For over a year now my DH has been urging me to seek some help for a few 'issues' he thinks I have.
I've never actioned his concerns but it's getting out of hand and I'm scared.
First of all, he has been saying for a long long time that I become very fixated on something, long past the point it becomes irrelevant to the situation/topic. If we have a row and he says something I construed to be grammatically incorrect or wrong I will not be able to continue the conversation until I have shown him how he is wrong and how he should have phrased it.
Secondly, I have stopped most communications with my friends in a variety of friendship groups and rarely go out the house alone. I enjoy the company of those who know me best: DH, mum and dad.
Further to this, I have a very set routine and becomes very upset by small changes that alter my routine.
For example, I keep the baby bottles in the top left hand cupboard, and collect them, move them to the middle of the worktop to add the boiled water and then to the far right to add the formula. DH moved the bottles to the middle cupboard and I had a very sudden outburst, tears and I shouted. Having them in the middle doesn't make sense to me and it caused me great anguish that my little conveyer belt method of working from one end to the other wasn't possible.
I have a rare afternoon to myself and I decided to look into things.
His main concern is my fixation on things, be it a routine or a passing comment I will not let go.
I've been on google (I know, I know) and came across the AQ test.
I scored 38, re did the test and scored 36, re did the test and scored 38 again.
I don't fully understand the interpretation of the results, or what I should do?
I'm very anxious and saddened at the prospects of there being something 'wrong' with me.
