Worried about my mum

I find i worry all the time, mostly about the future and my own health. I suffer badly from health anxiety. But I've got GAD and it causes me to worry chronically about most things.

Lately I've become increasingly worried about my mum. She's in her mid fifties and her memory is very bad. I went in to town with my mum a week ago and she couldn't remember which way it was to get to certain shops.

And earlier in the year she took me to the doctor's but she doesn't remember even going and can't remember the doctor's name or anything.

My Gran, her Mum had Alzheimer's disease and I'm terrified that my Mum now has it. I don't know what to do, whether I should say anything or if I'm overthinking it.

I love my Mum so much and I'm terrified of her getting sick or worse than that.

A few years ago I was detained for mental health reasons and it was after this when I first noticed her memory wasn't quite so good and she can be distant.

I feel responsible.
