This morning was "PJ Day" at school for my 7-yr-old - something I guess is  fun / exciting for most kiddos - but in our household turned into an  hour-long, full on anxiety attack because he wanted to participate but was  convinced every possible outfit choice would make people laugh at him.  Which of course, because he is 7, expresses itself a lot as anger /  rage.

We're FINALLY starting CBT  with someone who specializes in anxiety in children next week - we've  been waiting and waiting and waiting to be able to do this in person.  And we're going to be meeting this month with a psychiatrist to start  learning more about medication options since his daily life is so  heavily impacted by this struggle.

I'm  just wondering if anyone who has been there has any advice or tips or  suggestions for me. My kid is so desperately unhappy the majority of the  time.
