Is it normal to feel like if you stop worrying something bad will happen

I know it's kind of superstitious but I've felt this way since I was a kid that of I don't constantly think of the worst that's going to happen, and cry about it too, then it will happen. It is about people. I need to go to work right now but I can't stop crying and I feel like "if you stop that means you don't care and you will let them die because you didn't care". I know that's ridiculous but that's honestly how it feels.

    To worry so much can put you to an early grave from the stress of it.

    I have news for you: you're just not that powerful! Good and bad things will happen totally regardless of whether or not you worry about them.

    This is a very negative way to live and would be hard to change without help, so it's up to you whether you want your life to be more positive or not.

      Thanks.. you're right it's a real waste of time and I lost a lot of sleep these past couple weeks over someone I'm pretty sure doesn't give half as much a crap. But I always worry the one time I'm not there for someone they will actually need it.

        I'm glad you acknowledge worrying is a waste of time: it's also a waste of your LIFE! Please get some help with this ...... or not, if you want everything to stay the way it is.
