Therapy for OCD

Living with anxiety can be an overwhelming experience that impacts various aspects of your life but it doesn’t have to be. Get the help you deserve.

Common Symptoms of OCD

If you resonate with these common symptoms and experiences, it might be time to consider seeking anxiety treatment:

  • It all starts with a simple nervous thought that seems to take on a life of its own. Before you know it, your mind is trapped in a web of negative thoughts, constantly anticipating the worst-case scenarios. These worries can be all-consuming, making it difficult to concentrate or to enjoy the present moment.

  • Anxiety often manifests itself physically, leaving you with a constant tight knot in your chest or stomach. It feels like an invisible weight that holds you back, making it challenging to engage in activities or pursue your goals. You might also experience restlessness, muscle tension, headaches or stomach discomfort.

  • Anxiety can disrupt your sleep patterns, making it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night. Racing thoughts and worries tend to intensify when you are lying in bed, leaving you feeling fatigued in the morning.

  • If you find yourself playing the "what if game" on a regular basis, constantly imagining worst-case scenarios and potential dangers, you're not alone. Anxiety often involves a pattern of overthinking and catastrophizing, which can leave you feeling paralyzed and unable to make decisions or take action.

  • Even a few moments of peace and tranquility seem out of reach. It feels like there is a constant buzz of anxiety in the background, preventing you from fully enjoying moments of calm. The desire for a brief respite from the relentless worries becomes a recurring hope.
