I do not trust my eyes...

I have a controlling issue, which means when I go out of the house I control the cooker over and over again, or if the iron is off. Etc etc. A few years ago it took me 1 hour to get out of the house, now it has reduced to 10 mins.

I work in the medical sector and I do lab work which means I have to be heavily concentrated. Now, a mistake happend, nothing extremely serious but its still bothering me and makes me control more.

When I check on things, I lack the trust that I did check. Its as if I cannot trust my eyes.

Does someone experience something similar?

Not entirely,however a mistake made seems forbidden to me, so woe is me if I make one. I recently was fatigued and spoke to a parent in my program regarding her helping her children do the tasks I gave for homework and to stop bringing the children on dads weekend as they only dread going back to dads afterwards and won’t work for me. So, the following week she emailed saying they wouldn’t be in as son was in full panic that he didn’t do enough of the work, citing I said it in front of him. Even though this family uses blame as a regular shifting of responsibilities, I still can’t let it go that I didn’t draw her aside and be frank to her and her alone. I probably won’t see this family back in the program as a result. It’s beeb three weeks since this happened and I’m still over focused on not making that mistake again, and of course beating myself up for doing it in the first place.

I have sort of the same reaction when I am looking for things (I sell things online so there is a lot of stuff around). I feel a little like I must be going crazy because something I am looking for must be there but I just can't see it. I start getting really anxious. I think this is a little normal with people who can't find keys, etc but goes a bit beyond that with me

Purusha, I have OCD as result of prisoner/concentration camp type experience in a war as a youngster. I check things over and over again in a psychological attempt that nothing bad happens. We are trying to stabilize our existence, because we had such an unstable existence in the past. In my case I didn't know if I would live to see the next day for weeks on end. It's also why I only trust very few people in this world. Also, is a contributing factor in my CPTSD and IED (Intermitant Explosive Disorder).:D
