I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but I'm quite curious, cause I'm in desperate need of some answers.
Ill get to the point now, I have these moments in the day where I become hyper aware of my toes touching each other and also my fingers. Okay, okay I know this may sound weird but let me explain. When I'm writing I will suddenly think of only my fingers and how it feels for the skin on each side of my finger to touch the other and how the creases in my skin feel and it becomes so overwhelming that I get that awful, anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach and I have to separate my fingers, making sure skin is no longer touching anything or else I begin to feel a panic attack coming on. And with my toes I just become aware of how they feel in my shoes and not being able to separate them gives me intense anxiety. This will usually happen maybe 1-3 times a day, sometimes more depending on my anxiety levels of that day. Although the anxious feeling often goes away after a few seconds it is really interfering with my study. Currently I'm completing my HSC (Australia) which is equivalent to the SAT's or A levels I think. So anyways, doing the HSC is very stressful and this hyper sensitivity is happen more and more often each day and I'm scared that while I'm in my HSC exams that it will cause me panic attacks and I wont get the best marks that I know I can achieve.
Please if anyone has any thoughts or is going through the same thing (which I highly doubt for some reason. Maybe I'm just a weirdo) but please I need advice. Out of the friends I've told about this, they say it could be a form of OCD or just weird form of anxiety. Please I know its weird but any advice will be well taken :)
Thank you all xx
