Always been up and down with my mental health including anxiety. However when I had DD nearly 3 years ago my mental health has never been better, things that used to stress / worry me seemed irrelevant and alongside a healthier lifestyle I've never been happier, except for one issue.
My biggest fear is my daughter being alone and scared which I guess is a fear for most parents, however it's starting to impact on daily function. I don't want to fly incase something happens to me and she's alone, I don't like going to soft play as I can't see her at all times and someone may take her, then she will be alone and scared, I'm over Caution with locking doors so no one can come in / she can't go out. I guess this isn't unreasonable behaviour and it's just being sensible and cautious.
However, daughter is still cosleeping, DH wants her to start sleeping in her own bed and i know really she should, but while she is in with me i know she is safe. I fear her being in her own room as what if someone breaks in and takes her, what if there is a fire, what if there is some massive unlikely natural disaster and shes all alone. I dont fear death, just DD needing me and me not being there. Is this a normal fear which will fade as she spends more time in her own room or should i really speak to a professional about this??
