It's Getting Worse...

...Riley's anxiety, that is. Rudi just left for Barnes and Noble with the girls and Riley just collapsed into a weepy pile upon leaving. Irrational weeping. "I'm afraid that you don't want me and that you'll forget me!!" Ugh, I thought this was over and done with. I guess perhaps I'll call the play therapist and see what she thinks. She released Riley from treatment back when she was on the medication, and now that she's off of it, her anxiety is starting to ramp up again. Don't forget that it took about 1 1/2 years to reach its peak last time, and we were able to roll with it for a while, but I envision it getting back to where is was someday down the road. I guess "breaking the cycle" didn't work and perhaps she is just naturally prone to anxiety. In which case, we seriously need to work on coping mechanisms, if she is going to be saddled with this her whole life. Urgh...It never ends.
