Checking OCD: Signs, treatment, and more
“My checking OCD has revolved around intrusive thoughts related to my safety and the safety of my loved ones. Initially, it revolved around an intrusive thought that someone was going to break into my home at night and harm my family and me, so before going to bed, I would repeatedly check if my front door was locked. Eventually, it progressed to checking if all the windows in my house were also closed. After checking, I would doubt that I checked correctly, and have to do it all over again.
