Worrying not heard from husband

So I used to be a bad worrier and have been a lot better lately. However my husband left for work at 7am and got the train near us. He text at 710 so knew he was on the train. Now I can’t get hold of him. The WhatsApp’s are going through with one tick. He hasn’t been online. He isn’t answering when I phone. I’ve emailed him at work and no reply. Now he could be in a meeting without his phone.
He would arrive at work at around 830/845 as it’s about a mile walk from the station.. and it’s about an hours drive away from me at work.

Now I am panicking as his phone just rings. And WhatsApp are still on grey. He could be in a meeting without his phone which isn’t unusual but I don’t know what to do if I don’t hear from him. I can’t relax. All sorts of horrible scenarios have gone through my head and I have horrible anxiety stomach ache!

Oh goodness, are you getting any help for your anxiety?

Leave it another hour and then call again if needs be, I’m sure he is in a meeting and can’t answer his phone at the moment x

Have you had help with this?

Would he be aware how badly this would cause you anxiety? It can be overwhelming to have someone watching so closely your every move.

I'm sure he is fine. Don't contact again as he will see your messages and missed call when he is able to look at his phone.

Leave it another hour and try his workplace landline.
