Oh yeah your in the right group here. I don't have to count stuff like that but i certainly check and re-check my doors to see if they are locked even though i know i just checked i got to do it again and again and again...and I have been in therphy for sometime and it has worked some on this problem as well.

I've got this fear sometimes, that I might find something (any little thing) has simply disappeared from existence, or that I may find some little inconsistency (however minor) in reality as I know it--which would prove that reality isn't as I know it, that it isn't stable or consistent. That thought really scares me. I used to go through the entire house looking for some little, insignificant item that seemed to have disappeared, just to reassure myself it still existed. Top that for weirdness!

road rage...ihate it when someone pulls out in front of me and goes ten feet no blinkers on and makes a turn
In my mind i am slamming into them knocking them off the road and saying YOU WONT DO THAT AGAIN...and by the time i think this the car is gone and i really wonder if i did that...sometimes i have went back to check and all is fine...

Hmmm doesnt sound as if you have ocd, more just a little trait....unless it largely interfers with your life i dont think so. Is that the only thing you do??

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
