Catastrophising

I'm perceived by others as a calm person, good in an emergency as I think clearly and logically and don't panic.

However  .... this morning my fitted wardrobe door wouldn't fit.

To give some background, at the end of our garden, in the garden of a neighbour is a very large oak tree.

I've always been concerned that the roots will cause our 1930's house to subside.

So, I was sensible and did a check on the catch, which did look rather out of place.

However, I then went on to get a ladder and check the ceiling edges and walls of my bedroom and the room below and take everything out of the wardrobe to check the walls for signs of subsidence/cracks!

My husband came home, looked at me as though I were mad, and adjusted the catch and now the door shuts.

Doh.

So, is this related to autism, and is it something you do, even if it's just from time to time?
