10year sufferer of Anxiety

[Casper1]

Hi Im new to the site. I have severe anxiety coupled with some weird OCD habits. I have basically been trying to deal with this myself for the last 10 years. No-body else knows, not even my wife.
It is causing real problems, cause the only time I really leave the house is to go to work, which in itself is a struggle because driving or just being in a car triggers my anxiety worse than anything else.

I guess I really need some advice from people that understand.

Hi Casper,
I was like that since the service, once at work I was fine, the driving part was the hardest, hiding that from your spouse, was challenging, you first may want to consider telling her-that helped me then trying to hide it. This site has a lot of good info to research. I am not sure what you have tried, I can share what worked for me.
Just reply if you need support
