Hi everyone! I struggle with generalized anxiety disorder so I would love to hear thoughts from those experienced with that. I find my anxiety to be pretty manageable. I used to have panic attacks and take medication years ago, however my mental health is in the best place it has ever been. Lately I have had anxiety about leaving the house and where to go. If I need to run errands, I experience anxiety about the order In which to visit the locations and pin pointing them on maps to calculate which distance makes the most sense. I currently need to get gas and I am questioning where to go & if I should go anywhere else while I'm out. Simple things like considering if I should grab groceries while out today or grab a soda from McDonald's are causing me anxiety when deliberating. Hopefully that makes sense, but I do not understand why I am struggling with these choices and why it causes me stress to decide where to go/what order/etc. it makes me really not want to go anywhere at all

Adding that I have OCD as well which may contribute to this issue

i definitely understand i struggle with anxiety too. i have struggled with it for years and it felt like a huge step backwards when i had to get back in meditation but even though my mental health was also in a good place it helped me a lot. so my advice would be to look up way to destress like yoga or meditation otherwise i would think about consulting a doctor about anxiety medication
