    That must have been awful for you Wanty, not surprised you have anxiety about your children. :kiss:

    I can honestly say it is the worst feeling ever, I wouldn't wish it on the worst person in the world. It was hell.

    Esp when they thought he had been abducted and I overheard on the radio they were following someone who had put a child in the car matching his description!

    I have also had someone think its fun to keep phoning social services on me, every time they come out they say everything is fine and they think its just a prank caller, but in my head I keep thinking they will get fed up with it or think there is something worse going on and just take the boys.

    I constanly check the door is locked, run home from the school run if I leave little one at home with OH etc.

    I think i am going to go to the docs on Monday cos seeing it written down is making me realise it really isn't healthy to feel that obsessive about it.

    the anxiety is different than depression - total opposites. The anxiety is easily dealt with, it has no lasting effects.

    Take less diaretics, read, walk, generally relax. Basically think of way that would calm you down. There are good pills out there for it, I'll get the name for the one I was precribed.

    Sounds like a good plan, and a positive way to start the new year. xxx

    The person is always anon. They did tell me that if they carry on being anon then they will soon stop acting on their calls. Its always for stupd reasons as well.

    One time was actually because I was seen naked in my house! Another was because my little one didn't have trousers on when he was in the house (we were potty training). Another time was the little one was seen looking out the window more than the caller thought was normal.

    Sorry didn't see this. I don't have any diaretics, I only drink fruit juice or milk. I read loads! I walk if I can muster the strengh to do it (seems like to much hard work some days) and relax? I try, I think my internet in the evening is my way of relaxing.

    !!!!!! some idiot is obviously watching you - the anon calling is traceable unless they are using a new payg mobile unregistered, but that is even traceable by area.

    from what you said, it sounds like the caller is opposite you. I'd call the police

    Nah not opposite us, there is only one house opposite and they are good friends. I have it pinned down to a few people like a woman round the corner who is just a moo and next door who is a busybody. Although to be honest, so long as social services are happy I am. Just gives them a middle finger everytime social services walk away happy.

    someone is watching you and that's not right, whether it's an old bag or a peado. It needs to be sorted, it's !!!!!!! with your head.
