Answers:
Definitely OCD!. Obsessive compulsive disorder!. Those kinds of things are obsessive irrational thoughts!. They're not true!. You may require some treatment depending on how much it affects your life!. If you look inside yourself, you'll honestly be able to tell yourself it's irrational!. I know this because I've got the disorder and studied it significantly for almost a year!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i have had this same problem!.!.!.since i was about 8, and im now 21!. i have never goten help for it but i can tell you your not the only one!. i first noticed it when i was little and i would watch the movie My Girl, whenever the part where Thomas J is in his casket at his funeral i would always squeeze my eyes closed tight and hum so i couldnt see or hear it!. i also found that is my little sister was in the room while a scene like this was on i would try to talk to her and distract her until it was over!.!.!. not only because it disturbed me but i felt that i was somehow protecting her from feeling the way i did!. after this i started constantly worrying about family members either getting hurt badly or dieing!. i would think how will i go on without them and how will it affect the others in my family!. there was even a period of time when i was younger that every night i would pray at bedtime that God takes me before he takes my parents because i dont think i could deal without them!. i hope you find something to help you with this problem! i know that its something that can become very stressful and overwhelming!Www@Answer-Health@Com
