That's the thing with OCD. It's completely irrational. But, my T said that not everybody knows that their obsessions aren't rational. So, at least we got that going for us, right? So, I just started therapy, and I can tell you what we are doing. We are picking one thing a week to work on. Starting at the obsessions that make me the least anxious. Example was for week one, once I locked my door at night, I wasn't allowed to go check it again. Every time I had the impulse to go check, I would say "I know the door is locked because I remember locking it". It still makes me crazy anxious sometimes, but I am leaving it. I guess the more we feed our insecurity, the more it grows. So, hopefully over time, I will gain some real confidence. Because you know what? The door is locked every single morning when I get up
