Thank you for all of your kind words. I do keep in touch with my daughter. I think her stress is just coming from schoolwork and living away from home for the first time. She has friends, she goes out and does things. We’re just waiting for her doctor to get back to her once the tests are completed and then hopefully he’ll have some treatment for her symtoms. I think her symptoms (heart-related) are also adding to her stress but he won’t prescribe anything until he knows what is going on. But in the meantime I will definitely try all of your suggestions and see if anything helps. I told her last night she should take a bath - but there are no bathtubs in her dorm. She wrote an essay about how the college should allow students to have cats as stress reducers. So she is definitely thinking about ways to reduce her stress.
