My four year old daughter has been getting an uncontrollable sensation to stretch. She says she feels it in her arms and legs but her entire body gets tense. It usually happens when she is frustrated over something or when we are getting ready to go out somewhere. At first it just happened and it was over with and that was that, (for some months it was like that). But lately she starts crying as soon as she feels that way and says, "why am I feeling this way, I don't want to feel this way". She seems completely unable to control it and completely overwhelmed and devastated by it. Yesterday and today it has happened more than ever and today she even said at one point that she felt like she could not walk.

When it goes away she is back to her normal self until something else triggers it. One thing that almost always triggers it is when she sits in her car seat. She knows how to tie herself and used to but now she gets "stretchy" as she calls it, practically everytime and asks me to tie the car seat harness for her.

I would appreciate it if anyone has any feedback.

Thank you.
