Just curious how many people out there have certain rituals or routines that they do if they start feeling panicky or n*. I usually take tums and chew a piece of gum. Sometimes I'll take a xanax. I figured out that these rituals are all a form of control. I think subconsciously I make myself n*, and that triggers my need to perform the ritual. I think I'm heading down the road of serious OCD. I should probably see a therapist about this. ARGH!
