Anxiety isn’t just butterflies in your stomach

People face anxiety-causing situations regularly. Expectations at school, work, or home, as well as in relationships can be particularly troubling. Whether we’re about to take a big test at school, interview for a new job, or propose to our significant other, it’s normal to be nervous and experience what people refer to as “butterflies in the stomach”.

You leave the house, locking the front door behind you. Then you wonder: Did I turn the oven off? Or the iron?

It’s perfectly natural to want to double-check something. Everyone double checks things sometimes. But with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you feel an overwhelming desire to check things all the time. You may even have a routine or ritual you go through.
