Hello thanks for asking from HCM

I can understand your concern. Due to death of your husband you have developed fear of safety of your son and this fear is getting out of proportion and resulting in anxiety. The negative thoughts about the safety of your son when he is out could be occurring due to anxiety only.

Anticipation that something bad would happen results in anxiety. This anxiety is probably compelling you to call him to enquire about his safety. These are part of anxiety. If you don't want to take medicines then behaviour therapy can become a good option. Behaviour therapy will help to reduce the symptoms.

Thanks and Take care
