Is it normal that i have images of getting hurt?

Most of the time when I'm in the car, and someone is driving me, I start imagining horrible things happening like someone hitting us or something. It never actually happens. Also sometimes when I'm using normal everyday things like for example the microwave, I'll have like a image of it blowing up or something. I really dislike those images. Is there anyway not to be so paranoid, or whatever you would call this...?

    It's normal to a point. If it starts to alter your choices or cause other problems then tell someone who can help.

    I have the same visions. I would call it paranoia. As said above by some if they start to make you alter your choices in life. Talk to some one.

    I have the same issue. But I don't see it as a problem. Every time I'm about to use a knife, I envision getting cut by that same knife. Or getting cut by the saw that I use. For me, its mainly with sharp objects. But it doesn't stop me from using it. I'm not scared of it, it just makes me extra careful when using it. So I think its a good thing. Thats my story anyway. If I were you, I'd just look at it as being cautious. You see what can happen, and you become more alert.

    It's sort of normal. I often get images like. that I think it's a mix of worry, scary imagination and paranoia. don't panic when it happens maybe it's some sort of depression. Well seeing the negative or danger of stuff. It could just be a severe lack of trust in people or machines I think you should try and get help

    Thanks for posting this. I have the same problem. In fact, I invision the same things you mentioned, and other things like, I imagine getting shot in the head, all the time.
    Its never a premeditated thought it just happens.
