My first thought was OCD or mania as well . But after a little thinking, I can relate when I recall how anxious I become as something dreaded gets closer. I deal with that anxiety through exercise, cleaning, and working it out with emotion regulation techniques of DBT. DBT does help me put the anxiety into words ~ working into the cause ~ rather than avoiding.

Is there something happening in your world that causes a lot of anxiety? The holidays? Seeing friends or family? Work? The more precisely you can identify the cause, the easier it will become for you to work through & begin feeling better. Best wishes and to you!
