OCD Ebola

I have been obsessing over this Ebola virus in the U.S. and its really playing a toll on my emotions. I feel so lost and scared. I have spent all day reading articles and comments about it.(on top of the ISIS issue) It all comes down to being scared to die but it is out of control. I feel so lost like I'm in a horror movie or a dream and I feel scared & I just want to feel normal :(
