I hate anxiety and O.C.D.
Today is another bad day with anxiety. My O.C.D. is worse today too. Previous thoughts of when I thought I hit someone with my car are popping in my head. The thought that doesnot want to leave my sister in law was in the car with me and the thought incident happened at least10 yrs ago. Does any one else have a fear of hurting other people? I am trying to just live with the thoughts and let them flow in and out of my brain. It is sooo freakin hard. I am sooo tired of the anxiety and O.C.D.. I feel like I have to go to a store to do exposure therapy. I feel nobody in my family and friends understand how much of an impact it has on my daily life. I get tired of putting on an act of feeling okay for everybody. I have O.C.D. thoughts that happened 30 yrs ago. I just needed to vent thanks for listening.

Venting and journaling ARE great! As far as exposure therapy, it is good to do, but NOT as easy as it sounds! I know my brain feels like a merry go round on speed! My thoughts NEVER END! Even in my sleep, my thoughts and my brain NEVER SHUT OFF! Xanax helps, but never totally takes the racing thoughts away, just makes me tired enough to go to sleep!
