The need to be certain, to know for sure, is ever present, and you’ll do anything to feel that sense of certainty you’ve been chasing.  

You do whatever you can to neutralize the worry that comes with your thoughts. 

You check, and then check again, to make sure that you have left nothing to chance. You struggle with getting started, because of perfectionism. Or maybe, you feel uncomfortable, so you avoid the things you need to do to live your life. 

 Anxiety comes in many flavors. Just like ice cream. But unlike ice cream, there's no delicious taste in your mouth after experiencing anxiety. Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety, Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Health Anxiety, Specific Phobias, trauma-related disorders. Each has a specific protocol for treating it. 

Be gentle with yourself. There is a way out. With mindfulness and cognitive behavioral interventions, you can feel better.
