    Hi Donmate, I can assure you these are very common intrusive thoughts brought about by anxiety and depression, you are a good guy as you care about having these thoughts. 

    Like me you over analyse and chase the anxious and intrusive thought and become obsessed by them esoecially if they are strong thoughts.

    Try to tell yourself that it is the illness making you think this way and that it will go, which it will.

    If you really struggle speak to your GP, but again these are surprisingly common thoughts, I had them when I was first ill, I feared being left alone with my daughter just in case I had a blank out abd did something to her, it never happened and was just a frightening intrusive thought.
