or
if my T is going on his backpacking trip i have to constantly think about him being dead in order to keep him alive
maybe mine is a little more extreme since i think my thoughts can control reality,... i dunno
its gotten better over the last year though

This is more how mine is and has been since childhood. For me, it's a part of OCD. Like if I don't, say, worry about getting cancer, then it might happen. Or if something good happens to me, then something bad will inevitably happen to balance it out. (I get pregnant my first month of trying and had a generally easy pregnancy, so, hey, maybe that's why my daughter is on the autism spectrum.) Or, more karma-like, if I do something bad, then something bad will have to happen to me (or someone I care about), like as punishment.
