I can't live always needing things my my way or "the right way". Things so little to others push me over the edge. Things out of order, not straight, things done backwards, people that speak with highly noticable grammar errors. I don't know how to deal with this. Especialy with my anxiety and deppression added to it. I can't keep living in a world that stresses me out all the time. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Do you find yourself obsessing to much or all the time? I do. I obsess about past mistakes all the time. Try taking a walk . Go to a support group once or twice a day. Visit a neighbor. Bake cookies for someone you love. Just a thought.

Anxiety is characterized by a feeling of loss of control. I do completely understand about how people do things that bug me, or that I feel that I could do it better. It won't always be this way, I promise. Have you talked to your parents about this? Talked to a school counselor, your friends, other family members? There's no shame in talking about it. You might be surprised that they are feeling some of the things you are! In the meanwhile, do more things that you DO have control over. Figure out what things you have in control over, and concentrate on those things. I think it will make you feel bit better. Good luck and keep sharing with us!

She would always tell me that I chose to...

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...
