Childhood trauma,Anxiety,Procrastination

I do not know how to describe my situation but I have been anxious a lot lately, getting offended on small things, past incidents are coming to my mind and then I am getting angry about those things.

Further, she washes her more often now, the contamination issue is there, also she talks in a very depressing tone thinking she would never be getting out of this. Suggest
