I fall asleep well on a night but come about 4am I start to either dream or wake easy and then my mind goes on the rampage. Well my eldest has a bad cough and suffers from asthma. Why oh why do I wake thinking the worse thoughts possible. I have to fight myself and try to concentrate on the here and now. I usually end up losing the battle with my mind and getting up at stupid o'clock to engage my mind in some internet surfing. Anyhow I have this rising feeling of panic when my mind starts and I can feel all the usual symptoms of panic taking over. The question I always come back to is, Am I worrying unduly or is my worry and panic useful in any way? I feel not. If I could just control the panicky feelings may be I could be more constructive and deal with my sons illness in a calm and coping way.
Does anyone suffer the same way. I find I panic even if I feel something is wrong with my families health even if the say nothings wrong.
