I worry much too much

for example:

1) sometimes I'll rewrite a set of notes I took in school when I get home so that it looks exactly like I want it to.
2) if I don't finish my homework (or anything else I have to do) right when I get it it's always in the back of my mind bothering me and I'm unable to fully enjoy myself until I do it.
3) when working for someone, I always worry that I'm doing something wrong. I'll check and recheck things multiple times to make sure that I'm not.
4) I'm always thinking about how I could've done things differently in social situations.
5) when writing e-mails or making posts, I always read through it multiple times to make sure that I'm saying what I want to say.

does anyone know what I can do to get over this? I'm getting tired of feeling like this.
 
probably OCD

i'm pretty sure i have ocd as well. checking lightswitches/water taps like 8 times every time sounds like it to me. and that's not all, far from it 🙁

I'm the exact same way. My guess is that we're both obsessive compulsive. As to what could help? Counseling? I don't have so much of a problem with it myself, since I'd rather be anal about something than not care about it at all.
 
I can relate to #3 and #4. #1 helps you out a bit though. I rewrote, or typed, my notes from class sometimes. Definitely helped ligibility and helped me remember them.

1: I did that once, I just learned to take em right the first time in class. Just plan ahead how you want to organize your notes.
2: Same here, but I just plan out my day and so if I find that I have 2 or 3 spare hours, I'll play in those whether it be before or after homework without having a burden on my head
3) Work for someone as in? Like a job?
4) Don't worry, just stay calm and have a good time. 🙂
5) Seriously? Why? Remember Wdanqunag (sp?)? You should read some of his posts, lol. Seriously, people won't remember you as the person who never got his point across unless its natural and you do it everytime.
 
7) I'm also extremely paranoid. I clear my temporary internet files, history, cookies, and document history out multiple times in a day. I'm not even doing anything that I don't want anyone to know about. not to mention no one but me uses my computer.

EDIT: oh, let's not forget clearing my clipboard every time I copy some text.

Seriously? The rest I gave logical answers for but unless you're going to pr0n sites every 5 minutes at work when you were supposed to be preparing a meeting for the CEO, why do you do that? I reccomend just trying to get over it slowly. First things first, don't use the computer. Then when you do, tell yourself you have nothing to worry about or fear from online so no need to clear those files.

recopying notes is hte most useless time waster, in the time you spend recopying notes you could actually learn the matierial you are brainlessly recopying..

I believe writing (or rewriting) things helps you remember them better actually. I don't really need to remember them better though so it is a waste of time.
 
I'm so worried about what's hapening today in the Middle East, you know,
And I'm so worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.

I'm so worried about the fashions today. I don't think they're good for your feet,
And I'm so worried about the shows on TV that sometimes they want to repeat.

I'm so worried about what's happening today, you know,
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.

I'm so worried about my hair falling out and the state of the world today,
And I'm so worried about being so full of doubt about everything, anyway.

I'm so worried about modern technology.
I'm so worried about all the things that they dump in the sea.
I'm so worried about it. Worried about it. Worried. Worried. Worried.

I'm so worried about everything that can go wrong.
I'm so worried about whether people like this song.
I'm so worried about this very next verse. It isn't the best that I've got,
And I'm so worried about whether I should go on, or whether I shouldn't just stop.

I'm worried about whether I ought to have stopped,
And I'm worried because it's the sort of thing I ought to know,
And I'm so worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.

I'm so worried about whether I should have stopped then.
I'm so worried that I'm driving everyone 'round the bend.
I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.
