Ask your dr: It sounds like you're being prescribed psych meds by your Dr. If so, make sure they are aware of these anxiety symptoms. Also, research shows psych meds alone are not as efficacious as meds with psychological treatment, so find a good psychologist who specializes in anxiety also. Good luck!

OCD: It sounds like you're dealing with an obsessive compulsive process along the same lines as someone who pulls their hair out or picks at their skin which are both diagnosable mental disorders.
