What's happening to me?

I'm asking this because it's happening right this minute and it's been going on for the past few years.

My dads out at the minute, and every time he goes out I ALWAYS think something bad will happen. I get paranoid that he's been hurt and theres nothing I can do about it. Sometimes I tell myself that if I can hold my breath for like a minute without breathing at all, then he'll be okay. Then even after that I still go mad with worry.

I do it every time one of my parents is out, and it annoys the other when I do it because I'm constantly trying to ring them. Then, if like now, they won't pick up the phone I end up terrified that they've been hurt. Like at the minute hes not picking up his phone and I hate having no idea where he is, so I'm panicing and stupid as it may sound, I'm terrified someones attacked him or he's hurt.

What is this?

I do that same exact thing! but I'm sorry, I don't knwo why it happens... if you do find out, let me know because I would like to know.

Who knows. Maybe you just care about them or you have been in some sort of dream where this has happened and you can't make yourself forget it. I think that it's just some form of care lol.

If your parents don't already know, tell them - I would also consult your family Dr for a professional opinion/reccomendation...I wish you the best !!

 
You are at an age where your body and mind are going through changes which are strange to you and not understood by you. This tends to give you a feeling of lack of control over things involving you giving you a sense of insecurity.

This insecurity carries over into the people you care about. When they are out of your sight you become insecure in their welfare. Your mind is letting you judge their safety based upon the 'negatives' that exist in the world rather than the 'positives' of the world which, in reality, far outweigh the negatives.

You must counter this insecurity you have by always thinking POSITIVE and reminding yourself that, logically, good things are more apt to come your way then bad things. AND, that when an occasional bad thing does come your way, you and your relatives are mature and knowledgeable enough to be able to deal with it creating a positive outcome.

It's your life. You do have control. Think positive, be positive and do positive.

It sounds like anxiety attacks. Have your parents take you in for evaluation. If they are anxiety attacks you will not be able to control them without professional help.
Good Luck!!

thanks everyone for your opinions

have you ever gone through any traumatic xperiences with anything which may have triggered this fear?
