last saturday, my bf went to spend the night at a friend's. okay. then sunday afternoon i call him to hang out like we always do and he said we could this weekend but didn't answer. okay, maybe he wasn't home yet. i called probably 5 times between noon and 9 p.m. and he never answered. i was freaking out. i thought maybe something horrible had happened. (here's my problem so pay attention) i thought the worse immediately like a car accident, a robbery, or anything worse (i even almost considered avoidance, or cheating, but then i remembered who i was talking about). i always think the worst and it was driving me insane with worry, reason completely left behind me.

is that like an anxiety issue??? idk, maybe a control issue too??? my sister sort of had it after a traumatizing experience, but that makes sense, i never had anything like that. but we're a lot alike in many ways (personality and even body frame/type)

but then this weekend, i knew he was going to stay the night at a friend's and that we wouldn't hang out today and i was/am perfectly fine...is that like a control issue to you, i was fine cause i knew where he was?

idk how else to explain it....any ideas? anyone else like this???

I think it is a control issue!! You wanted to know where he was and what is was doing.
You don't seem to have a problem when you know where he is and what he is doing. Control,  huh?

hmmm...maybe i should have explained a little more. i don't need to know exact who, what, where, when why...just that he's with a friend and he's okay. i didn't know that for sure last week and it freaked me out...and he doesn't have a cell phone to boot...this week i knew he's be out with friends all weekend and he'd be fine and i was okay

that's why i don't consider myself controlling, it just scares me sometimes...the way i act like that freaked out
