So... I've recently been on to a psychiatrist, thinking I had OCD, I was constantly obsessing, overthinking and worrying. It's not just that I'm worried about bad things happening, it's almost as if I'm planning for if they do, which is quit frankly sad. I've been told that I don't have OCD but possible Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, which I guess is self explanatory! I'm basically a serial worrier, I'll worry about speaking to a certain person because I might have said something stupid 10 years ago. I'm worried about everything, I can't do anything without worrying and obsessing, realistically. I've had an anxiety disorder for around 8 years now, and with panic attacks I'm ALWAYS physically sick, this manifested from an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder which caused me to throw up with every panic attack and then it just kind of became a habit to help the panic attacks. 

This hasn't only had a negative effect though, there has been positives to the obsession. When I play a sport, I have an obsession to improve and nothing is ever good enough, this has gotten me to a VERY high level in anything I set my mind to, I strive for perfection that doesn't exist, which I perceive as a good thing in some aspects, it's not all doom and gloom!
So the advice I need is: 
1) For those of you that have been in this situation before, what did you do to help it or even prevent it?
2) The same question goes to those that are physically sick with panic attacks, what helped you?

Thank you for reading, peace out!✌️
