Daily anxiety

How can I deal with the disgust of my front garden? Now the wheelie bin was there it feels tainted horrible and I want to move. It use to feel clean now the garden seems dirty?

this sounds a lot like an OCD/Cleanliness issue. Have you looked into any therapy for the OCD side of this? I’m assuming it applies in other areas of your life and not just your garden?

Dig everything up and lay down concrete. This way you can bleach and spray wash to your heart's content. A lot cheaper than moving house

I am still finding it hard to cut out the fizzy drinks. Often on trains I feel anxiety perhaps the fizzy drinks like cola are a possible me cause? I am finding it hard to cut it out though ?

You overthink things Phil.

Have you tried sparkling water instead?

Nope not tried that.

I have been trying to drink bottled water but not sparking. Orange juice seems to give me a sore stomach so can’t drink much of it

Well I managed to clean my windows the pole maybe hit the ground once but I tried to tell myself my shoes touch the ground and come inside. However my compulsion was to move my rucksack and iPad upstairs bad news is I never shut the bedroom door so my urge was to replace the ipad and camera again. Now I done that not long ago but that’s the problem I only managed to suffer mild anxiety about the ground but it triggered more ocd so when people say exposure therapy how does it work when it simply makes me worry more about other stuff?

How safe is it to go to Europe with the Coronavirus? I may have to waste thousands of pounds on a holiday due to anxiety about catching the virus? If I do perhaps so would have an awful time just worrying?

Update Virus has hit Scotland worrying news

I don't think coronavirus would penetrate your anti contamination measures, Phil. You're probably the most well protected man in Scotland.

Pulisa's right - I bet the virus is more afraid of you than you are of it
