I lost my dad when I was 10 so I also go through this from time to time.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301630975802811252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685829644342774032.post-65853720453705024752010-06-12T12:33:43.433-04:002010-06-12T12:33:43.433-04:00I tend to do this as well.

My most common one is if I'm driving somewhere on the freeway (higher speed) and then all of the sudden think or picture in my head what would happen if I crash. I think to some extent it's an anxiety thing. <br />I love your comment on how you always feel better when you blame your father. I'm the same way when it comes to blaming my mother.battynursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240029154165501340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685829644342774032.post-44095262321858529782010-06-11T10:03:05.189-04:002010-06-11T10:03:05.189-04:00I have abandonment issues and am a worrier too. xo...I have abandonment issues and am a worrier too. xoxoxoBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067045642285877560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685829644342774032.post-5460526140737163652010-06-10T22:32:57.765-04:002010-06-10T22:32:57.765-04:00Oh dear, you are NOT crazy (or, at least if you ar...Oh dear, you are NOT crazy (or, at least if you are then I am too!).<br /> :)<br /><br />I have many of these same fears, my biggest one being facing the future alone. I'm terrified that something will happen to my husband. Just a few weeks ago I couldn't contact him by phone, text, or email and I went into a panic! Turns out he was in a meeting in an auditorium with no cell phone reception... I felt like a crazy lady.<br /><br />Anyway, I totally understand. I can relate to worrying about never having children and/or losing your spouse, and I can also relate to blaming these fears on an absent father.<br /><br />I think it's normal to worry but we have to focus on not letting it take control over our lives. This is something I struggle with, too.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939987028726182741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685829644342774032.post-53542127892762413322010-06-10T18:17:38.358-04:002010-06-10T18:17:38.358-04:00I am the exact same way.

And I'm paranoid that someone is going to break in-which is why we got a dog...I think I watch too much dateline but whatever, I want to know what murderers are up to these days.<br /><br />lol my response sounds crazy! woot!Melis.sahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383636143112620937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685829644342774032.post-12841587335791570412010-06-10T11:40:59.445-04:002010-06-10T11:40:59.445-04:00wow, are you my twin???
Because of my dad always ...wow, are you my twin??? <br />Because of my dad always "leaving" us (saying he would) when i was little and dying suddenly of a Heart attack when I was 26 I have SERIOUS abandonment issues too...BLAME THE DADDY. <br /><br />I worry that I'll die, that John will die, that we'll be "THAT STORY" on the news, internet etc...that the headache will turn into a migraine that turns into a Bret Michaels story. I swear I do exactly the same thing. I worry when I see stories about sudden deaths, like I have no control over life, how can I have control over STUFF I DON'T have control over..right? <br /><br />I want to tell you to NOT worry, but hey that's easy for me to say ...so I just wanted you to know that you're not alone in your worry and if that makes you feel a little better...knowing I might too, be up worrying at 4am just like you are...then I'll offer that with my friendship. <br /><br />I SOOOOO GET YOU. <br />HUGSKirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17894442143508446312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685829644342774032.post-69615841193481693312010-06-10T11:02:27.232-04:002010-06-10T11:02:27.232-04:00Oh hun- I do this too.

Worry worry worry- yes being a mother is a huge fear, but being left totally alone... losing my husband... scares me much worse, especially right now because it's just us. We're all we really have.<br /><br />I totally get that.<br /><br />Sometimes I play through scenarios and give myself new reasons to worry. Him just going to work or the store worries me. I don't let it rule my life, I get on with everything, but I am constantly worrying.AnotherDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487881766884178761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685829644342774032.post-11336921025503951132010-06-10T04:15:57.097-04:002010-06-10T04:15:57.097-04:00This is not crazy at all to worry & be crazy a...This is not crazy at all to worry & be crazy about it - our fears and feelings make us human. <br />I worry about many things fearing the worst for all the time but always hope for the best.

Before we had our oldest, I was terrified that something would happen to my hubby while at work (he was a firefighter) and I wouldn't even have his child to remember him by. Our minds love playing games with us. {{{Hugs}}}Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10791317184998122691noreply@blogger.com
