thanks for the replies guys, - good to know its not just me
alankay - I don't take anything. to be honest here in the UK it seems very uncommon to take drugs for anxiety (i'm assuming that's what ssri is)
There's various things I check, repeatedly, obsessively. I find it sometimes helps to say out loud whilst Im checked something like 'yes the door is locked' then walk away, although this looks a little odd.
I also find that sharing with other people can help. My wife sometimes says, right now you've checked, leave it! Or sometimes she'll offer to lock up. Suprisingly I seem fine to let her take on the responsibility
