Hi All,
just looking to see if anyone else can relate or has found ways to help through similar times.
I have always struggled with OCD as a child and with age I managed to get a good grasp on it, but of late I have noticed tiny bits of it sneaking back in.
I am very type a, and feel like I am always worrying about SOMETHING. What that thing is just depends on my biggest “fear” at the time. Sometimes I’m anxious I will lose my job, or I will get sick, or someone I love will get sick or die. I am constantly imagining a world of worst case scenarios and this probably doesn’t make sense but it makes me feel almost too scared to be happy.
whenever something good happens, almost immediately something that I am worried about sneaks in and I’m back to be worried. Sometimes this makes me unproductive - and almost too scared to do anything. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and my heart is racing and I few like I’ve been awake for hours, other times I’m so tired all I want to do is sleep. I often also feel like I am a “little” sick, almost as if I am getting sick but very rarely do. This then gives me anxiety as well.
Can anyone share similar experiences and let me know what has helped?
Thanks
