Re: Lots of irrational fears right now =/ - February 5th 2010, 12:27 AM

Hey Cara,

For me, this is completely OCD. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is an anxiety disorder, and can manifest itself in a lot of different ways. One of them is through obsessions, panicking about worst case scenarios, analyzing different things, getting "stuck" in the cycle of worrying, etc. So that's something to look into.

Either way, definitely a good idea to talk to someone about it. In terms of a blood test, I don't see why that would be necessary, not to worry! Just be honest--let them know how you're feeling, what you're thinking, etc. Give specific examples, like worrying at your mom's house, and just answer their questions honestly--they'll figure it out and ask you more questions if they're still not clear.

Best of luck--it gets better, I promise!
