I have a strange problem.i don't want to remember the activities of a day if somebody known or unknown dies on that day, because i keep thinking that that day was not a good for me.i experience very much anxiety in remembering the activities since someone was died on that day.but i don't want to do that i want to remember the activities of that day because those acvities are important for me to remember.but i can't do that
again if i do something repeatedly for some day(for example taking important lesson) and on the final day if somebody known or unknown dies then i even don't want to remember the whole lesson of those days, since sombody died on the final day.i keep thinking final day is the most important. i feel so much anxious in remembering, But i have to remember those activities/things since these are very important for me. so i try to do the same activitity/thing(for example taking lesson)over and over again on another day when i never heard of anybody's death.i feel then only i will be able to remember the whole thing because nobody have died on that day(final day).But i don't want do this repeatation,at the same time i want to remember those activities/things. But i can't,i feel very very anxious.i am feeling hopeless. i don't know this is obsessive compulsive disorder(OCD) r not. I can't cope up with the situation. Plz Plz Help me and how to solve this problem??

Hi Max,
I would definitely recommend talking to your Doctor about this. It does seem to be a huge anxiety issue--I could understand more it being someone you know, but being upset to the same affect on those you don't know shows how it can be.
Please talk to your Doc as soon as you can.
Best,

max, it sounds like severe anxiety connected to death. Can you think of other reasons why you might be so concerned about someone dying, and how you automatically label it a bad day for yourself? It could be that you are being "triggered" into memories of a previous loved one or friend who died, perhaps? Your mind might be making a connection, but you are blocking the real reason.
Keep reminding yourself that when just anyone dies that you don't need to have a bad day. You can have a good day anyway.
Anxiety can cause you to become confused (and not recall the day's activities.) You might consider talking to your regular doctor about what help is available for this.
Take care
