[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My anxious mother repeats. I remind her, "I understand. You don't have to say it again." And then she does, it's a compulsion for her. She says she does it to help herself remember, like a verbal to-do list. It's pretty annoying even though it's been a lifetime of it.[/quote] Has she tried writing it down? Seriously. Taking notes in an organized system is very calming, letting the mind stop juggling. [/quote] Oh yes. She has organized lists. Repeating is her way of reviewing things aloud, which isn't annoying in a vacuum, until she's doing it several times in a conversation and is looking for acknowledgement and/or feedback, "O.K.?" "Does that make sense?" "Right? Huh?"[/quote] Spouse does this and it is annoying. Ok you have anxiety and have to keep looping and repeating, fine. But then needing the comment acknowledge and responded to every single time is what is draining. [/quote]
