Hi bri,

I do this all the time, it gets extremly worse when I am trying to fall asleep at night. I have come up with small chants that will re direct my thoughts onto something else quickly, something that makes me giggle. It's not the long term solution but it helps for now.

I hope you can find something that helps you with this issue.

alas

I went through this just a few weeks ago. The feelings haven't completely passed but discussing it with T helped a great deal. I have to always keep in the forefront of my mind, "what is the likelihood of it happening?" The truth is nothing will happen. ... My worries about myself dieing were eased by me finding out DH has a nice sized life insurance policy on me. I don't know why something as simple as that works, but it does for me. To stop worrying so much about something happening to him I got some quick lessons on how he runs our finances and policies he had on himself. Passwords, accounts, etc. I guess it gives me comfort that I probably will do okay with out him if the time ever arose. ... I do still worry though. It hasn't completely gone away. I'm sure it sounds morbid, but I'd like to check into burial plots. Lately we have been discussing cremation versus a regular burial. I guess for me it is a comfort to know that things are taken care of before they're needed.

There have been times when if he was 10 or 15 minutes late getting home from work I automatically panic. There have been a few times that he was late like that... when he walked in the door I ran to him and cried like a baby So.. I'm still learning how to cope with such things. It's hard.

My kids are 8½ and 10.. I wonder how I'll be when they get older and are late coming home from somewhere .

I know that "what's the likelihood of something happening" is a hard thing to remember when ya need to... but if you can do it, try to.
