[KeepLosingMyWay*]

I think i probably have it, i've never been diagnosed or anything. I spoke to a counsellor once about it but she wasnt very helpful really.

It doesn't totally rule my life. During the day i get instrusive thoughts which are quite distressing, stuff like people getting hurt, dying ect... I call them 'bad thoughts' and i have to touch wood a few times so show i didnt mean them, so nothing bad will happen. I like the number 8 too mellymoo and tend to do things 8 times, like touch wood ect.

I check plugs, smell for gas, doors are locked, at night or before im going to have a nap. I don't feel safe unless i have, i wouldnt beable to sleep if i didn't. I do it over again sometimes, espeshelly smelling the gas fire and making sure the switch is definitly turned off. Sometimes its like, i can't feel safe unless i see its off right before i go to bed. I always check all my pets are ok, before i go to bed too and my mum.

I believe in god and i pray everynight, asking for 'everythign to be ok, and no bad things happen, and for him to watch over everyone' I don't feel safe if i don't.

Noone really knows the extent of it, i can say, to people, 'i'm a bit oc sometimes' but i wouldn't tell people anything like that. My mum knows about the plug checking and tries to get me to stop, but i go to bed really late after everyone.
