Not sure please help

I’m not sure I have been riding horses since I was a baby. Over the past three years I have been debating if I like riding. My horse has been slipping and it has really been effecting me. All is I question is she is dangerous to ride. Before this happened all I could think about was riding was a chore. It is very hard to differentiate if I really like the horses. I woke up at 5 am worrying about it. I j feel like I don’t want them. It is causing me to fall in a depression and it’s all I think about. Please advice.

Thank you so much for your openness in posting, Bruin. It sounds like this question/decision surrounding your horse and riding is causing you a great deal of distress and anxiety. Would that be accurate? I am wondering if you would find it helpful to bring this up with an OCD specialist. Unfortunately, as I am not a licensed clinician, I cannot provide any advice or direction, but I would love to be of help if you are interested in connecting with someone who can be of help!
