Irrational fears
please help!!
Does anyone else get irrational worries and fears,
like when your dad doesn't come home from work when you think he will and you can't get hold of him?
or when your boyfriend doesn't text back, isn't online, and doesn't answer you calls and you can't think why?
Am I the only one who starts worrying way too much and thinking that something horrible has happened? it juist freaks me out. my imagination goes crazy. It's wearing me out and I'm considering getting help.

i know exactly what you mean. i worry when my mum doesn't come home, i worry when i have a headache that its a brain tumour, i worry that i'm pregnant even though i'm a virgin, i worry thata family member will get cancer and i'll have to drop out of uni, etc etc they're COMPLETELY IRRATIONAL but i can't stop thinking them 
Oh! Someone else? i was beginning to think i was a complete freak. My worries are confined to thinking that people close to me are in danger, when i'm not with them, but they can get very real and stop me from enjoying myself/ concentrating on work. have yo found any way of dealing with them?
Also why do we feel the need to be anonymous? for me it was cos last time i posted about this, people accusied me of being to controlling of my boyfriend and of being a pathetic loser etc. I thought maybe anonymously, i might get better answers.

I completley understand as well...I tend to get panic attacks...mostly for academic related things...but its pretty bad. i can get so panicked that i can bareley think. i don't like to but sometimes i really need to take something to calm me down. its not a heavy medicine but it makes me feel better. my fears are completley irrational and i know...but its like being scared of the dark.
You should see how bad is it before you get help. it could also be just a phase where you are particularly stressed.

no i haven't found any way of dealing with them but they do consume my thoughts a hell of a lot of the time. less so when i'm busy and at uni, but this christmas holiday has been hell with my stupid worries all over the place. and my mum has told me she's found a breast lump and is getting tested and all that so im v v v v v v anxious about that 
i want to be anon because i feel like a bit of a freak thinking all this stuff and don't want people to know who i am.

Rather than 'fear' this can be attributed to anxiety. If you're worried about where your relatives might be, always speak to them about it beforehand and ask them to get a mobile phone so that they can contact you.
Regarding academic work, anxiety/stress affects a significant number of people and the best way to deal with these issues is to organise your work schedule so that you have time to do all your work, have time for relaxation and also eat/drink/sleep properly.

OMG i have exactly the same thing. Sometimes i even find myself worrying myself to death at night over absolutely nothing so i dont sleep. And do you ever get that "worried" feeling in your stomach when you just dont know what your worried about. Sometimes I worry so much about work that I dont get round to doing it.
Yesterday my dad didnt come home the time he usually does from work and he wasnt picking up his mobile which he always has on him. I called up his office and they said hed left earlier with a "gentleman". Spent the next couple of hours watching TV in the living room so I could watch out the window for him to come home!
Ive found that just doing something to help take your mind off it works...listening to music, smoking (for me lol) etc.

No but seriously Ive been panicly like this for about my whole teenage life and ive only really smoked for about 2 years. And it seems to calm me down.

thats odd u dont seem to be panicking about the fact that smoking is bad for u in a number of ways, surely that would be a rational fear?
As someone said above I worry more about what might happen to the people close to me rather than myself. And the point is that these are Irrational fears.
But if you're up for smoker bashing - pound me.

leave onlylittleme alone!!!! i hate it when people start lecturing me for smoking...He knows its wrong, i know its wrong.
They also say that most people that smoke pot have a higher percentage of being skizofrenic when they grow older.
Thats kind of random...but its sort of on topic.

I'm glad to hear that there are others like me. My boyfriend is away at the moment which is making things worse when i can't contact him. But i've been hanging out with my friend all evening which has helped a lot. I just need my mind taking off it.

I can't believe how many people there are like this. I'm a bit better now, but used to worry constantly - especially about my parents. There was nothing that could distract me, at all.

yes, i have that with my boyfriend more than anyone. i like to know what he is doing and where he is all the time, and when he doesn't answer the phone, and isn't on msn, i start thinking things. then because i keep phoning andtrying to get in contact, he thinks i am being clingy and obsessive.
i don't know how to stop it. please tell me how you get on.
plus - i don't have anything to take my mind off it. i don't have many friends, and i'm normally just sitting on the internet waiting for him.
i'm going to have a nervous breakdown when he goes to uni..
I don't know if this will help, but what 'cured' me was quite random. I went on holiday, and my mobile wouldn't work for some reason! It meant that for 5 days I couldn't contact anyone at home, unless I trekked to the payphone over a mile away. Suppose it was kind of initiation by fire, but I was a lot better after that.

Actually pretty much everyone gets irrational fears like them from time to time,
its not really a problem unless it becomes a obsession, or appear to effect your judgment of pretty much anything or anyone.
Remember to try and think about things reallistically before you react, easier said than done i know, but its doable
