Hi,
I feel like I'm going a little bit crazy here. Since I became a mum for the second time, I've got this incredible fear about the future. Maybe it's getting towards middle age, maybe it's having a couple of tiny people relying on me, I don't know. I've suffered depression before and I'm worried I'm heading into some sort of downward spin.
I'm so afraid of the future. I'm afraid of something happening to my children and not being able to do anything about it. I'm afraid of getting ill and possibly having to leave them before I'm ready. I'm afraid of losing my parents and siblings. I'm even afraid of silly little things. It's starting to preoccupy me so much that I don't feel I'm living in the present.
I don't even know why I'm posting here. Advice? Knowing that somebody might feel the same? I just don't know.

Anybody so afraid of the future that they can't enjoy the present?
