>Oh yes. My OCD is pretty standard
There are a wide variety of OCD symptoms. Most involve repetitive behavior or thinking of some sort. I get 'bad thoughts' that pester me, sometimes until I'm driven mad.
>I'll wonder how I can be sure I didn't run over someone, or make some outrageous error at work.
Your compulsion is checking.
>I don't really consider it the root of my difficulties.
What do you consider to be the root of your difficulties.
The American Psychiatric Association recommends ERP as the first line of treatment for OCD. Do you have a therapist you work with regularly who specializes in OCD and practices ERP?
