as most of you know i get a scary thoughts about dying on particular dates and the worry untill that day. Then i usually get another.

I was worried about a few dates for some time during april/may but then i had a scary thought about dying in 80 days and that semed to over ride my other worries(the other dates) i just wonder why all of a sudden im not scared of the other worries, i'm just scared of the 80 day thing. does it mean the 80 day thing is tru?? and thats y im not bothering to worry bout the otha dates?? This is one of the many ideas that goes round and round in my head. I hope its just all ocd!!

To me, that would mean the lesser of 2 evils. When I say this, my Pedo OCD went down in 2007 for about 10 months, because I kept thinking I wanted to quit dancing, which made me feel very guilty and prompted me to practise more.

In terms of the fear of dying, I had this OCD a few times. When I was very young, I got obsessed that Britain was going to be annihilated with a nuclear weapon, then in 1999 when the Nostradamus predicted the end of the world, I was frightened up till midnight worried that I should just confess all, almost as though telling everyone I wanted to be a woman would 'make my peace'. That obsession went, as soon as midnight came and went. I even looked up into the sky to see if a meteor was going to crash into the earth.

I had same fears abi=out the dying and specific dates. But not so bad now think in a way Ive doone my own CBT for these things becasue I couldn't escape from them. I thought I was on my own with them, also I grew up in the cold war in the seventies their was always war of words with Russia and every minute I would think we were going to have a nuclear war. I finally managed to face it in when we went to war in Irag had to and made myself watch television.

From what I've been told everybody has times when they fear they're going to die, but for most it's a fleeting thought that they either ignore or immediately dismiss. But OCD is like a dog with a bone - once it gets an idea it's very difficult to make it let go

It would probably be a good thing if we did know when we were going to die because at least then we could plan to fit in all the things that we wanted to do before it happened.
Seriously, there's no way you could know what day you were going to die is there? And you've thought that there were dates in the past when you were going to die and it hasn't happened.
Ever since the 7/7 bombing thing, I've never liked dates with double numbers like that (the 6th of june, the 7th of july, etc). I always think something bad might happen. But I just try to push it to the back of my mind and think there is no way I could know if something would happen that day.
