I keep thinking about bad things?

I keep having bad thoughts or scary thoughts when I'm reading or watching something. Like, an image in my mind will pop up of something bad happening to the character. Like they might get a needle stuck in their eye or something. Or bugs crawling all over them. I don't know why. I'm NOT a violent person lol and I don't watch or read scary things. And I try soo hard to concentrate so I can actually enjoy my book but it's not working and when I use google, they say to read a book to help clear your mind, but my problem IS with reading a book.

I try to watch TV or something to help not think about it, and it works, but then when it's over, I start thinking about it again.

Also, you know the feeling you get when you're calm, but you know that there was something that you were/ should be worrying about? Sometimes that happens to me and I remember what I've been trying to think about when reading. I don't know what to do :(

    I used to do the equal factor. I made a determination to reside my existence otherwise and make certain that i might have no regrets when I got older and used to be looking again on my existence. I located it's the small matters that make you suppose better. Showing as much as work on time, perpetually telling the reality, retaining the residence clean, paying fees on time and in particular I deal with folks the way I need to be treated, with admire. I know these things sound mundane however my existence was spiraling and i had to take manage. Life is excellent, now that i am a run of the mill man or woman and not using a regrets.

    First of all, relax and breath. You are over thinking too much. Just try to get your mind off those things. The more you think about them the more they come in to your perception. Just distract yourself with other things :)

    Good luck and best wishes!
