A lot of the women I know do this constantly. To some extent, I think it's perfectly acceptable. But frankly, from what you're describing, I think you ought to calm down a little bit. My mother is awful about this, and my grandmothers are even worse.
We all have our moments (I remember a few times off the top of my head where I had something I wouldn't be afraid to call an anxiety attack, chest pains included), but I think you should try to remind yourself how rarely the things you worry about actually happen. Sure, it's possible your loved one isn't calling because he/she got into a car accident, but a) the odds are incredibly low, and perhaps more importantly, b) worrying will solve absolutely nothing. Again, anxiety is a normal human emotion, and it serves its purpose here and there, but you shouldn't let it dominate your life.
Is it normal I actlike this if I cant get hold of a person?
