Yes anxiety is genetic. I use to think these things as a kid. I was 24 before I realized those weren’t normal child thoughts lol

anxiety is 100% genetic... my 2 oldest girls have it unfortunately and it manifested about the same time mine did as a child. I hate it for them so much.

Anxiety is 100% genetic. My youngest showed signs of it starting very young probably around 2-3 but at 10 it’s clear as day.

I would def have a talk with him about anxiety and that you have it too (normalizing these thoughts) and talk through some things that have helped you & what might help him

Anxiety is definitely genetic… but it’s also “learned” I’ve had to learn to keep a lid on mine when my kids are around because they definitely pick up on it. I have terrible weather anxiety and when my youngest was 7 we were driving to school in a thunderstorm and she said “mommy, can we just turn around before that cloud gets us… mommy, I’m literally a pin on a needle” because she had heard me say “I’m on pins and needles”

I was diagnosed with anxiety and OCD last year and this sounds like my constant thoughts 😔 I’m always thinking the worst scenarios and then have anxiety about them actually happening…

I used to think like this as a kid, I thought it was normal to always be picturing horrible things happening. I never told anyone though because I thought if I said it out loud it would actually happen 😬

If he is a tv watcher, make sure he isn’t watching anything like this! It’s crazy how they sneak that stuff into kid shows!!

Anxiety is absolutely genetic. I would say around 4-6 I noticed it getting real for my son. He eventually went to counseling and that helped a bit. It’s so hard to raise a kid with anxiety bc I’m like “I know, what if buddy?! I worry about that too”. I obviously do not tell him that!!! 😂

I’m not sure if children can get diagnosed, but as someone who has OCD, this sounds like OCD.

I convinced my parents I was asthmatic….it was the early 2000s, all because I would wake up gasping for air and unable to breath to the point of turning blue from night terrors (I didn’t know what those were until my 20s) prob a little asthmatic but how it was found was..✨anxiety✨

Hey don’t worry. When I was in elementary I wrote a story for class about someone breaking into my house and 💀everyone but me…. This was in the 90s and we lived in a small town so we don’t have any school counselors to talk to me about it lol.

My 6yr old asked me if I would be sad if he went to jail. He had tears in his eyes asking me this. Found out he saw a video of a little girl in jail without her mommy and she was sad 🤦♀

My anxiety started in the first grade. I don’t know what that says about me, but it’s absolutely genetic because my mom has crippling anxiety too.

My daughter has bad anxiety came out of no where. She fears something bad is gonna happen all the time. I took her to the neurologist and it’s definitely genetic.
