efes Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I actually am over said routines being interrupted, but out of all the anxiety that caused me to think that I had to solve the problem right away, I had a bad tantrum which caused me to mentally kill past enemies, and I'm worried about myself that I am capable of being that angry over nothing, and that's why I am posting this. Anyway, this post isn't about the worry I just mentioned, but rather how I could prevent myself from worrying that I have to do things right away if they're causing me that much anxiety.

OK, look at this as an OCD -induced worry. Look for the core belief - why is it telling you to do things right away? What's the "or else?". Then face up to that through structured exposure and response prevention until the anxiety eases away. Link to comment
cookiemonster Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I also have irrational responses and see red when my anxiety raises (also suffer from road rage). I get panicked and feel frustrated that things aren’t going as I want. Running late for work, can’t load a website etc etc. I suffer from ocd, depression and perfectionism, social anxiety. I find exercising has helped and also medication. Link to comment
