Answers:
Yes, as the first poster said, this sounds like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder!. Just to elaborate a little, this mental illness causes people to make bizarre associations like the ones you mention and then perform rituals, often to prevent bad things from happening!.
We aren't doctors, so go see one!. Don't worry, it's a common mental illness and doesn't make you a freak and can be treated!. If you cut yourself really badly, please get help for you wounds!.
Best of luck, dear!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah, it's ocd!.
You form rituals and obsessions that you think will "prevent" the bad thing from happening if you do them!.
Some people have rituals like checking stuff a certain number of times, or washing their hands of 'germs' and stuff, and then they feel satisfied after doing so!.
Go see your doctor about it, and explain in full what goes through your mind e!.t!.c
they will probably refer you to see a psychologist who will run you through a course of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy!.!.
