I totally understand what you're going through. I have OCD and it only affects me when I'm anxious. I do what you call "checking". I'm I can't stop it when it does happen. It's hard and makes me late to appointments. While I don't have the symptoms that you exhibit, I turn also go through phases where I wash my hands a lot and use hand sanitizer.

Lexapro didn't work for me.

I hope that you feel better
