I see listed: Conditions as ocd, anxiety ; adhd but i don't know if you are receiving any medications or therapy for this. Start with a medical eval. It may uncover underlying medical problems that need to be addressed. Seeing a therapist cognitive behavioral therapy can be quite effective. Psych meds may be indicated. Aim for daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep per night ; good nutrition w 5 servings of veggies.
