I personally have had the same obsessive thoughts since I can remember. The thoughts of someone hurting me, still get them and I call them "daydreams" other people have different names for them.

The thoughts of my worse fears, and it always involved kidnapping, rapes, abuse... and even thought my worse fears came true, besides kidnapping.... but sometimes I fear that it will happen again.

The "daydreams" use to feel so real that I could invision someone breaking into my home and hurting me, to the point where i'd freeze and become scared.

Since I've dealt with the abuse/rape issues they have become less, and since my symptoms of PTSD have become less as well I notice the "daydreams" going away, still pop up from time to time, but the obsessive thinking is less.
