Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

If your anxiety is: focused and the "something bad" is a vague fear it may be more OCD. Do you say or do certain things to keep the bad thing from happening? In any case, a mental health professional is the person to see for help. Peace and good health. David Burns book "Feeling Good" may also be helpful.
