Thread: is OCD such a bad thing?

My doctor believes I have OCD and wants me to got to sessions to help me change the way i think.
this came up as i have a stomach problem and now he thinks the fact that i apparently have OCD is makin my stomach reject food.

Every night I check the doors and things before i go to bed.
I do this in a particular order so that I know its all done.
If i ge distracted or something I go back to the beginning and start over.
if my partner leaves the bedroom to get a drink or whatever i go back and check everything again
i check everything 4-8 times a night and sometimes film myself doing it just so that i can go to bed.

I do this because we have recently moved and i worry about the doors being locked n things like that.
I dont see this as OCD so I dont see the point of going back to the doctors. I just want them to fix my stomach.
Safety is a good thing right???

If doesn't stop you from functioning in life properly, then I wouldn't worry about it.

You have an OCD. Do them once and for all, close all the doors have a check list in your hands and mark them as you go along. Sit in bed and look at that completed check list. If you still feel the need to get up and go around and check it again even though the check list it's all done - then youv'e got a problem.
