I'm still here, think-positive! I think that OCD and panic are a way of releasing anx that we have about things in general. I deliver pizzas and have for 16 years. (Don't laugh!) It can be very stressful if you're trying to do a good job and run the store properly. Driving 600 miles a week has been my life for years. Then I had an unexpected horrible panic attack while driving a few months ago, and WHAM, all of a sudden I'm terrified to drive. I am getting past it now, thank goodness. But see, even though the job was stressful for all those years, it didn't bring panic. And the panic I felt while driving, had nothing at all to do with the driving or the stress at work. But it sure turned it into a work problem. So you feeling stressed is probably just the OCD in general. What kinds of OCD symptoms do you have? Do you have panic attacks, too? I have to run down to the barn for about 30 minutes and tend to the animals, but I will answer you when I return.
