Hey
just quickly
i will elaborate more on it later on but i think i have the 'checking' ocd, like i will go check the dogs water bowl to make sure it is full with water (even though i just filled it 5 mins ago), i check on average prob 3 or 4 times, then i check to make sure i turned the tap off, i prob check that about the same ammount of times as well. Then comes the back door, i can easily check to make sure i locked it (and test to make sure it's locked) about 10 times on average, same with the garage doors and the door leading to the garage from the house, and the window in the kitchen i check a few times before i leave to make sure its shut and off. Next all the switches and lights, i make sure all the switches possible (toaster, kettle, iron, lights) are off and everything is unplugged, including taps (bathroom sink and kitchen sink) then i do a quick walk round the house checking everything inside (including doors) to make sure its all off, unplugged, locked and shut. When i leave the house (finally) i check both the screen and wooden front doors 3 or 4 times on average to make sure they cannot be opened once locked. Then i check the side fence to make sure it's shut and cannot be swung open by the wind (only check that once though, but i must check it).
How bad does this sound in terms of your OCD or OCD that you know.
and does anyone have any tips on how to deal with it.
Thanks heaps everyone
