Catastrophising

Hi there, does anyone have fears about awful things happening, particularly during off time.

Worried about kids at university and or walking home alone.

I find myself asking my post graduate daughter to text me when she gets home. I hate doing this but get huge relief when I get the text.

I know this due to pd/meds but how can I stop this visceral worrying? Any tips welcome.

Thanks.

Pd diagnosed eleven years.
