26 Answers
I've no idea where to put this question, so sorry if this is the wrong place.
Are there any over protective parents out there?
my kids are 19 and 17 ive always been over protective since my kids were born, they both had small health problems when they were born, you'd think as they've got older id have calmed but nope, and im just getting more ridiculous, if they travel more than say 10 miles away from home i get extremely anxious to the point of having a panic attack. I've had years of councilling but to no avail. I did feel like id got a lot better but recently my son's been suffering with a mental health issues and all the old anxieties have come back, i can't continue like this, i feel like im suffocating them and feel so guilty, they know to answer their phones immediately because they know ill panic if they dont. this can't go on, please as anyone any advice? is there any other parent feel like this? x

I'm not 'presuming' anything. I worked in mental health long enough to know not to presume anything.
Reading Jonah's posts she knows she has a problem, she doesn't want to feel guilty, she doesn't want to put this on her kids, she knows she has to let go....she just needs to find a way of doing it. Various methods have been explored and haven't worked.
Yeah...go to the GP...but be prepared to wait...counselling and mental health issues places are in short supply.
