I Am a Sensitive Person

Why did I start watching the show Criminal Minds tonight? I get so scared thinking some of those things happening to me. My imagination is vivid and gets away from me. I picture so much of it in detail before I realize what I'm doing. I imagine my children or other family member going through it and i find myself panicked and crying - over something that hasn't even happened.
Wish I could figure out how to make my head stop thinking these things. I don't need a trigger either. I could just be driving down the road and these things pop into my head. I hate it.

First step: Do not watch stuff like that. Exposure to violence and sad story lines affect some individuals in a profound manner.
I suffer from depression and anxiety and therefore predisposed to those feelings already. So, when I view material of that nature it affects me worse. As soon as negative scary thoughts enter my mind I have to flip the switch immediately. Think of a funny moment or event that always makes you laugh.

Oh my goodness that happened to me with criminal minds too. I thought I was the only one cause my friends all made fun of me for being so scared about it. The weird thing is, it freaks me out but I still can't stop myself from watching it.
