yes i do the same...before i go to sleep, i have to check the doors and the windows are locked because i'm afraid of thiefs...and whenever i hear a little noise , my heart begins to beat strongly and i sweat...i've got the feeling that someone is hidden into my house and wants to hurt me
It would be normal, but you only need to do it once. But I can't talk, because in the morning I have to make sure my flat iron is unplugged about 5 times.
There's nothing wrong with doing that, it's just making sure everything's in order and safe.
So good for you. :)
This is the foundation of OCD, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which is something the haunts me too. OCD is normally caused by a lack of security growing up and can become extreme in all parts of your life. You need to control it, but honestly I agree with the security precautions. Although i don't check the house for people, I do however run windows and doors, as well as all key items in my office and throughout the house.
it sorta depends,
no one has the right to say its not right, or its stupid.. i use to do some of that stuff everynight, because of who was in my life, hopefully you'll get over it and everything will be ok :)
Its not OCD like some people say. Its either being a hypocondriac (afraid of certain things and needed to double check things when not needed) or paranoia. I beleive its the first one. Its not serious, just talk to your doctor about it if you need to. He'll be a good consultant.
its about the same amount of OCD i have but i can still function as you can without taking too much time out of your day.
i am deathly afraid of middle eastern terrorsts,(im very patriotic) a bald neo-nazi with a swatzika knife, pedophiles and jonas brothers. if i see anything that reminds me of it i put it away and take sleeping pills to (end my fear) till morning
Its mild OCD. As you do it each night, tell yourself that you don't need to do it more than once.
I mean, locking doors and windows is OK, but do everything just once.
You know there's NEVER going to be anyone hiding in your closet or under the bed, right?
