Yep, it's an obsession. It's more about violence to my loved ones than myself. My parents always used to have to console me when I had "bad thoughts" about something happening to them. Now it's transferred to my chronically late boyfriend who always finds me in a panic. I'm hoping to cure myself before I have kids, or Lord help them. Thanks for the info!
