Obsession

Richard m

Hi 

 Does anyone else experience with obsession over non objects.  I seem to be obsessed with a parking space and parking round my house. I have a particular spot outside my house on the end of a row where 98% I park my vehicle. If someone parks there or there's a sudden rise in cars which would threaten this space I get really stressed and anxious. I've tried explaining to neighbours and some understand. But I'm like obsessed. If I see a new car in the road I stress. It's starting to run my life which is not good and I need ideas on how to let it go but it feels impossible.  We have a space on our drive for our car but I drive a company van also but I don't like the idea of a van infrony of the house on drive. It would block the view out the window I would just see back end of my van.  Any suggestions would help.

  • I'm so glad I have come across your post. I have pretty much the exact same problem. My street is a nightmare for parking. We have had a massive increase in car owners on our street and some of them park quite inconsiderately. So where you could get two cars in a space they will park over the two spaces. I feel this is taking over my life too and just want the thoughts and anxiety to go away. I don't even have a drive so it's a constant battle for parking spaces on our cul de sac.

    If you get any coping mechanisms I'd love to hear about them.
