[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 589149, member: 13542"] Awww, JKF, I've done that kind of catastrophizing too, it comes with the challenges of mothering our kids and it is so stressful, I hear you. I understand you will be doing this to some degree for awhile, but you might consider interrupting those thoughts in various ways........go to the gym, take a walk, do yoga, meditate, get an acupuncture appointment, take a bath, get that massage today and one method I know that can work for shifting the thinking is when you are in the midst of the worry thoughts, think of things you are grateful for, make a mental list of gratitude, that shifts you into a different brain pattern and begins to create some calm. You may have to do it a number of times, but it can help. If any of the what if's do actually occur, you know you can handle them when it happens. Right now, in this moment, he is okay. As always, I wish you peace and send gentle hugs your way............ [/QUOTE]
