This sounds terrible, but is it "normal" for anxiety/depression sufferers to read things like the deaths announcements in newspapers ?
I have no idea why I do this but for some reason I seem to do it (I also tend to read the other announcements as well).
Why would I be concerned at other people's lives so much ? I can't figure out whether it's no big deal or whether it's something I should be concerned about.
It's not as if I get any kind of pleasure from doing it, sometimes it makes me feel sad particularly if someone was young when they died and I start wondering all sorts of things like "I wonder if they were ill" or "Was it an accident".
Hmm. Does this sound familiar to anyone ?
