When I was 18 I was involved in a accident which caused the death of someone. I was found completely not at fault I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. This was really hard for me get past.. But I did..
Since then I have gotten married, had children and we were really happy until just under two years ago a completely different incident occurred which has greatly affected my family financially.
I think this incident has tipped my over the edge... I feel like anything could happen to anyone at anytime and there's nothing you can do about it. Because of this I am extremely cautious of what my family does incase something were to happen to them. I feel like I have warrant to be extra careful and that it's a normal to want to try keep everyone around me safe... I must be in control of the situation or we- my family must get out of there.
My husband thinks I have issues, he thinks I cannot live my life worring all the time and that these events have changed me.
I agree they have!!
I guess my question is do I have warrant to be extra cautious for my family?
Do I need help?
I know I have been unhappy since the most recent even but I think it's because of the stress I have been under! Any advice would be helpful! TIA :-)

It sounds like you're suffering anxiety, I'd suggest you have a chat with your gp and find a psych in your area. I also suffer anxiety and I know how hard it is, I'm also very overly cautious.
Have a chat with your GP they will give you a questionnaire to fill in that will make it clear if this is something that needs treating. I think though if your husband is struggling with it then treatment is probably warranted
Defiantly doesn't hurt to have a chat to your gp and go from there. It does sound like you could possibly need to see a psych.
