sighns

[minnie h]

does anybody feel like they get sighns that ther ill..like u randomly open a magazine n the first thing u c iz a story bout cancer.or u turn on the tv n the first word u hear is stroke? Also i hav thoughts like if i c lots ov members ov my family in the same day i think omg iv seen them all 2day coz im guna die later! Is this anx and does anybody else think like this?

OMG!! Yeah, I'm like this ALL the time. I'm scared to say 'I luv u' in a text to any family members or friends in case that's a sign that I'm about to die & need to tell them I love them... :/

Or like, if I hear a Magpie chattering in a morning, I think one Magpie is bad luck so something bad will happen today...

Something simple as a certain song coming on the radio will make me think my end is neigh!

Or if I'm looking forward to something, I won't leave the house until it's happened incase I go out & die or get hurt/end up in hospital & miss the thing I've been looking forward to...

It's silly but it's how I feel almost 90& of the time...it restricts me & causes me alot of worry panic, so you're not on you're own.
We shouldn't be feeling like this though, we shouldn't have illness/death on our minds all the time, hindering what we do...it's not fair...
*hugs* x

OMG!!!! I thought it was only me!!!!!
If my life seems to be going well, if I am actually happy then it must be because I'm goin to die!!!
Like you say, I'll hear a certain song or see a certain person/thing and it becomes an omen!
Wow kinda relieved I'm not alone on this lol xx

LOL! Yeah, god, exactly! & Like, if I try to positive whilst I'm feeling abit ill or having an anxiety attack & tell myself I'm ok, I'll start feeling like I've jinxed myself & that means I'm gonna die this time!
So it makes it completely impossible to be positive! lol

ME too!!
Thought it was just me - but obviously I'm not alone!! I have to do weird things like say a quick prayer when I drive past a shrine at the side of the road where some poor person has died in an RTA - I pray it will never happen to me or those who I love. If someone on the tv says their loved one has died - I repeat it in my head and then think OMG I hope that doesnt happen to me so I have to try my best not to think about it - same as in the magazine or newspaper article. My latest panic is due to the Sally Webster thing - and now I have to attend the breast clinc - how the hell I am I going to get through the next 2 weeks whilst I wait for the appointment!!!!!!!! arggggggg - so I cant possible look in a newspaper etc in case I see something about it cos that could be a sign - OMG I am completely mad!!!! To think I am training to be a health care professional - I think its me who needs help!!
