I don’t really know when I began to have such a structured routine, but it is currently ruining my life. 

I have a routine in my head that I must follow by the minute or I will have an anxiety attack. I miss out on many events and activities if they interfere with my routine. It’s even gotten to the point where it’s hurting my relationships because nobody understands that I don’t want to follow this routine, I have to. I become irritable and angry at the people who mess up my routine even though I know they’re not trying to. It’s very hard to deal with this and I’m always on-edge, waiting for the time I’ve scheduled for the next part of my routine. 

I genuinely can’t handle this anymore so if anyone has any tricks to overcome this, I would really appreciate it. If not, I just hope that someone out there can relate to this and realize that you’re not alone.
