Hi all! I'm Evan.

So, all my life, as long as I can remember, I've had this intense, strange kind of anxiety/panic. It would wake me up in the middle of the night in panic attacks, give me this feeling of intense sheer terror, give me nightmares, and it sounds absolutely absurd when I think about it.

Hi,

I just found out from my therapist that I have OCD. Dealing with the negative thoughts is hard, but I'm wondering, how else does anyone deal with that?

Has anyone had good experience with that?

I'm just wondering, as I'm just learning I have this.

Been thinking about this lately.

I suffer terribly with anxiety and it's mainly because I live in fear of losing my job.

This might seem a bit odd to some people but I find it really difficult to get along in mainstream society.

Anyway I feel that because of my anxiety and the whole "fight or flight" thing, I'm constantly in fight mode. I see a problem and I have to deal with it head ...
