I haven't had much of these thoughts anymore. Many people on here say that NAC is recommended for obsessive thoughts. You can buy it over-the-counter at your local pharmacy. I don't know dose levels or anything, so I'd talk to the pharmacist there. They would know how much and stuff. I hope you find what you're looking for

Do you think I should mention OCD to my doctor and see what he says? I didn't know these thoughts could be OCD related.

This sounds like a fantastic idea!!!! I'm a writer/actress and have found that when I don't get to engage in this activity I feel SO much sadder.

Go dance! Do whatever it takes to go dance! I wasn't sure from your post, but were you saying you just want to dance alone at home, or that you want to do it in public? If you want to dance publicly, can you take a class that's for super duper beginners so you don't feel intimidated by others in the class? Can you let the teacher know you've got anxiety about what you're going through but really want to do it? I say do whatever it takes to get dancing again.
I would love to be able to just dance, full stop. My dream is to dance in a studio with big mirrors and get lost in the music to be honest, I want nothing more than to just dance. There is a class at my local college (which I will be attending in September) so I am going to enquire there. I've tried dancing at home, alone, but I can't seem to relax and let go of the anxiety whilst I'm dancing, which completely ruins the dance itself.
