I have posted before about my struggle with OCD/Anxiety forgive me if I ramble. The anxiety part is quite bad at the moment. I have been so tense since last week and I cannot get my shoulders to relax. I have in recent weeks gained more responsibility in my work and I think that might have triggered things again. Gaining more responsibility should be a good thing because it helps confidence which I lack at times but typical me…I think about my work when I am not working and worry if I did a thing right before I finished up on Friday or I worry about what I’ll have to do on Monday when I go in. I honestly don’t really care about my work and the people I work with are ok but it’s getting me down that OCD is making me obsess over something I don’t want to…I hope that makes sense and doesn’t sound weird? The anxiety side is if I’m meeting groups of people or cars are passing me along the road I feel anxious and slightly nervous. I worry what people think of me and if they like me our not! I hate feeling like this.
Even on Saturday for example I have a hairdressers appointment and I am worrying and anxious about that! It probably sounds so stupid panicking over something that should be enjoyable. Anyone else relate to how I am feeling? I hate this feeling please pray for me to overcome this thank you.
 
Try the Rosary! It can relieve tension, in addition to bringing you closer to your faith!

Praying for you.
 
I have mild aspergers, and anxiety and OCD come with the package. I am not a doctor, but I was given gabapentin /nurontin for this. Non addictive. Maybe you could ask your doctor is this is right for you. Hopefully the mods won’t get after me for this.

At any rate I can totally relate to what you are saying. Getting a lot of rest and prayer helps out quite a bit as well. Anxiety is a heavy cross. I will pray for your intentions.
 
Please get help from a mental health professional. OCD and anxiety need professional help. Don’t be embarrassed, these are serious matters and help IS available!
 
Many (myself included) have been there. Don’t try to conquer the OCD/anxiety by yourself - the best thing to do is to surrender to God, who doesn’t want you to suffer. Seek help, both spiritual and psychological. There is no shame in anxiety, it is an ailment to be treated.
God bless you, I will pray for you…
 
Your physician can help you.
Go there, tell him all your symptoms.
 
I agree with everyone else. The Rosary and a doctor. I suffer from anxiety also. I remember just driving home from the grocery store and having shortness of breath and my shoulders so tense I couldn’t relax them. Meds with definitely help.
Praying for you. x
 
Medication and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy will help. CBT trains your mind to think differently about things that bother you, this relieving anxiety.
