Does anyone suffer from OCD or any variation of it?
I notice that I check things compulsively...
like setting my clock, locking my doors, making sure I dont leave things behind etc

I do things compulsively all the time... and I tend to obsess over worries.

At work, I dont have a key to one of the offices, so I check more than 5 times to make sure I took everything out before I leave.

I usually set like 7 different alarms. 7 is not an exaggeration. I don't want to be late for anything.
I make sure the doors are locked up at night, and the curtains have to be drawn.
I have to check my face in the mirror to make sure it's okay. Like, no smudged makeup, no zits, nothing out of the ordinary.
I check behind doors, in closets, and behind curtains and furniture before I'll relax in a place.
I ALWAYS have to face the room in a restaurant, can't have too many untrustworthy people behind me.

I think body image problems and OCD are connect. Once I started obsessing over my body, I was paranoid about everything else.
