I think I need help..

I would constantly worry of the safety of my loved ones. I would worry that something that would cause their lives would happen. I hate it when Amed goes to work with his motorbike, I hate it when Sarah does to, I worried when mak travel to other place further than her office let's say to Kedah maybe, I hate it when I had to endure the pain of waiting for them to text or call me to say that they have safely arrived. I feel the need for them to text me or call me at the very moment they are about to leave and the moment they arrive. I had lost two important person in my life. My father and uncle and both died in tragic accidents. I found it really hard to let my loved ones go on the road for fear something would happen. I really need help.

I watched The Oprah Winfrey Show just now, and I saw four persons who have faced one of the hardest phases in their lives. A woman has lost his son and husband in a plane crash. Another woman, saw her father killed her mom and later witnessed him commited suicides in front of her very eyes. They have succeeded battling with themselves and proven to see things from different angles and positively. They could easily give up, screw up their lives, be mad at God and what not. But they chose to see things differently, they chose to be optimistic and forgiving. I know that life does not always go in the way you always wanted and planned to be. But what I didn't know that, I should not worry of what might happen. It is not so much on the WHAT and WHY the worst things happened. It is more on HOW one is gonna deal with it as Oprah said. They have opened up my eyes in a sense that, you will at least face the hardest phase of your life once, regardless of losing your loved ones, battling with diseases, facing financial crisis or what not. I know that life is no strolling in the park and anything would happen but please don't worry too much on something that hasn't happen yet. I feel like I'm acting like a guard or something that they need to report when they're leaving and once they have arrived.

Me wanting them to text me saying that they have arrived is perfectly OK I think. What worries me is that, can I let them be on the road without feeling anxious, scared, and worry even before they text or call me saying they have safely arrive? Can I feel at ease by letting them go and thinking that everything will be fine. Can I not think of the bad things that might happen? Can I not feel like calling them 24/7 just so I know everything is perfectly fine?I need to talk to someone. I need to feel that I'm doing the right thing or am I having somekind of illness or OCD? Allah please help me...
