Freak out

Its only been an hour or 2 and I'm freaking out. Ive lost count of the times Ive opened my phone just to see if I had a text message, even though I know its not even turned on! But what if i did? What if it was important? Or just a friend saying hello. What if somebody is worried cause I haven't replied? Thinking about it now I should have notified my friends and family that I was doing this! The worst thing I've just considered is turning my phone on in a few weeks and not having any messages at all! Gutted.....
