hi there. I've been recently diagnosed with OCD and it makes sense, although I'm really stuck in the angry stage why no one said this before....ahhh, maybe it wouldn't have made things easier who knows.

I've been fighting really severe anxiety about the last 24 hours...some times days in a row it's manageable with the zoloft I've been on for two months...then days like yesterday it hits me bad.

know what over? I bought a bird bath. There and it's so embarrasing. That's the only new thing I can think of...but then I started obsessing about where to put it and how deep to put the water and ---- then today I bought a few new perennials (we just moved and this is our first spring I'm redoing the whole front foundation....

and I'm really worried how to / where to put the plants and what to get and how it will all look in the end and a year or two from now.

the 'subject' of my anxiety is like a lazy susan, just spin it and pick a topic I can worry about.

maybe I'm not on the right dosage? I'm not nearly as depressed but the anxiety is just making it hard to get out of bed and make even the most simple decisions!

thanks for the topic! I'm not sure I'm sure what my 'rituals' are besides having to do things exactly the 'right' way or I go bezerk...is that what you mean? moving really ruined all my routines, my laundry room was laid out mirror image of our old house,

old house was (left to right) sink, washer dryer and here at our new house left to right it is dryer, washer sink...I could barely function down there, and had my husband put long hoses on the washer and putit on the left...can't move the sink, but having the washer on the left made it functional for me. don't know what that is all about!
