I don't seem to have enough energy to get my ass off the couch, let alone distract myself with something enough to stop these thoughts. I also have the concerns about what I will do with myself when my husband dies and I have spent more than a few days crying over the loss of my cat who is only 5 years old. A lot of my "visions" and thoughts are about my son dying in his sleep, being killed, etc. It was the worst 2 minute wait of my life. It was such intense fear that I wanted to drive away as fast as I could without waiting for my husband. I had this sudden image of a man running through the yard, opening our car door and then shooting my son in the head. I was sitting in our driveway in the car, my son in the back in his car seat, my husband was inside grabbing something so we could leave. Sometimes it just happens out of the blue. It happens to me, sometimes when I feel unexpectedly close to someone, or having a "high" moment. HOLY HELL ROLLER! I thought I was the only one with "crazy" thoughts like this. They completely ruin good moments and leave me very upset most of the time. I really detest these moods and don't know why I have them.

Sometimes I will have 'fantasies' of loved ones dying and imagine the things I will do to cope, how I would act if they died etc. I will play with my dog and become very sad at how I will have to experience his death in less than a decade. Sometimes I will have a nice moment with somebody and thoughts of how they will not be with me for long enter my mind.
