Emotional, angry outburst from my daughter. Like a switch turned on 5 days after getting the flu.


Two days ago my 6 yo daughter began to have these emotional, angry outburst. They mostly occur in the evening, mostly when she gets reprimanded or she is told no. She begins screaming in an out of control way, she puts her hands over her ears, she hides behind furniture. If I try to console her she flails, kicks, and screams.These outburts are followed by sobbing. She feels bad for screaming and kicking. She tells me she wants to go to heaven so she doesn't have to do this to me anymore. She says her body makes her do it and she doesn't know why. Twice this week she says she wants to go to heaven.Timeline: Saturday 27th- Dx with flu. Begins tamiflu.Sunday 28th-No more flu symptoms, playing normally. Lots of energy. Daddy leaves for work trip for 3 weeks.Wednesday-Returns to school.Thursday- In the evening is the first episode. Thursday night is possibly last dose of tamilflu, but it could have been friday morning. I cant remember.Friday-Two big outbursts.School says absolutely no changes in behavior. My daughter says on Wednesday someone was mean to her, but nothing huge. Normal kid stuff. She wants to come home on this day because she said she "felt alone" at school.I wrote the timeline because other than the flu and daddy out of town, I can't pin down anything else that would have set this off.She is a normal kid with normal activities. I need opinions. I called the doctor last night and she pretty much told me to ignore it and play it down to my daughter, act like it's not a big deal.I'm terrified for my daughter and not sure what to do.TIA. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2GILIyk
