That's the "O" part of OCD (obsessive, compulsive disorder)- obsessive.
That's when you can't seem to prevent yourself from going over and over a worry in your mind (obsessing). The other part of OCD is the compulsive part. Compulsions are the inner drive to do certain actions over and over (checking the door locks, washing hands, turning on/off light switches, saying certain phrases a certain number of times, "magic thinking". This is a very common disorder (please don't refer to it as a mental illness). It often requires medication to slowdown or release you from the behaviors/thoughts until counseling can help you deal with them. Obsession is often a way to deal with fears. The underlying motive is that "if I worry about all of the possible bad things that could happen - then I may be able to prevent any bad from happening". Of course most bad stuff that people worry about doesn't usually occur - so the person with OCD thinks, "See ! I worried about it enough and it didn't happen - therefore "preventive worrying" DOES work !" and that reinforces doing it again. Sometimes the underlying energy driving OCD is suppressed sexual energy/guilt and once a person marries (or gets in a committed relationship that includes sex) it often lessens (but not always). Promiscuous people rarely experience OCD - it's usually people that are strongly self disciplined.Health Question & Answer

God Loves You, so much!!!!!
For many years, I thought the same way. This is not the truth. You are not crazy or mentally ill. Billy Graham shared with me in one of his books that this is a soul sickness, a diseased spirit. You must learn to fill your thought life with more prosperous things. Better literature, different kinds of people, places, things and friends.
If you change your thinking, then you can change your whole world. Get involved in a church, Feed your inner man, your spirit, more positive things. Keep your thoughts pure and read positive literature. In the Bible, Romans 8:28 says, "Things will work out for the good of them who love the Lord." In Jeremia 29:11, For I know the thoughts of you saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a good expected end.
I took a Deliverance class at my church and it helped me to reprogam my thought patterns, to positively affirm myself with scriptures from the Word of God. . This is not a mental illness, this is spiritual warfare. The devil wants you to think that you will suffer and/or die, but God says that you will live and have life more abundantly when you give your life to Jesus and turn from your ways and learn to do things the Godly Kingdom way.
Everytime you have a thought like that again, counteract it with a positive thought, Say it out loud. "I shall live and I shall not die with cancer, brain tumor, etc.", "God has promised me a good expected end." Do it until it becomes second nature to you. Look in a mirror and affirm your negative nature into a more positive nature. Get those thoughts out of your mind
Replace them with GOOD thoughts about your BRIGHT future. Set goals for yourself. Get a vision, Have dreams set personally for you and go for it. Health Question & Answer

Anxiety disorder most likely. also - usually with anxiety - the more you think about a problem the bigger it gets - in your mind... Anxiety is the flip side of depression too. The 2 usually go hand-in-hand.
See a psychiatric doctor and get diagnosed - people on here can only give you ideas on what it might be . Note - some will also try to sell you on the idea that you don't need to see a professional and that all you need is religion - helps but is absolutely not at all the whole solution. Now see how many thumbs down I get for saying that!...
