Q: I live in a sorta bad neighborhood, and every time I'm by myself I'm always looking out the window like every 5 minutes, and when I'm walking around, I'm always looking everywhere like a panic...also when I'm in class, i notice that i get really irritated when one of my teachers keeps explaining thing on and on and i have to talk or move around or do something...do i have have anxiety??? ok i figured that in class its just because im popular and i always talk, and the whole afraid of being alone in my house might be because of such a bad neighborhood. But ever since i got this turtle as my own pet, i've been wayyy calmer. My friend said that maybe i'm just hyper, or maybe have seperation anxiety... i do have OCD a little bit, but my mom said that everyone has a little bit of OCD...
A: Do you feel as though if you don't look out the window something bad would happen? Do you find yourself unable to concentrate aside from it? You do have anxiety, but I think you might be having a little bit of OCD to combat it. If you can't stop looking out the window every 5 minutes you should look into a psychologist. I used to have it to combat my anxiety, and you don't have to live with it... if you live with your parents, talk to them about it... if you dont seek some sort of help it just gets worse...
