Wow... Those are the kinds of thoughts I have. Thoughts of bad things happening to loved ones (being badly hurt or dying). It's like I have to play out every scenario of what could or might would happen if something happened to a loved one. I can't stop until I have gone through every imaginable scenario in my head. I haven't had these thoughts too much for a while (I guess meds are really helping).
I am terribly afraid of snakes, and I have thought abut snakes getting into my house sometimes. And like the other thoughts, I have to play out the scenarios in my head. It gets old, but we'll make it.
