Lately everytime my mom is away from me I get worried about her and get scared that somthing can happen to her and she would die. Also somtimes when I think about this I get like small panic attacks. I really hate it because I can't go hang out with my friends like I want to because I'll start to feel this way and get very homesick even if I'm like at a friends house a few mins. Away for a sleep over or somthing, I'll still get very homesick.
Like 6 yrs ago my parents divorced and my dad moved out and that's when this all started. Around that time I hated being left alone and I would get panic attacks and worry about my mom all the time. I even was worried at school and the only time I didn't worry was when I was preoccupied but the minute I had noting to do I'd feel that way again. But they eventually went away. I used to see my dad often until he moved to japan awhile ago. But now i've started worrying again. I love my mom and I don't want her to die and I'm always scared she will when Im not around like when she is driving or at the store ect. I'm young and I don't no what to do but I want it all to stop so I can have a life again. And I don't want to lose my mom............ Any tips/ is this normal

    It sounds like you're suffering from mild/medium anxiety, probably seperation anxiety.

    Maybe trying to explain to your mom how you feel will help a little, so that she knows you're scared and can try to help you.

    I feel the same sometimes about my mum, I get scared something bad will happen and she won't be here anymore but I know it's my own anxiety problems causing me to think irrationally.

    I hope you feel better soon though. :)
