sweets, this is *normal* for many many mothers. ask any nurse or emerg doc.

i've had friends get 10 x as upset as the kid did when the kid got hurt.

i watched a whole campsite practically go into hysterics when my little boy cut his head, while he stood there giving people weird looks because he hadn't felt more than a bonk and he didn't notice he was covered in blood head to foot - from a tiny 1-inch cut. it's a normal reaction to feel panic when someone, or even a loved pet, is hurt. for someone who has anxiety or panic attacks aside from this, to keep from being triggered by something real is very very hard. you are NOT a bad mother. your child got the help she needed. you did what was necessary. that is what a *good* mother does.

and it's normal for a good mother to feel guilty, too. i think that's a required ingredient lol.

if it still bothers you, tuck your daughter into your arms and ask her if it scared her when you got upset, and if she says yes, just tell her it was because you love her so much you got scared because she was hurt. i don't know if she's old enough to understand that, but if it scared her, you talking to her about it might help, and it might help you to explain to her.
