Anxiety/OCD fears are taking over me

[Marc0133]

I don't know what to do anymore. Ever since the beginning of April, where some personal issues happened, anxiety and supposed OCD has hit me like a freight train. I say OCD because I'm constantly doing mental rituals, repeating words and phrases that ease my anxiety in my head and avoiding doing anything I feel that may make my fears come true. I have autism so maybe that explains it as well. Its gotten to the point where I'm afraid to talk about these things to my therapist because, again, I'm afraid my fears will actually happen. It never use to be this bad. Now there's something I want to do related to my hobbies but I can't because it has something that will trigger my anxiety. Any advice? Thanks

It's really not good for you to live in fear so try to banish the fear , let things happen but don't respond in fear , don't let fear be your state of mind , create a different attitude in your head

i would suggest to think of happy thoughts and try to talk slow , and drink water to see if that helps, but also, you know, do your hobbies slow , that is what i do cause i have the same thing but not ocd but i have issues talking
