I really hope I get hired somewhere nearby. I can't find a job too far because of my anxiety issues. Driving with anxiety sucks. Filling out an online application with OCD and anxiety sucks. Quick story: I prepare myself to fill out an application all day long and when I finally feel ready to fill it out, the job position I want is no longer available. It did appear a day or so later, but I need to prepare myself for it. Ugh!!!!

Literally none of that or anything mentioned in the topic has to do with OCD.

Because I didn't go into full details. People with OCD have anxiety.

What you're describing sounds more like a generalized anxiety disorder, not any anxiety that might result from OCD. The kind of anxiety that an obsessive-compulsive might feel is more along the lines of, "Did I really lock that door?", which prompts them to drive back home twice just to make sure that the door is actually locked and even after that second check there's still some anxiety about that door possibly being unlocked.

And if your therapist is telling you that being nervous about filling out a job application or driving is the result of your OCD, you probably need to find a new therapist.
