hey guys...lately i have been questioning some of my actions, and i dont really know if they mean anything or not but just wanted someones opinion before i drive myself mad thinking about it! i have been noticing that lately i have been slightly more cautious lately...well maybe thats not the right word, but for instance, before i leave my house in the morning, i always always have to double check (sometimes even 3 or 4 times) that i turned my hair straightner off, even tho i know i have. ill find myself outside my door about to leave, and think, i should just check, to make sure, irrationally thinking that if its on, it might just overheat...start a fire...etc etc. thats just one example, but sometimes ill do the same w/ my car in the parking lot to make sure i locked it, and other little things. the other day i brought it up to my bf and he just said i was a little obsessive but it was probably just because i worry about things. so that brings me to my question i guess, how do you know if these things are all just because i tend to be more anxious than most people, or if its something like OCD that i should pay attention to? when i was little, i used to stare at my watch until the seconds (it was digital) were a number that ended in 5 or 0, to me that seemed like a good place to stop looking. ok writing that out was really hard cuz ive never really told anyone that, i always thought it was so stupid. anyways, ill stop rambling, but any ideas or opinions would be greatly appreciated by you guys!
thanks for reading...
