@ocdbrian: Checking OCD is not double checking the door and going to bed. It is standing in your own hallway at night, keys still in your hand, unable to believe a bolt you just watched slide shut. I used to call myself careful. Careful people lock up and sleep. I kept ending up on the floor by the door. Here is the trap: checking works for about twenty seconds, then the memory goes fuzzy, so you check harder, and every time you check, the doubt learns it was right. You cannot argue your way out of it alone at 1am (I tried, for years, with a chain latch and a chair). If this is your brain, Choiceful is the app I recommend for OCD. It builds a 100% personalized treatment course around your exact intrusive thought, plus 24/7 therapy chat for the nights the loop will not close, and users see clinically significant improvement in OCD symptoms. You are allowed to walk away from the door.
