I’m really excited because a video game I‘ve been waiting on comes out tomorrow, but my excitement has turned into anxiety somehow :( 

I can feel an OCD spiral coming up and I’m desperately trying to calm it down so I can play this game tonight. Any tips appreciated :)

My ocd does this all the time! Seriously, it’s the same thing! I would say just try to ignore it until you get the game. Maybe try some breathing and something that you’re used to using to relax. And then when you finally get it play it immediately. Completely focus on the game so it can be a distraction from your ocd! If anything, that can be something to look foward to as well! Hope I could help and enjoy your game! :)

Thank you so much!! I appreciate the advice :) Just gotta hang on for a few more hours haha

@Anonymous  I hope your anxiety lets up! I go through the exact same thing and it’s kind of nice having someone to relate to :)
