how can i stop being like a paranoid overprotective mother?
it doesnt happen too often but sometimes when my bunny Rosie is laying a certain way i get paranoid and think something happened to her so i walk over to the cage only to find she was just sleeping. i end up waking her. but for some reason i dont worry about Amanda..i guess because shes not even a year old yet
today i actually worried about Emily my puppy. she was laying behind the exercise bike and i thought she got her head stuck. geez my heart went to my toes. i actually made her angry when i went up to her to check and see if shes ok.
its crazy right? Emilys a puppy and even tho Rosies an adult, shes not even that old (shes about 3 yrs old i think) so i shouldnt be worrying so much.
i know this is probly a useless question since theres probly no way i can stop but also is there anybody else like this with their pet when theyre not even that old.
worrying about them is natural since theyre your family but is it normal when the worry is to the degree of paranoid
i suppose i worry about Rosie more because ive lost so many rabbits in the past and i worry it'll happen again.
oops, i mean lost the rabbits at a pretty young age

Sounds like a form of OCD. I also can do this from time to time and recognized OCD in other behaviors i have. As long as you recognize it for what it is and it's not having a negative impact on your life, you're fine. if you have other questions, the psychology section would probably provide more answers.

I get the impression you still live at home. There are numerous things that can go wrong. Your Mom had seen more than you and she understands that the real world is not always safe. •It makes you feel bad that you lie. •Suggest that you don't lie to her, it will damage your relationship. •You may want to give her time to get use to your growing up. •When you are a Mom, you'll get it. Good Luck!
