Hi this is my first time posting on here so I might have picked the wrong area!
I am struggling with a habit that has developed over the years. If I have a big event coming such as going on holiday, Christmas, family coming to stay I get this overwhelming need to complete a major task in he house before the event. For example we are heading away on holiday in 1 week and my eldest mentioned she would like to rearrange and repaint her room. I now have this overwhelming need to get it done before we go away despite the fact I have 3 x14hour shifts and the usual holiday organising to do in the next 6 days.
Does anyone else experience this and have you found a way to calm your brain and stop this train of thought?
