I cant get it out of my head, but it makes me keep thinking what if this did happen, what would I say if I was asked to give a speach. Its beginning to happen more and more reguarly. Its a really horrible thought. But often it happens whilst im at work, when im walking to another part of the building etc. Its horrible.

Depression. Go for a jog and just let yourself relax. Nothing beats a good jog. Or kicking a soccer ball around (with a friend or by yourself) to get your mind off things.
lol milla, its not depression.

Poseidon, you're just a deep thinker, I'd say the same about Anti too...I have similar weird reocurring thoughts like that, there are quick and easy ways to combat them - The challenge is figuring out what ways best suit you personally. If I ever start tangenting towards negative thoughts like that I decide to myself that I'm not going to go there and just start thinking of something more pleasant.
It REALLY pays to always have something to look foward too or something that will give you the same instant satisfaction as being excited about something upcoming...

I know alot of people around here probably won't even be able to comprehend feelings like this. Some people just do alot more random thinking in their heads than others. I'm not necessarily talking about smarter people here, just people that will play out scenarios in their head, and amuse themselves with random thoughts etc
I do it all the time, a few negative thoughts doesn't mean depression at all.

Depression is alot more serious and dangerous. Nihilistic tendencies can often lead to depression that's why deep thinkers are sometimes more prone to depression because they stop and ponder on more of a global level than other people...
