Hi
im just getting a bit worired and wanted to get some advice from some people. Well firstly i just want to say iam a teenager, generally happy and have great friends and family. However ive always been terrified of murderes/rapists and all that stuff
ive read loads of horrible stories in magazines, seen loads of awful movies and also seen real life murder/rapes on the news, what ive learnt from these is that 9/10 of the time it is always men who commint the murder/rape. I have nothing against men thats just what ive found. So whenever i think about these crimes happening to me i always associate a man doing them. I have seen loads of stories where men kill their partners and lots of other stories where men kill their children also, this has made me think about my dad doing these things. Now just because i think about these things doesn't mean i believe them, i know my dad would never hurt me, my sister or my mother. We all get on quite well but this doesn't stop me thinking about it over and over, and it really scares me i try to tell myself to stop thinking about it but i cant. I dont feel safe at home especially at night. Its like i know my dad would never hurt us but i get scared he'll get really sad or go insane and kill us all (because thats what normally happens in these stories) however i have no reason to think this as my dad is the most down to earth person i know, he's really relaxed, no mental health problems and just likes having a laugh - he's just a normal bloke, we're not like super super close because like most men he's not a cuddly person & doesn't talk about his feelings, but we are quite close - we chat & have a good laugh, we all do as a family. He has alot of friends who he goes to the pub with once or twice a week, he's just a typical man. But how do i stop myself thinking this about my dad? i get so scared even in my own house. I cant talk to my dad about it, he'd be so hurt.
Its not just my dad either like ive thought about my one of my next door neigbours who is also a man hurting me, and even my driving instructor trying to abduct me. Can i just make clear i dont believe any of these people would actually hurt me, i know they are good people i just cant help thinking of it when i hear all these horrible stories about these evil people. The world is such a horrible place
By the way i dont suffer from mental health, just some small anxiety now & then but that is all.
Thank you for your help, i really really appreciate it
