Anxiety about the past/nostalgia? - February 9th 2016, 07:28 PM

I'm not really sure what this is and why it makes me so anxious..
Whenever I experience nostaliga or read/hear/see something that reminds me of the past (for example, if I hear a song that I used to listen to a year ago) it makes me so so anxious. I start getting really worried and I don't understand it. It worries me because I don't feel like the 'same' person that I was a year ago, etc. (or like when I was when I listened to that song). It makes me so anxious and I hate the feeling so much. Like I almost start crying because I don't feel like the same person - obviously I shouldn't feel like the same person because a lot has changed over the past year and I've grown up a lot but it still makes me so worried.

I'm thinking I might have OCD so this might link into it. does anyone experience a similar anxiety to this, does anyone have any advice on how i can cope with this?? it makes me feel so so scared and worried and i dont understand it
