I have not been diagnosed with OCD because i haven't been to my doctors to confirm it, because i feel like a drama queen. But about 4 years ago i bought two dogs and i noticed when ever i locked up, i had to check it several times, it started off just walking down the street and running back to check the front door, the oven, the hob, the windows, and the backdoor. then its progressed into constantly checking, taking pictures on my phone so i can check when im out that i did lock up. But now its turned into videos and is just getting ridiculous my neighbours must think im completely crazy pulling the handle up and down while filming the door muttering the front door is locked a few times!
i thought it was just a fear of someone breaking into my house but i check the door several times even if people are at home.
can anyone give me any advise on how to control this, without going to my doctor? much appreciated sophie
