Ok, I read this out loud to our daughter who is 22 (just graduated with a degree in psychology) and my husband .
My daughter says it sounds like your daughter has gotten into a pattern of behaviors with you. She likes that she has your attention and you are giving her choices, but she is afraid to make a wrong choice. She is used to the push and pull the two of you have. She is thriving on the attention. But then is angry with herself.
My husband says it reminds him of when he had to go shopping with his mom. He hated the having to make a choice part of shopping. ..
He is ADHD and being made to try on things and make choices was way too overwhelming.
He says it is too many steps, for just a big let down if he decided he did not like any of it.. Or his mom was not happy with the clothing.
He felt like his mother would be disappointed and that he would have to start all over. He says he knows that anxiety your daughter is feeling and it has nothing to do with you, it is all internal in her.
I wonder if talking with her about choices. That it is ok to just "try". It is ok, if we do not like something after we try and we do not like it, But it is fun when we try and we do like it.. That there is no right and wrong about these things.
Also is she a bit of a perfectionist? I used to model making mistakes, gosh knows I am so clumsy , i dropped and fumbled my way through lots of tasks all of the time, but I would admit it and handle these episodes, calmly or with humor.
Even if I made a bad choice that caused a loss of money, being late, having to admit to a lot of people, I did this to show our daughter, everyone makes mistakes, but if we will admit it and learn how to make it better, others will understand.
Is she in school yet? See what the teacher notices. Maybe speak with a child behaviorist or a therapist about these behaviors, They may have some suggestions.
