I have an office job that I hate. I'm not an office person. I do better in jobs where I keep moving. But I sit here and I feel like I am harassed constantly by my own thoughts. All day long I keep thinking about moving somewhere warmer, or worrying about the winter, or some other thing. It makes me miserable and I don't want these thoughts in my head.
I even spoke to a counselor who told me to stop thinking negative thoughts. She even gave me techniques to stop. But it doesn't seem to work. Yesterday, I thought I was going to break something. I couldn't sit in my chair anymore staring at my computer. I feel like my thoughts are a storm and all I can do is wait for the storm to pass.
Is that OCD?

I have a desk job and get restless too and since sitting too much isn't supposed to be good for you anyway, get up and just take a "lap" thru the hallways and back sometimes, or even sometimes outside the building. It does help, physically and mentally, to give yourself a brief time out from whatever.
