Country_Girl Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Always had anxiety... Just realized I have OCD. I think it's inherited, something my dad does when leaving the house is checking the locks 3-4 times. When I feel anxiety I click my toes. Sounds stupid. I have to click my big toe and index toe. 3 times each side, then one for good luck. Wtf? Never realized this. Started watching this show on a and e called 'obsessed'. Everything makes sense now, has to be OCD. Never knew why I did it, it's never been harmful, but I knew it wasn't normal. Apparently it's somewhat of a ritual. I stopped doing it 5 years ago, don't know why, just thought it was a weird habit. Then started having panic attacks, never tied the two things together. I have started clicking my toes again knowing it's the key to my anxiety. I'm worried. This will progress to something else? Need assistance.
The Poster Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I feel you here and I've dealt with both. OCD is just another subdivision of anxiety. They walk hand in hand. Have you seen a therapist about it? I've been doing CBT and it's been working great. My anxiety is under control and so is my OCD.
geekgetsgirl Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Something you may consider if it's legal for you is pot. It's an incredible plant that has helped several of my friends with anxiety. Research a bit on Google if you are unsure about using it.
CrystalShine2011 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I would go get it checked....I did (suffer from anxiety, even with really stupid stuff like going to a place I've never been before...etc) and what I was given really helped. Also, I agree with the above.
