@leokatiecbt: Checking the lock, the stove, or the message you just sent can feel like the responsible thing to do. The trouble is that each check only buys a short stretch of calm, and then the doubt returns, often asking for a bigger check than before. Over time, this can wear down your trust in what you actually saw and did, which makes the next check feel even more necessary. That's what makes checking OCD so exhausting: the urge isn't really about the stove or the door, it's about wanting a feeling of certainty that no check can fully deliver. If this sounds familiar, you're not careless or dramatic. Support from a therapist who understands OCD can help you step out of the loop at a pace that feels doable. #ocd #checkingocd #ocdawareness #intrusivethoughts #ocdrecovery
