Are there certain tasks you have to repeat doing over and over?
For example, whenever I write something I have to keep reading it over and over maybe 10 times or more. Whenever I pass my fridge, even if I know there barely any food in there, I still feel the urge to open it ever time I pass it to check if theres anything new to eat. haha.
Is there anything you need to do?

Checking to make sure the doors are locked.
Checking my Fluther account.
Scoop the poop. (The cat’s litter box)
I check my email like 56476594 times a day. For some odd reason it’s a habit. I feel like I must do it constantly because of incoming emails from work, friends, family. Mainly work though. If I go too long without checking it I start to get concerned that I may be missing something really important….not to mention I have 3 different email accounts to keep up with. Checking them is a full-time freaking job.
Wiping down counter tops. (bathroom and kitchen) I also do the reading the same thing a bazillion times as well!
If I’m adding up a bunch of numbers on a calculator, I can do that over and over again and never come up with the same total!!
It’s called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
@SeventhSense – Yeah I got tons of symtons that point to it ;) But I’ve never been checked, so dunno!
Well put it here. I’m pretty sure I washed my hands today.
I’m pretty sure you don’t mean chores… so, checking if doors are locked; making sure I turned off the coffeemaker; this time of year, checking if I turned off the Christmas lights when going out; oh, & checking the doors again, in case they unlocked themselves while I was checking one of the other things.
