What is it called when you leave the house and suddenly you’re plagued by “what ifs” like what if the house burns down while I’m gone, or what if someone breaks in while I’m gone? Cause this happens every time I leave the house to go anywhere 😭

Yes, exactly that. It sounds more like anxiety but it could be OCD if OP has other symptoms

I’m guessing anxiety, but knowing my family and some of the stuff they got, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was more
