have to walk back and forth.

[willy]

hi all!

everytime i walk out of the store i work in, im hit with this panic and insecure feeling, it happens just as walk out of the store. i usuallly keep walking a few metres and then i have to turn around and walk back the other way. this makes me feel a little calmer.

this really does my head in sometimes. it can get me real down.

should i keep walking when i come out of the store and just put up with the anxiety and insecure feeling??

it makes me embarassed aswell.

Hi Willy,

I have a similar problem,mine is with twigs leaves and things on the ground.
I know I have not touched it but like you have to go back again.
It is to reasure yourself that it was what you thought it was.

I have been pacing with anxiety for years behide closed doors but recently been able to pace in public setting. I went to center the other day and I ended up going in to coles 6 time in one day on thursday I had my kids and legitimate reasons. I know the feeling of walking out of shop and feeling the need to go back in I never been able to make my self go back in fear of looking stupid but I walk away feeling I should go back and I think I sometime find real reason to give in to my compulsion's.
