Obsessing

Star

My mum is terminally ill and I don’t know what to do. I know I can’t do anything to stop her health from declining but I keep obsessing on things I can do to stop her from getting worse. Over thinking is my biggest problem and my mum being so sick is one of my worst nightmares come true. I’ve been trying to distract myself but it’s hard. I keep thinking about my mum and what will happen to her in the end.

  • I am sorry to hear you are going through this.  My Mum passed away some time ago, and it was a bad time, even though we had a unconventional relationship.  

    I clearly don't know the details, but there are various organisations that can offer support, sometimes depending on what may be wrong with your Mum, and it may also be an idea that you think about either speaking with your GP or approaching Primary Care for some talking therapy to work through some of these thoughts. 

    These times aren't easy for anyone, so please don't think it is particular to you, or you are to blame in some way - there's no particular right or wrong way to handle this.
