You definitely want to talk to a professional about these thoughts to try an understand where they're coming from.
In the meantime, recognize that thoughts are just thoughts. Use mindfulness to watch them, hear what they have to say and let them go.
These types of thoughts can be frightening and very disturbing. However, if you just let them go through you they will probably lessen. Getting upset, anxious and worried about them is like throwing fuel on a fire. Thoughts literally eat emotions for lunch, and grow bigger and bigger from the "nourishment."
So to recap: For the long haul, seek help. In the meantime recognize your thoughts don't control you as long as you don't let them freak you out. Thoughts are like barking, snarling, slobbering dogs -- with no teeth.
