29m, Washington State. I've had OCD my whole life, diagnosed at 11. I'm married to the love of my life and we've been together 6 and a half years. I have chosen to be a teacher and I have my first contracted position starting this coming school year, and it's a 45 minute commute both ways. On top of that, my wife and I just bought a house and will be moving into it in a few weeks. We've only ever lived in a house that my parents own that we pay rent on. This will be my first year teaching and that coupled with the change in living situation/financial obligations is causing my anxiety to skyrocket. Anything advice/insight/etc. helps. Most people I've talked to have had the opinion that the commute is no big deal but it's weighing heavily on me. So far I've just substitute taught in the local district where I have a parent who works and driving to it is like 5 minutes.
