Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.

 

You may want to speak with your doctor. Anxiety is considered an irrational and consistent fear. If your cousin has done nothing that would cause you fear, then there would no cause for your feelings. Discuss your experiences with your doctor or mental health provider. He or she would be better able to determine if you need additional medical care or an evaluation.

 

Your doctor should also compelte a physical examination to make sure there are no underlying physical causes for your fears.
