How do you stop thinking bad thoughts?

I guess I’m just the worrying/anxious type and it’s really bothering me lately. It’s starting to interrupt my daily life and I’m wondering if it’s just normal or if I’m being a little extreme. Every time any of us go somewhere in the car I get these thoughts…graphic thoughts…of us getting in a car accident and what would happen. I’m talking like very detailed visions, like what exactly would happen to each one of us physically, say, if we were hit from this side, or that side or from behind, etc. And then at home, at night, I think about what if we had a big earthquake what would I do, what if the second floor fell down on us, etc. Last night the upstairs neighbors were being loud when we were laying in bed about to go to sleep and I thought about what if they dropped something really heavy and it fell through our ceiling right onto Monkey. :( It’s horrible having these visions but I can’t seem to get them to stop. These are just examples, I have other thoughts all the time. I know it’s normal to worry somewhat excessively, especially so soon after having a child, but this is getting ridiculous. Does anyone else have this happen? Does it go away after a while? I was really worried after having Kirby for a while but not like this.
