I've always been a Londoner and used the tube daily as I work in zone 1. I worked up to 38 weeks and would get public transport daily, often with a seat offered from kind fellow commuters. Since having my son (4 months old) I am so fearful about using transport in light of the terror risk. I know thousands of people use the tube daily without any problems but I can't help but think through horrific scenarios which are leaving me unable to sleep at night. My DH simply says I need to work through it and he is right but I don't know how. He feels it might be a sign of PND but I don't feel that I am being irrational. We are on the highest terror alert and the tube has been targeted before. The recent attack has increased my nervousness.
I am due to visit work this week with DS but am lying awake now thinking about it. I don't want to let this beat me. I am also feeling the same about flying. Has anyone felt the same, and how did they overcome this?? I am not normally irrational or nervous. I continued to travel through London when the 7/7 and 21/7 bombings took place. All that has changed is having my little boy
