Basic problem is that I worry too much about something bad happening to my DH.
He has a motorbike, I was brought up to think them very dangerous and so now I focus worries on him on the bike. He's a very safe driver, always wears proper kit etc. and is going to take advanced course etc. but when he's out I can't stop all these images of him being killed, how awful it'd be etc. and so if he's not back when I expect it I panic. It's just really hard because he's the most precious thing to me and I can't bear the thought of anything happening to him.
So how do people not go crazy worrying about their loved ones? I know there's risk in everything so this extreme reaction doesn't seem quite right. Is it an OCD-type of thing (I am a bit of a control freak) or am I just stuck with worrying?
