do any of you sit around when the people that you love are not with you and convince yourself that the worst possible thing has happened to them? my husband is at work right now and i know he is ok but im sitting here crying because my thoughts are telling me that something horrible, like a car wreck is happening to him. whenever my son and husband go out together i cant relax. for the most part i sit here and cry and worry until they get home. i do this all the time. my husband is probably getting tired of my calling him every 5 minutes to make sure he is ok and then he comes home and im sitting on the couch crying because the voices are telling me that hes dead. im not alone in this am i? is there anything at all i can do about it? i told my therapist and she basically just told me to stop it. if i could just stop it i wouldnt need her would i?

The same thing happens to me, except i picture it happening and then i believe that that is what really happened. Like i always picture my best friend being murdered in her sleep or killing herself and its so hard to not be able to do anything about it. Usually when that stuff happens i contact them to make sure theyre ok but like you said, they probably get annoyed. So i just start coloring or watching TV. But you're not alone

Hi
yep i started to worry about mortality a lot in say the last 6 months of my illness. Bizarrly it didt worry me till i read about Al Capone dying of syphills . My mental defences were down and the illness hit me (depsite it happening to a criminal all those years ago) Maybe i thought even those who seem strong (even in abad way) can die and get sick. Morover it ties in with a fear that being sick myself i will not be able to help my family if they get sick - it even gets to the stage sometimes where if my mum is sleeping i ill check shes breathing to make sure shes a live. I think i must have read the capone thing when i was particular in vunerable state mentally not being able to filter things adam
