These feelings come at some point of time of our lives. I think you are thinking upto the end of everything. But this issue is curable. Please talk to any psychologist, discuss whatever comes to your mind and their intervention will help you to get rid of the situation.

What you’re describing fits generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) Notice the thought, name it as “worry,” don’t fight it. Fighting fuels it. Slow breathing, grounding (5 things you see, 4 you touch, etc.) calms the body. Daily routine: sleep, exercise, Qur’an recitation, dua all stabilize mood. Write worries down, set a “worry time,” then gently redirect. If it interferes with sleep, work, or relationships therapy (CBT works best) or consulting a psychiatrist is important. You’re not weak, your mind is on overdrive because it cares. Therapy can teach it to rest.
Next Steps
clarify if this is GAD, health anxiety, or another anxiety spectrum issue per DSM-5. Look at onset, triggers, duration, sleep, functioning. Psychoeducation – help you see these thoughts are symptoms, not truths. The brain misfires threat signals. CBT- Thought record: catch the negative thought, test its evidence. Worry exposure: set aside 15 minutes to face it instead of pushing away. Grounding and relaxation skill
Health Tips
Breathe slow, not shallow. Name the thought—“just worry, not fact.” Limit Google searches on health. Pray, ground, journal. Sleep and eat steady. Share fears instead of hiding them. Small walks ease the mind. Progress, not perfection.

Advice What you are describing sounds like health-related anxiety and intrusive negative thoughts. These worries about family health can feel uncontrollable and exhausting, but they are treatable with the right approach.
Next Steps
• Please consult a psychiatrist for proper evaluation. Sometimes medication for anxiety/obsessive thoughts is required. • Along with medicines, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is very effective in reducing intrusive thoughts and health anxiety. • Practice simple strategies at home: keep a worry diary, limit repeated checking of health information/tests, and schedule a fixed “worry time” instead of engaging with the thoughts all day.
Health Tips
• Avoid repeated reassurance-seeking (excessive doctor visits, online searches), as this often worsens anxiety. • Regular sleep, exercise, and relaxation practices (breathing, meditation, yoga) can help reduce the intensity of negative thoughts.p
