Health anxiety now moved onto DD

[Rach7291]

I have so much anxiety about DD getting ill that its starting to ruin my life. I've always had health anxiety but now its moved onto her. I am terrified of something bad happening when she does eventually get ill. I am currently having therapy but can anyone give me any positive stories or outlooks about when your babies have been ill that may help me. I'm really struggling and i don't know what to do.

See your GP or invest in seeing a private specialist. You can’t live like this

Stick to therapy. Giving you positive stories won’t help - logically you know that the vast vast vast majority of kids survive illness in this country. But your brain isn’t thinking logically it’s been taken over by the anxiety monster. You need to really work on this issue in therapy, as anxiety is infectious and the sooner it is treated the better for everyone (your DD included).
