i obsessively worry all the time about work, home safety ie checking doors, windows, oven controls; i've had this for years
i also worry that i may have made mistakes, or hurt someone somewhere but while obviously i wouldnt i dont know why i would think that
things pop into my head and i start to obsess about them

stress makes it much worse and at the moment i 'm on cipramil but it's not really kicked in yet
i'm still working as i felt that to go off sick wouldn't be in my best interests, but i've got some leave coming up soon so that will give me a chance to rest
even on my days off i obsess about situations at work
i eat healthily and exercise regularly and dont smoke or drink so i am doing some things right!
i'm going back to see my doctor next week to review how i'm coping
i can distract myself but the obsessive worrying is usually always there or it creeps back
when i was a kid, i had these weird rituals i had to do or i would be scared that bad things would happen
i've never been officially diagnosed with ocd but i know the stress and anxiety bring the symptoms on
anyway hopefully the meds will work!
