Didn't want to start a new thread so I'll post this here since this is about OCD and the computer after all. I'm sitting here and I'm about to hand in a lab report via email. My lab partner and I sent it in last week but got it back because we had answered two questions incorrectly. This time it has to be correct or we'll fail this lab and won't be able to redo it until August next year (!).

All I had to do was to change the answers on two questions (multiple-choice questions). Pretty simple thing to do since I'm pretty sure the answers are correct this time. But now I can't stop obsessing over how maaaaybe my answers will change as I send the document to the teacher or how maaaaybe the answers I've chosen are incorrect though I pretty much know they aren't or how maaaaybe I didn't change the answers at all. I keep going back to check and I keep going through the document over and over. So now I'm procrastinating instead of sending it (and I keep checking the document every five minutes or something). God. I'm so afraid of failing.

Good example of how OCD affects me when at the computer.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, Zwang.

EDIT: I eventually, about an hour after writing the post, had a panic attack and had to ask my friend (who's also my neighbour) to come over and make sure I had changed the answers and attached the right document to the email. My therapist would be disappointed (ok, maybe not disappointed but he wouldn't have agreed with my actions and I can see why).
