And, yes, it feels like that all...Glad you passed!<br /><br />And, yes, it feels like that all the time, at least for me. That horrible sick feeling that I need to be doing SOMETHING about (insert real or imagined problem here) and that I have to pick the right something, at the right time, or it will all go horribly, horribly wrong. And then realizing that there is nothing I actually can do (especially if I am not letting myself be crazypants controlling of others - dangit, 9/10ths of my favorite calming repertoire GONE, just because I don't want to be a jerk to others, lol).<br /><br />Really enjoying your blog btw.<br /><br />PenguinectomyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497129389773629007.post-45765279177192483982010-11-08T15:26:53.157-08:002010-11-08T15:26:53.157-08:00PS - I actually passed after all!

That "gotta-do-something-about-it-now, feel-icky-panic, can't leave it alone" experience, like worrying a scab you just know you should leave alone. Then the feeling passes, resolved or not, and it's onto the next thing.<br /><br />FrancieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497129389773629007.post-83612450743185826642010-10-11T15:43:22.561-07:002010-10-11T15:43:22.561-07:00Wow, I had the same thought a while back when I wa...Wow, I had the same thought a while back when I was fretting about stbxH's latest PD-driven shenanigans in our divorce case - he must feel this anxious churning feeling ALL THE TIME - how very unpleasant to have to go through life that way.<br /><br />Glad you were able to talk yourself down :-)<br /><br />Alicia(398)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497129389773629007.post-62094516857788264922010-10-10T16:09:32.600-07:002010-10-10T16:09:32.600-07:00"So as I’m driving home from the test site, i..."So as I’m driving home from the test site, it occurs to me, I wonder if this is how those with OCPD feel?"<br /><br />You are close. So many situations in an OCPD life are very similar to what you describe experiencing with the test. <br /><br />MBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
