes it helps for me to express myself to my wife. She doesn’t try to fix it, she just listens but getting out of my own head helps.

Fortunately it’s not every day for me. It used to be a lot worse but I was given a different medication (over a year ago now) that greatly improved it for me. I’ve done a lot of reading on anxiety as well. My faith helps too. I hope your stepson gets better.

🤣 indeed! He did it to my in the Grocery store once too. Ducked behind a cooler. I turned around, couldn’t see him and went into instant panic mode. He was good at it! Too big for it now.

Hiding realizing you were going to get in trouble is something o would have done. I walked home from school when I was about 5 because worried about getting yelled not realizing what I’d done was going to get me in trouble.

We work up one morning and couldn’t find our kid. He was hiding us. Little jerk.

Where is the problem then? What’s the fix? I’m not on the “fire the coach” bus either, but I’m baffled. Stanley Cup final 2 years in a row to this?

You’re stimming. So many of us do it. I’ll get just one part of a song stuck on repeat all day. I’m surprised my family haven’t yelled at me yet!

It’s how I was feeling after the second goal so a perfect fit as far as I’m concerned!

I was baffled why they were reviewing it. If he’d have turned around and two handed, battle axed it, I would understand but that was just a slash. 2 mins tops!
