Hi everyone. I don't know exactly what this is. It seems that I have anxiety (?) maybe towards my mom? I'm not exactly sure what all this is but, it's the best thing I could think of.

I KNOW that whenever my mom goes out, I'm already just triggered to believe something terrible is going to happen. I, for some reason, am set to think that when I'm with her, I can 'protect' her, so to say, and nothing would happen--like a car crash or something.

I never get this with anyone else, my older sister who drives, or my grandmother/grandfather. It's always just my mom.

She newly got a job and while I'm ecstatic about that, when she's late home I get worried. I remember once when I was like 10, she usually came home @ about 11. I would usually wait up for her, but when I had to go to bed (I was little, and tired ) I went to be crying. Turns out she just had to stay a little late.

What's even weirder is that even if we JUST got in a fight--if she wants to leave it's always "Can I go with you?" because I'm set on believing she's in danger. I know this can annoy her, so, being older, I sometimes force myself not to ask and stay home, unless offered. Usually I'll call her tons while she's gone...@ Work when I get home from school, I call and make sure she got there.

This is really beginning to stress me out, Idk what it all means

Seems to me you have a fear of abandonment. Are you seeing a therapist to help you sort this out?

No. And quite honestly, I don't know what to do in order to get one. Guess that's why I come here =/. I try and tell my mom I believe I need one, but I guess thinks I don't need one.

Hi Frankx,
Are you still in school? Like junior high or high school? If your school has a counselor, I would suggest that you talk to your school counselor. He/she may be able to connect you with someone who can help you. You do likely need to talk to a therapist or counselor for help.
Hang in there!

It sounds like ocd anxiety .

Frankz, if you are unable to get help at school go here and click on your state: http://www.nami.org/Template.cfm?Sec...iateFinder.cfm

Perhaps your local organization can help you or you and your mom get the help you want. Good luck.
