I think it's a form of psychological self-protection, and sadly it's always the smart ones that get the worse of the bullies, sadly it doesn't get much easier, but you do find ways to cope with it better.
Give her a hug from me when you see her next and tell her that for all the bad things in the world, there are just as many wonderful and fantastic things on our planet and out in the cosmos, human nature seems to dwell on the negative, but it mustn't blind you to the beauty out there.
I was once told by my mother, and feel free to pass this on to her if you think it will help, to think of the humble flower that over time pushes its way through thick concrete to bloom into beauty amongst the dark grey slabs of the city around it. She's that flower, things are tough and people can be very horrible, but push on and great things can happen.

Thank you and I will give her a big hug, next time I see her.
The problem with her imagination is that it content "terrible things" and she have problem with "what is fantasy and what's not" what i understand, from what I heard from my little sister, this huge attack came from some youtube videos of zombies, which some children had shown to her at school
The anxiety can not be cured, but she can by help from expert learned to live with them and hopefully learned to "see" what is fantasy and whats real.
