Hi Lillibell,
I to have that same feeling when my children are sick. I always tend to think the worse and will often think that they are going to get very sick and possibly die. I now try to tell myself that everything is fine and they will surrvive. We have all been sick as kids. I do know how you feel and it is hard sometimes.

I'm dealing with this anxiety right now. Its literally debilitating. My 4 year old son threw up Thursday night, didn't sleep at all... woke up friday, ate, played, then he got really tired, took a nap, then played some more... slept all night... woke up this morning, played, ate a little... then was pretty tired all day... then tonight, he played,ate, was having fun... my anxiety was slowly going away... then BAM, he says his belly hurts, the throws up!!!!!! My mom thinks its just a stomach bug, but i cant stop thinking that this is the beginning of something very serious.

I'm a few.weeks into talk therapy, and its not helping yet. Im so relieved that im.not the only one that gets "crazy" when her kid gets sick
