Quote from Seamstress on December 22, 2020, 12:28 pmSometimes I get this especially when responsible for turning items off like coffee makers etc. I guess like anything else with OCD the best advice is to try to reduce the compulsions one step at a time as well as sit with the anxiety which is extremely difficult but it eventually goes down. I think it is more difficult as people who have OCD tend to not trust themselves and have a lot of fear and guilt which feeds the OCD.

I try my best to not do it so my advice is say to yourself ... I refuse and try to refuse to check it as long as possible! I sometimes check it ONCE AND SAY OUT LOUD IN PRIVACY OF COURSE " CHECKED" that way I remember I said CHECKED out loud and do not have the need to go back to it the second time,,etc.
