My SIL just lost her husband in a car accident. Well, not just, but about a year ago. I was really shaken up and definitely on edge about my own husband's safety. I was surprised that my anxiety has just started to occur over this situation. I find myself having nightmares about my husband dying or being hurt, and every morning before he leaves for work, and every evening before he comes home, I find myself overcome with panic. I know it is ridiculous of me, but I truly do not feel like he is safe anymore. I do trust him, but I do not trust others. Since we live in a college town, I am always cautious driving, since obviously drunken college kids are all around. I do not like it when he drives anymore, and I can't help but feel every time he does I am one step closer to facing the tragedy my SIL has. I haven't told my husband about my anxiety, as it wouldn't change things. I can only hope for the best and pray to god what happened to the SIL will not happen to me, or anyone else for that matter.

I am tried of losing sleep over it, and I am even more tired of being completely irrational, IMO. I don't think I need therapy, but I do need some tactics to keep myself sane. I am driving myself crazy with the anxiety I never felt before and I don't think I should feel. Any help is greatly appreciated.
