In a weeks' time, my daughter will be leaving for university, she will be living away from home. We are very close and she is beautiful and caring daugher and very level headed. Whilst I know it is normal as a parent to feel anxious mine is extreme. I had a major case of anxiety just over a year ago when my dad died when I ended up on Citalopram for 6 months. Since then I've been doing really well, now it just seems like a black cloud has come over me. I wake up in floods of uncontrollable tears, I feel like I am choking and am even thinking about death or dying. I would just like to hear from other parents who are going through or have been through the same fears. Thanks for reading this.
