i have these same fears and often have nightmares about my kids , esp when i have a bad day and DD wont sleep and DS chucks major tanites . at the end of the day im mad at my babies . thats when the nightmares are worse . lately its been so much of a bad problem that i could be in the middle of something and then a flash in my mind brings up awful images of my childeren being hurt.

I am an anx. OCD adn PND sufferer and lately its such a burden i think i have to do something about it . DOnt let the thoughts get too bad , or dont let it consume you , its almost taking over my life atm . to the point where i hardly sleep as im checking on my kids all the time .

I was talking to a nurse whom i admitted my fears to and she said to me that i have 2 healthy kids , so anything spontaneoulsy happening is very slight ... so now when i panic in the middle of the night i have to repeat affirmations to my self that my kids are healthy and strong .

the thoughts are not nice and combined with my over active imagination , the fears of mine are usually CSI style and most unlikely to happen , but that doesnt stop me from panicinkg about them

if you feel the emotions/fears are taking over too much , talk to someone like a nurse/councillor and the ladies here on BB .. xxxx
