Dear mam
I can imagine it must be quite distressing for you.
Persistent negetive thoughts, fear that something bad might happen, feeling restless and on the edge most of the time can occur in mental health problems like depression or anxiety. Please see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation to understand what is causing these symptoms.treatment depends on the outcome of assessment and usually consists of medications as well as psychological therapy. Apart from this, you will benefit from regular exercise, meditation and yoga.
Please do not hesitate to seek professional help.
Thanks
