Anxiety triggers

VaehStanifer July 10th, 2023

I have severe anxiety that has lead into worsening OCD. I’ve been having anxiety/OCD attacks more often lately and I don’t know why and I don’t know what my triggers are either I just become so overstimulated and angry out of no where. Does anyone have any advice??

I also am on medication that used to help me however it’s not working anymore and it doesn’t make sense. I’m already on double the dose of an average adult and I’m only 16…

I’ve recently started to journal! Simply to try and find a pattern or something that leads to my anxiety. I’ve made a few connections so far. And found things that mildly trigger me even if I don’t think they are. For example, I feel trapped and anxious when I close my front door. Because it gives me a sense of being alone in my house and having no one easy way out. I try to tell myself that I have to close my door because it is for my safety and I can open it if I need to get out. This is not easy at all, but you can do it!
