Thoughts of persecution are among the more common of delusions. Do you think you are having thoughts of persecution? I think it's a good sign that you recognize that you have them, if you do have them.
It must be scary thinking your future holds unfortunate things. I don't believe in fortunes, but I can imagine how I might feel about that if I did.
I think how one reacts to unfortunate circumstances plays a large role in determining the outcomes of those circumstances. The same bad thing can happen to two people and they might react in totally different ways. I think there is a lot you can control, even if bad things will happen. Maybe it would be a good exercise to imagine the worst that can happen and then think about how you might deal with it. Like ClearSkies said, there can often be a lot of good that comes out of life's difficulties.
