One thing I’ve found is that I have kind of a fear of repetition. Usually this manifests at work if I’m in a job that’s repetitive. I have this kind of out of body experience where it’s almost like I wonder how long I’ve been there and how many times I’ve done the thing.

And in college I always tried to sit in a random seat for lectures. Any time I felt I sat in the same seat more than once I would start to feel anxious.

I’ve somehow been able to cope exercising, not sure how since I take a few laps around my block when it’s still dark out. I think it might be that I set a timer? I’m not sure, but there are times when I get that anxiety when I repetitive exercises.

I’ve been trying to research online for ways of coping, but I’m not finding much. The link I posted seems to be just an article on phobias in general, and “dittophobia” sounds like something someone just made up.
