Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

I have been so worried about something this last few weeks that I have never been as stressed out before and OCD has gotten bad again because of it.

I hope everything works out and that you find some relief from your anxiety soon.
