This is going to sound nuts, but ever since the Nine eleven incident...every time I have looked at the clock it has said 9:11...and every time that that has happened, something bad has happened to me. Three years ago, I kept seeing Nine Eleven and I ended up a week later in the hospital having emergency surgery.Three weeks ago, I started noticing the clock, and I had a friend die of melanoma cancer ..he was 27, My Great Aunt died a week later, My best friend's baby boy died when the mother was due to have him that week, I kept on seeing 9:11 and I went to the dermatologist and had 2 places taken off of me..but wont get the results for about 3 weeks, and FINALLY, My Great Uncle passed away last night and so I have yet another funeral to go to.
The thing is, I know this is not the end. I know there is more to come.I know bad things happen all the time, but I seriously feel like I have this ability to know when something bad is going to happen.
What does that make me ..a freak? That is what I feel like. The fact that this kind of thing has been going on for 3 years really bothers me.
Before the nine eleven incident, my grandfather died, and I remmeber feeling sick the day that he died..knowing that that was a warning of something bad that was going to happen.
I dont know what to think about this. I dont like my life being wrapped around so much hurt and death...I have lost so much in my life and but I have heard of people that have this ability to predict things and I DONT WANT TO BE ONE OF THEM.
If anybody knows what I am going though or has a similiar experience, please let me know. I feel so alone in this.
It is embarrassing to talk to my Therapist about my possibly having a unique ability, because to me it means that I am all the more sicker..and I have enough going on mentally with me.

I think you probably should talk to your therapist about it.
It may be embarassing at first, but I think they should be able to help you come to terms with what is going on with you in your life.

Amanda - sometimes it helps to track your thoughts with a journal - writing down times and dates and then also write down things that happen. I'm not saying you don't have some intuitive sense about things but retrospectively connecting things sometimes looks like a pattern where there really isn't any.
I believe we can enhance our intuition and gut-knowing if we work at it. So I think the opposite must also be true. If you don't want this ability, try to tune it out. Set your alarm for every half hour and hour so you don't have to look at the clock much, etc.
And if you trust your therapist, sharing your worries seems like a good thing to do. It sounds like a burden for you, so perhaps your therapist can help you figure out how to put it down or shift it so it is lighter.
Good luck with this.

I agree bring it up with your therapist and catch it now and resolve the issue. As someone said to be once "Do you think that you are so powerful you can control the world"? Seriously it was said to me and my rational mind says no. Phillipa
