Hi controlfreak -- I know EXACTLY how you feel. I have felt the EXACT same way before. I read your message and thought I would share one of my "psychic" experiences. It may not help you much but at least you'll know that you are not the only one that thinks this way.
I convinced myself once that I was psychic and turned down a trip because I would have to fly. I thought about taking the flight for several days, then when it came down to making a decision whether to fly or not, I decided not to go. I convinced myself that if I was having doubts about flying then it was because "something bad was going to happen". Needless to say, everyone had a great trip, the flight went smooth, and then I felt like the biggest chicken ever. My self-confidence dropped to an all time low. I've regretted that decision ever since because I think when we let our fears take control in one aspect of our lives, it will begin to control other areas of our lives thereby causing us to expand our list of fears. As I look back, I can see that happened to me after I avoided the trip. I learned to cope with fear and the unknown by avoiding things. I used to live by the saying "You have nothing to fear but fear itself". Almost nothing scared me. I didn't realize how a couple of events that scared me, could come back to terrorize me years later. One event occurred in 1992, the other in 1997, the fear of flying did not manifest itself until 2006. I wish that I had known to seek professional help before my perception of what really happened got so out of balance.
I just have one thing to add. If I'm psychic, why didn't I forsee any of the automobile accidents, one that I've been involved in. Why couldn't I foresee all the other dangerous or undesirable events that have occurred in my life? I believe the answer is simple....I'm not a psychic!!!!
Best wishes!!
