Hi, i started getting these obsessive thoughts about a year or so ago, mainly to do with plugs, & the front door, would have to check them over & over again, my mind would spiral out of control, that the house would burn down, i would be homeless, front door was left open, house would be ransacked, sometimes i would have to go up & down the stairs 4/5 times before i could leave the house to check the iron, even though i unplugged it from the wall on the first check

i've kind of learned to live with it, it comes & go's, recently its come back really bad, having to drive back to check things, standing in front of the front door & keep looking at it, that IT IS SHUT etc, i have been having a hard time in T at the moment, started T due to PTSD, trauma incident a few years ago, i assumed my obessions developed because of this?

But i read within one of sticky links that it is not linked to PTSD, have i developed this independently?, nothing to do with my PTSD or trauma?, i assumed it was just another symptom of PTSD

as you can see, my knowledge is limited!, your wisdom & knowledge would be much appreciated.
