Irrational Fears

I thought that this might be normal! I mean what normal person doesn't think of the bad end of the spectrum from time to time? Then again, what is defined as normal? A friend pointed out to me that this is a bit obsessive compulsive. Now I don't think about this kind of stuff everyday, but from time to time, these snowball in my head.

So, I am driving in the car with Alyssa, and flash before my eyes, I think to myself:

We haven't gotten new tires yet.
What if I crash because my tires are old?
What if Alyssa doesn't survive?
What if I go into a super depression because of it?
What if my husband divorces me because I am no longer a good wife?
What if I end up alone?
Where will I live?
Will I get over not being with Gary?
Will I be able to survive?
Would I need to be hospitalized for loosing my daughter and my husband?

And a minute later, there are tears in my eyes and I am trying to desperately think of some good and happy thoughts so that this irrational fear will leave my mind.

Do I need to get this checked out? I really didn't think that it was a huge problem! From this post, it probably doesn't seem like it, but I am a optimistic person. I always try to look for the good in situations and in people. My biggest problem is I over-analyze situations and people. And that is a whole other story for another day.
