I'm at the point where I know that I need to get over this terrible disease.
My OCD is definitely the worst at bedtime (in fact, during the day it's really not too bad). Checking the stove, checking the locks, checking this and that, it just goes on and on. I'm ashamed to say, but it's gotten to the point that I take a quick video with my phone or tablet to show myself that I've actually checked these things. That way if I'm lying in bed, I can turn on the vid and see myself having done the bloody check. Yes, I know, it's ridiculous.
OCD makes you doubt the most obvious things about reality, and it's like a thirst for absolute certainty that can never be quenched.
However, I will say that SOMETIMES, if I just calm my mind and just say "reality" -- almost like a mantra to myself -- I can sort of "snap out" of the doubtful thoughts and just go back to normal thoughts.
Anwway, any help would be much appreciated. This really is a terrible problem to have, and I feel ridiculous that I go through this when there are so many more legitimate problems in the world.
