My husband wanted to chip in. He says that HIS anxiety levels shoot up when I’m like that! lol
Also, he said that I do similar even when there isn’t a deadline approaching – I just THINK there is. It’s more of an impulse issue though than anything else.
For example, we were on our way to the beach yesterday. It’s a 2 hour drive. We pulled in for petrol and he said the second I turned off the engine I spotted the car wash and insisted that we HAD to get the car washed before we set off. I haven’t washed the car in about 18 months, maybe longer. It’s pretty dirty, I admit. But when we were trying to have a family day out? Really? It HAD to get washed there and then? (And we had set off pretty late because I couldn’t get it together sooner.)
Fortunately, now he realises what’s going on when I do stuff like this, he can just be really relaxed about it and help me sort out my priorities.
