Question:
Everytime I hear of something bad happening. I get scary thoughts. Does this happen 2 u?
Like is someone commits suicide, I think OMG what if I went crazy and did that.
Or if someone gets killed in a car accident. I think about that everytime I drive or my husband goes out.
How do I cure this??
Answers:
That is a fairly common reaction to hearing of bad situations. The only time that it becomes a problem is if you find that you are obsessing about these things or they become life altering. By life altering I mean that you drastically change the way you do things due to your unfounded fears. If you find that it is effecting your everyday life then you need to get some professional counseling. People who suffer from Agoraphobia often complain about these same symptoms in the initial stages of this affliction. That is not to say that you are on the way to becoming agoraphobic but you need to address this issue before it does become more serious. best wishes............
