My OCD is largely in remission. It involved a variety of things including checking that doors were locked, over-washing, rubbing corners just to be sure everything was safe, and counting rituals.

I’m glad yours is in remission. Mine has been manageable for a few years but is worse lately due to severe anxiety & stress. I think it’s trauma related as it has to do with safety issues relating to my cat.

I check the faucets and the stove. It used to be worse. I got some therapy for it but when I am really anxious I tend to do it more.

Exposure therapy was the biggest help for me.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
