I relate to this. I'm a huge worrier. I worry mainly about loose dogs in my neighborhood. This is a huge fear because a pit bull got loose 2 summers ago and it bit my mom in my driveway. The day before, it started running down the street at me and my maltipoo. I grabbed my dog and hurled a huge planter at it and managed to get in the house.
This was before I got my Yorkie Jake.
Now I worry about loose dogs and I worry about Jake because he's always sick with tummy issues. He has colitis and all his blood work is fine and he's healthy and playful otherwise, but I still worry he will never be 100%
I worry that I'm paying too much attention to his issues and neglecting my maltipoo.
I basically have to let it go and give it up to God. I tell myself I have to be strong for them because they are totally dependent on me, and I'm doing the best I can for them, and I'm sure you are too.
You sound like a very concerned loving mommy.
There's actually a video called 'How to stop worrying' on YouTube. It's by Actualized.Org and it helped me, you could look that up. (Sorry I don't know how to post links.) |
