i haven't posted here in a while but lately things have been reeeeally bad. i am in a situation causing me enormous stress and with gad and ocd, i am nearing my breaking point. up to now i think i've been dealing with the anxiety of having noplace to live (i'm staying at a friend's but can't stay much longer and have nowhere to go from there) and a job that could go away at any time (my company is moving and eventually my department will be dissolved) very well. but everytime i get over one hump something else happens and every time it does the anxiety gets worse. i have made a lot of progress with my anxiety over the last few years and i hate feeling like i'm backsliding. i don't know that i'm really looking for advice as much as needing to vent to people who might understand where i'm coming from and maybe get a little support. the racing thoughts, the sweats, the heart pounding, the nervous tics, they had all gotten so much better and now they are back. plus, staying at someone else's home is bringing back my checking behaviors that i had been doing really well at controlling (like, if i leave the house after my friend i get terrified that i will leave something on or not lock the door. i had gotten better when it was my own place and my own stuff but feel a ton more responsibility for hers). and being depressive as well as anxious doesn't help. just needing a kind word or two from people who know where i'm at. i am desperate for things to stabilize for me even for a few months. if this keeps up i don't know that i'll be able to cope without losing ALL the progress i've made. this really sucks.
