I am not really sure if this relates to health anxiety or not, but I can't get the idea that something horrible is going to happen to my boyfriend while he is away.
He is only going to a little town just outside Newcastle to visit his friend who moved there a few months ago, there are 4 of them going and they are not even going out clubbing etc so I really shouldn't be worrying, I am just petrified that he is going to be so far away, and I am convinced he is going to be in some sort of accident.
As I am typing this I can see that I am being ridiculous, but I know I won't relax until he is back home on Sunday. It is not that I am worried about what he is going to be getting up to - they are sitting in his friends parents house with a few drinks, probably watching football and playing the x bow while eating takeaways and drinking beer, being typical boys. I am more worried about the journey to and from Newcastle (it is not even that far, we live just outside Glasgow!)
It is the longest we have been apart since a few months after meeting, and it is the first weekend in 2 years I haven't spent with him.
I have made lots of plans to keep myself occupied, I am going out with friends tonight and tomorrow night, going to book a week away for me and my boyfriend on Saturday then going shopping with my mum, and then meeting another friend on Sunday, but i know i will still worry.
My boyfriend is also stressing about the idea of me going into Glasgow with my friends and him not being close by if i need him.
I know it sounds as though we have trust issues, but we really don't. It is just the car journey and him being so far away. My friends all think i am beig ridiculous, they do not understand what it is like to be convinced something bad will happen.
Does anyone else worry like this? How do i get a grip and man up?
