I have always been anxious and it has been passed down through generations but now I have a child I am just so worried all the time that they are either going to die in an awful accident or be killed by someone or get a disease or something I can't control. even now I am sitting here worrying because he has gone out with my mum and I am so scared something will happen. Because things DO happen everyday, you see it and hear on the news and I just know I could not cope with it. It affects me so badly that i will try anything to try and avoid him being looked after by other people or going in anyone elses car etc. It affects how i arrange to do things and it is really awful, I just feel it has taken over. Now I am pregnant again too and don't want to risk passing this hideous anxiety down to my children but i don't know how i can stop it.
I'm not really like it when he's with me, just when someone else is looking after him, even his dad, then I worry doubly!
I can't get anything done, like now i should be doing housework and i'm on here going on about how worried i am! Does anyone else feel like this and if so have they found any help that has worked for them? I need to get a handle on it, it's driving me insane!
