Firstly, I want to say that I really do know I’m possibly BU here – I’m a relatively young mother with no family to ask for advice from, and I think partly because of this I sometimes get really horribly anxious about what often end up being small things.
Anyway, DH and I rent our house, which we live in with our 2 young boys. Not far away (takes about 10 mins to walk, but bear in mind that’s not a straight line) is a big electricity pylon. In addition to this, And right on the other side of our next door neighbours is an electricity substation. I didn’t think anything of this when we moved in (didn’t even know about the pylon) but now I’ve been reading online about possible links between EMFs and childhood cancer, and I am getting extremely anxious about it and can’t stop thinking about it.
We haven’t renewed our contract with our landlord yet and could potentially move out in January. But one of our boys goes to school nearby and the location is brilliant, and we love this house, and could not guarantee finding another to rent nearby. I don’t want to move, but I am getting so upset over these EMF studies. I can’t tell if I’m overreacting or not. I think I may have an issue with anxiety but I don’t know whether or not in this case it’s justified.
Can someone please talk some sense into me either way
