When I'm waiting for the elevator to come, I imagine what would happen if I went to step in it after the doors were opened, yet there was no car there. Or when I see a new highrise apartment building being built, I imagine if I lived there and forgot to lock my doors and my kids got on the patio and fell off. Is there a word for this? I'm not suicidal or depressed at all--I'm actually quite content with my life. Why do I have these morbid and depressing thoughts? Does anyone else think like this? It isn't all the time--just every now and again.

Omg! I think like that always. ..well not always. i mean i never used to think such thoughts, but lately i have been. im thinking its a bit of paranoia! I dunno. Like if im swinging on the swings, i'll think "What happens if the swing all of a sudden breaks" it gets really annoying after a while because i just want to enjoy myself and not think negatively. Which is odd for me because i'm a very positive person. im not too sure what triggers those thoughts, good question!
Take care!

I think it's normal to have thoughts like that. As long as it doesn't disrupt your daily life, I think it's very normal. It's a survival instinct. If you wonder if the car will be there when the elevator doors open, you will check to make sure before you step on. If you worry about locking your kids out, you'll check to make sure you have your keys. As long as the thoughts aren't obsessive it's very normal.

Thoughts like that are normal if they do not become obsessive or an interruption to your life. Otherwise, it sounds like you may have a phobia, which is an obsessive, persistent, unrealistic fear of an external object or situation. According to the triggers of your fear, you are probably experiencing basophobia, which is the fear of falling.

You just are worrying for nothing!
Your life is great, & you're using your imagination, possibly due to boredom? You need more fun in your life!
Watch comedy films & shows!
Don't fall into the trap of medications.

Well, everyone has thoughts like that. We all can't think of puppies and rainbows all day. It's a fact of life.
