How can I manage my anxiety, OCD and type A personality?

BA0805 asked:


I am a bit of a control freak and have unrealistic standards for myself. I am a perfectionist and have a horrible fear of failure. I am a workaholic who doesn’t always know when to say when. I have been medicated before but want to manage this on my own. List making and piorotizing helps but I was wondering what my fellow type-As do to keep things on an even keel.

Thanks!

Oppie asked:


Would I be considered a workaholic? I spend roughly 6 days a week at work, working anywhere between 12-16 hours a day. I am 26 years old and have been promoted each year since working for my current company. My wife likes the life we live and she is looking into quitting her job. I say in order for us to maintain the life she and I like she has to continue working as well as I working the way I do. I enjoy the job I have as well as the people that I work for and with. The downside is that I am very rarely ever home and my wife has been aggrevated because I am not home.
