Since 6 months, I get into some worries about what would happen if I am not there, or if some one cheat my children, or if my children fall sick, who will take care in my absence, whether my wife can take care and how does my children take care of my business, family and grow well healthy and wealthy without loosing the wealth created by us. Do they get cheated if I have not updated about the followup, renewals, or get into wrong hands or action by some jealous people etc. Do they get married to a person with good family back ground and enjoy the life with good earning etc. And this disturbs my sleep at night often. Is this due to my house shifting last year still settling though I am 61 years and have normal BP, Sugar under control with one tablet each, ankylosing spondylitis and having severe cough problem most of the days.

I am not talking about the medical issues but having concern about the future of your family is because of a human being's need for survival and there is nothing wrong with it. Problem is when the thoughts overpower us and affects daily routine which is what seems to be happening in your case now. So to begin resolving the issue- it will be good idea to sort all documents, organise and keep everything in place and inform your family/ trusted people about it. Have you thought about making a will? About other things that are worrying you- one strategy that might help is to think of the worst case scenario. You have survived and most likely your family members will too. Once you know the worst that can happen and you are prepared for it, the present will not remain so disturbing. If these thoughts still trouble you, please reach out to a psychologist. I wish you well.
