Worrying about .. Mum

[smit]

I feel a panic attack comming on . Wonderfull . Let's get this off my chest and see if it helps . I can't help worrying about mums health . She's had cancer ( she's 62) and that's kinda getting better . But now she's getting forgetful and it frightens me far more than cancer ever has ... It would be the worst thing ever if she got dementia etc , it would be like watching are minder of a dead person every day , slowly forgetting how she is.
Obviously I'm not going to say anything like this to her but I can't help worrying every time she forgets a conversation , or anything etc .

I know it's natural to worry to some extent but I need to stop distressing myself . Urg . Has anyone encountered h.a where it's Been projected into other people before ? How did you deal with it ?

Hi Smit,

I also have worries about various family members, most stupid and irrational. I haven't come up with a way to get rid of my worries as of yet, my medication and therapy has helped quite a bit.

Sorry i cant be of more help just wanted you to know your not the only one.
