OCD

I totally remember being in the movie theater when it happened… “Did you turn off the stove?” Oh no! Not again…please no! NO! The previews had just finished playing and the movie was to begin at any moment but,
Yeah … you guessed it! I drove back home to check and guess what…The stove was indeed off!
Or how about when my commute to work was 45 minutes – an hour (one way) and I had to turn around 40 minutes into my journey to check if I locked the door (Sigh)

People can laugh at us all they want but can you agree with me when I say…that’s suffering! Especially when it begins to affect your livelihood.
