Never enough: Working openly with anxiety

That is a great idea, Jimmy! This part of my OCD has not been as prevalent for me as it used to be, probably because I work from home most days. Thinking back to 2001, none of the tech existed that is so helpful today. Even something as simple as taking a picture on your phone was unheard of!
