I think I may have a problem...Help! What do you think?

I think I have an anxiety disorder and need to be medicated.

I'm a perfectionist. I am not happy with an A on a test, unless it is above a 95%. I study and study and get very upset when I don't understand things in school.

I am the opposite of a procrastinater. I can't relax until I've done as much as I can possibly do.

I am a neat freak. I clean every day, a lot. My bf and mom make fun of me for it. I cannot relax until my house is spotless. I want to have the cleanest, neatest house.

I smoke ciggerettes to calm myself down. Sometimes, I smoke pot to relax. Do you think I have an anxiety disorder? I'm worried that my doctor will think badly of me if I talk to her about this.

I think you're just a Type A personality. I have a lot of similar characteristics. It's not entirely a bad thing as Type A people tend to be overachievers. It sounds like you get a lot done and you get very good grades. Obviously, you put a lot of stress on yourself by being this way. You can't really change the way you are but you really need to find healthier ways to relieve stress than smoking cigarettes or pot. I find that Pilates, yoga, bike riding, listening to music, reading and playing video games helps me wind down. Try cultivating some more hobbies and try exercise and also maybe talk to your doctor. Maybe he/she can help you quit smoking and recommend some better ways of dealing with stress for you.
