Follow-up? a hospital visit? exorcism?

I have a daughter who will be 6 years old this year.
He likes drawing, is cheerful and energetic, sometimes selfish, and fights with his 3-year-old brother over toys and mom, but I think it's common.

There are no developmental disabilities.

The children go to the nursery school where their wife works, and they return home with their wife around 19:00.

Around last year, my daughter fell asleep while watching a TV anime starring a raccoon dog. Dinner was ready, so when I woke them up, they went on a rampage as if they were possessed by something (as if they weren't human), their point of view didn't match, and their facial expressions were different from usual, which was strange.

First, my wife and I tried to stay calm, wipe our faces with a towel to calm them down, hugged them, looked around and asked for things and colors... At that time, who was this person? When I asked my wife, she answered “person,” not my favorite “mom.”

I was horrified.

By the time I finished dinner, I went back to being a normal daughter (?) We took a bath together while happily talking about our dreams for the future.

However, I think that day triggered it, but when I get home from preschool, I sometimes fall asleep in the car (I play until dinner without incident when I'm awake), and even if I let them sleep until dinner and gently wake them up, I almost always scream meaningless words and actions, cry, or go on a rampage as described above.

Even if I want to think about whether I'm in a bad mood, maybe I'm falling asleep, I can't help it because I'm still young, or maybe I'm regressing because I have a younger brother... I'm worried that this doesn't apply.

As I wrote in my profile, after my accident at age 17, I don't know if it was inspiration, sixth sense, or because of my mind, but I had a strong period of time when I felt something other than a living thing, and it's still rare. I'm thinking without permission that hospital work might also have something to do with it.

There are times when falling asleep, but there are times when it's due to fatigue and when it's not. When that's not the case, “it” usually goes towards my daughter sleeping next to me, and when I reach out and touch my daughter to protect her, the confinement is lifted and the chills go away. ... is it just a dream or a thought?

My wife and I are not religious, but we feel grateful for Shinto and Buddhism on the occasion of our marriage and birth, and we intend to act as far as we can.

I don't know if my daughter's current situation is a growing up process, a mental illness, a spiritual thing, or just thinking too much. Please give me some advice.

I just want them to think too much.

First, as something you can do...

Nice to meet you, Akira.

I understand the feeling that makes you feel uneasy.

What is the frequency of modulation for children?

It would be nice if you were dreaming and fell asleep, and the extension made you forget yourself, but when it continues, I think it's natural to be worried.

One thing is to go to the hospital.

However, it's a difficult point because you don't know the cause, you are given the name of the disease without knowing it, and you are sometimes given medicine that you don't need to take.

Here's one thing I'd like you to try while watching your child's condition.

It doesn't cost any money, and it's an easy method, so try it out.

First one.

When taking a bath with your child, put Japanese sake (as appropriate, about 1 cup) and natural salt (⚪⚪ salty, in a small plate with soy sauce) and slowly soak in the bathtub until you sweat.

Adding salt and alcohol purifies the body and improves blood circulation, so I recommend it.

The second one.

Please go pray with your children at a nearby shrine when you are taking a day off or when you have time.

In Saga Prefecture, there is Yutoku Inari Shrine in Kashima City, Takeo Shrine in Takeo City, Karatsu Shrine in Karatsu City, and Hoto Shrine. There are places such as Saga-jinja Shrine in Saga City.

Since you live, please go to a nearby shrine to pray.

If you search the internet for shrines close to where you live, there will still be many more that will come up, so please take a walk and pray slowly.

There is a saying, ask God for difficult times, but if you pray and feel better, ah, that's great! Instead of not going after that, it's also important to say thank you and express your gratitude as a thank you.

After all, they helped me, so saying thank you is the same as saying thank you to others.

However, please don't pray after 3 p.m.

Please finish praying in the morning or around noon.

First, I think you'll take a bath every day, so try taking a bath with alcohol and salt for a while on a daily basis to purify yourself on a daily basis.

Possibility of epilepsy (epilepsy)

Akira-sama

If similar symptoms develop under similar circumstances, I think there is a possibility of epilepsy (epilepsy), which can be considered as one concern.

Epilepsy is a disease that develops at a rate of 1 in 100 people, and about 80% of them can spend their time without problems with proper treatment.

Of course, symptoms may disappear as you grow.

Please do a little research on the internet, and if you are concerned, please go to a medical institution.

Good evening

It's a worrying symptom. I think it was good that they were able to respond calmly.

As you said, it's probably in the process of growing up, or maybe it's coming back to being a baby.
As for spirits... thinking about something that hasn't been scientifically proven so far causes suffering, so don't think too much about that possibility.

Either way, I think it's a good idea to talk to your doctor once.

Please keep an eye on them so they don't get hurt when they're on a rampage.

What is your physical and mental state when you go crazy?

My child had a strange time before, whether it was a side effect of influenza medicine or because of a high fever.
They looked like they were terribly frightened, angry, and like a cornered dog or cat, making their eyes wobble and groan, and they were about to get up and start running.
However, it's unlikely that your daughter is taking medication frequently or has a high fever.
As one possibility, it seems that delirium may occur due to symptoms of heatstroke.
Well, after all, why don't you consult your doctor?
After that, aren't there any situations where your daughter escapes reality (wants to have a different personality)?
(An example of a worst case is a case where a person who has been abused becomes a dual personality)
If there is a mental reason, it might be a good idea to consult a psychiatrist or the like.
Or if you talk to the public health nurse at the government office, they might be able to get some advice.
After that, please take care of your wife.
Mother's stress may also lead to child stress.
Cherish Japanese facial expressions (gentle expressions and words).
