I worry about everything to do with my family - if my sister goes on her bike for example, i have terrible thoughts in my head that she is going to get run over or abducted. I cry before she goes out. She is 12 and never goes anywhere by herself or without friends but it dosen't stop me worrying.
I also have images of terrible things in my head and when i try to block them out, its like my mind won't let me and forces me to think about them.
I find myself doing obsessive compulsions to deal with this, like if i touch a table 10 times nothing bad will happen and bargaining that i will do something i don't want to do if my family are kept safe.
Its not only at specific times that i do this, but worrying and obsessions dominate my life all day, every day. If i go out for a meal with my family i am always wandering if this is the last time we are all going to be together.
Has anyone been through the same thing? Please help, i am a quiet person and this just makes it worse. Thanks
