I’ve dealt with anxiety for a number of years now. More so OCD and my way of thinking.
For example: I have to touch things a certain number of times, I can’t let my phone autocorrect me, I have to twist a door knob and the shut the door, not just pull the door because the clicking noise makes me uneasy, etc. It has since even gotten worse to the point that if my kids pick up a tails up penny, I throw myself into a panic, I hit a bird today!!!!! I’ve been a mess since. I have a therapist, I can only imagine what a fruit loop she thinks I am! But these obsessive thoughts OVER TAKE MY LIFE! I so badly want to live happy and free as I use too years ago. It affects not only me, but my marriage, and me as a mother... anyone have any coping mechanism to help push through these annoying habits!? I drive myself mad daily, I know it’s not normal, but I feel like I have to do these certain odd things or twitches I guess or everything will go horribly wrong! :’(
