I sometimes have irrational thoughts. It's getting worse. I sometimes feel more anxious. My dd's (11 and 14) go out with their friends and take a phone. My youngest has just started to do this. I know it's normal to worry but not sure if I'm really having mental irrationality.
They wanted to walk to the leisure centre to go swimming - its about 10 minutes walk. I told them to text me when they arrived, they didn't so I drive there to check. Both dd's say I text and check on them too much. If they don't answer I feel all panicky like the worst has happened.
I had a random text message from dd (her friend messing about). I started thinking someone had her phone. I was going to call the school.
I took my dd's to school and my youngest goes to breakfast club. There was a man sat in the carpark and I started to panic. I couldn't see a child. I went home and couldn't relax (had a proper panic) so drove back and the car was gone. He must have been a parent.
I feel like the past 3 years studying mental health has impacted on my own.
