i force myself to not go check the doors of to see if i punched out but at the end thats all im thinking about until i check
what should i do i cant keep forcing myself to not check idk if theres pills or sumthing

Sounds like OCD mixed in with some paranoia. It is hard to say over the computer - and I am not a professional to say so anyways. You can go to one for help, just do not expect him or her to have the answers for you. There are medications for that, but they don't work like aspirin or antibiotics. Brain drugs are trial and error. Also, the thoughts come from you so you have to find strategies to help you cope. That is really what any professional is going to tell you - how to cope.

i.e. deal with it.

You do not sound too bad off yet, but the question is how do YOU feel about that. Is this getting in the way of your normal day to day activities? You are the one who has to make that call.

Mental health is more of a continuous process. We are all screwed in some way or another in this fashion.

i don't see this as OCD. you just made it a habit and honestly i don't find it wrong. You are just being protective and you're not annoying anyone with this so...just chill. you're not doing anything wrong.

Sounds like you worry about things, generally that is perfectly healthy.

doesnt seem to bad... tho it must be bugging you alot cause youre asking for help.. you sound pretty paranoid about it.. do you fear other people alot? do you have to make sure the doors locked cause you fear someone stealing your car? you really seem like you have a fear of humans intending to rob/harm you, do you watch the tv news alot or something? if this is the case my advice is to shake this fear if possible... yes easier said then done it is a journey no doubt but possible.. also you don't need pills for this. please remember that all is mental and avoid taking pills for problems when possible as alot of them are poisons, drug companies make money selling pills so they push for people to be perscribed for any and everything, sometimes all you need is a little meditation and some soul searching.. anyway good luck

everytime you punch in mark on your hand. when you lock your car doors mark on your other hand. make it your left hand is for punching in, and your right hand for car doors. thats what i do except different situations.
