Keep getting upset over my mom's death even though she isn't dead
Every so often, for no reason, I get the feeling that my mom is dead and when that feeling comes over me, I get upset and am very close to bursting into tears. The strange thing is, my mom isn't dead and she isn't dying. She's alive and well but, for reasons I can never explain, the thought of her dead just pops into my head from time to time and I get upset and try to push such a horrendous feeling out of my head but, it doesn't help until I actually see my mom standing in the kitchen or in the living room watching TV. Only when I see her does this terrible feeling subside.
Thats a symptom of an underlying problem. The fear of abandonment.
I'm not sure how that's possible since my mom's in her 70's, I'm in my early 40's and my mom wouldn't be able to abandon me by any means necessary.
