Hello, The brief description provided by you here is suggestive of a thinking anomaly called as magical thinking. This magical thinking may be a part of normative thinking, some personality clusters, autistic thinking, Obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, etc. Hence if the thought is leading you to have significant distress or is interfering with your day to day routine, it would be worthy to seek a consultation with a psychiatrist near you. A detailed assessment will help you understand the reason behind your thoughts, and thereafter help may be provided to you if required... Hope this helps you... You need not panic, as such thinking may be part of normative thinking however a consultation for assessment is likely to help allay your anxiety.. Best wishes for your health and future..
