ok so my list is very long so i'll just try to pick out a few good ones....
ok so for the duplicates....
-TP must come "over the top"
- blinds - pointed up
- car - i check that is locked 4-5 times even though i hear it beep and see the lights flash
- i too check my alarm like 5 times to make sure i put it on and everything is OK
her are a few new ones....
- i lock the car even when its in the garage
- i check that the light switch is indeed off even though i just saw the light go out...i sometimes feel like the switch only moved enough to cut the circuit but not enough to be in the full "off position" i fear this will cause a short and must check it LOL!
- all the food, spices, etc in my cabinets MUST be label out
- when a window in my house is closed it must be locked at all times
- if a pillow on my bed ever touches the floor i must replace the case as i feel the floor is dirty even though i vacuum a few times a week
My OCD is not nearly as bad as it used to be, i used to have crazy "rituals" (for lack of a better term) that i had to do every night before i went to bed and it involved checking the light switches, the door locks, the window locks, the stove, basically anything you could think of....the process would take like 30min and if i screwed up the order i'd have to start all over again....
i finally kicked that habit by talking about it with friends and realizing that it was silly...i think this forum might help people! even though i feel like a freak now haha
