How often do you have thoughts like these?

I have all of these thoughts, multiple times a day, every day.

It used to be worse, specifically the images of my kids dying. That went down after I took Zoloft and they got out of the baby stage.

I still worry every day about me or one of them or DH dying.

I honestly thought this was just part of being human and being blessed with people I love so absolutely-of course you’re going to think about it all being taken away in an instant.

I have these thoughts a few times a week. Lately I've been worried about a specific genetic condition that may or may not be affecting both kids (we haven't had them evaluated yet). I think these are normal thoughts of a concerned and informed parent. They don't interfere with my sleep or daily life, so I've never considered medication, but if they did, I would.

OP, I especially wonder when the other shoe will drop because I feel I have been SO, SO LUCKY in life up to this point. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in that feeling.

What a nice comment. I, too, am glad to not be alone!
