I've suffered with obsessive anxiety for much of my life, but it's never got to the point where it stops me functioning, it's more something that grumbles away in the background. The focus shifts but it's always to do with the health and safety of people in responsible for. Currently my main worries are around household contamination, e.g. germs, asbestos, lead, etc.
I've just put a thread on AIBU about something I thought I was being quite sensible about but the responses show my thinking is massively skewed. But I'm also not a clean and tidy person - I get fixated on particular issues and fail to notice other things on my house that need doing. I just don't know how to sort this out - I want a clean and healthy environment for my kids but my efforts to create this are causing stress for all of us as I'm clearly not being rational about what needs doing.
Has anyone dealt with something like this? Counseling has not worked for me in the past.
