I'm very very afraid and there is something playing on my mind. I have a particular phobia about a particular event that may happen, I have gotten episodes of it throughout my life since my teens. Think like possibility of nuclear war type of fear, though that's not it. There was a news item about it yesterday and now I can't do anything, thought about it all night woke up grinding tteth and loose bowels, all the physical manifestations of fear. I have a newborn and two preschoolers and its them the fear centres on.
How can i stop this thinking? I keep imagining my lovely children suffering and wondering if I'd have the strength to ease their suffering if |I had to. But don't fear for my children I wouldn't dream of doing that unless my local town looked like a postapoc film, things are not that bad yet anyway! its only an example of the kind of thoughts that are going round
I feel so so afraid and bloody annoyed, some people have real worries and I have imaginary ones. How can I stop this? i truly believe it
(If you guess what I might be thinking about please don't write it down as it might tip me over!)
