Angielala,
You bring up a couple of good points.
Anxiety. She has always been a kid who threw up a LOT. (Every other week whether she needed to or not). I drive her to school because she gets "bus sick". We've decided that if she only throws up once, that it is "normal" for her - and she can go on with her day. If she throws up more than once, she has a bug. She dropped out of Nursery School when she was 3 because she couldn't let her parent (either one) leave her. She did fine when she was 4 (same school). She doesn't *talk* a lot about anxiety, but I could ask...
Sometimes she has had insomnia problems. She's not talking about that now, but (again) I should probably ask.
She was supposed to have general bloodwork done last year, but she doesn't like needles and I didn't press it. Sounds like we should do it right away. I hadn't thought of Thyroid, but that certainly could be a factor (and is treatable, too!).
Sometimes I feel like she is "trying" to get out of bed. Sometimes I feel like she is too tired from the rest of her life and it's hard for her to get up. Sometimes I feel like she's doing it just to aggravate me.
Thanks for the ideas!
