G'day Majo,
Don't forget we have a forum here too for anxiety and ocd.

There are some really good links in the Useful websites section.

I've lived with anxiety and a certain amount LOL of OCD the majority of my life, but it's all sporadic. Gotta get on top of it early is my thought. Unlearn some patterns of thinking and learn new ones. Sounds so simple but it's not. Need some professional help to do that. Anxiety as you describe and as I sometimes feel can be totally crippling. I know.

Once a pattern is set and you start avoiding certain stressors or certain places it's like a huge trap or well and then it takes a lot of work to get back out of that pattern.

It's also very frightening so the earlier we learn how to manage our thought patterns and certain behaviours the better it can be.

I think I left it all a little too late. lol

Anyway, here's the links.
