Obsessive Checker

[abbeyh0116]

Hey There

I’m new here

I have a problem of obsessively checking my phone is on silent especially in class

I also have a problem of counting everything and getting anxious if I don’t get it to 10

I would really appreciate if someone experiencing or has experienced something similar to this that they could message me

If it matters, I am a year 10 student from Australia

I do the same thing. For years and years now. I have moments where the numbers change but usually its 5 times i need to fix or check something. But now now its 5 sets of 5 so its exhausting. Sometimes to try and defy the obsessive checking or need to do something a certain amount of times, i modify it in some way so its not that much off what i feel the need to do but it doesn’t cause that much anxiety from not doing it the right way. Then slowly keep modifying it until you don’t need to do it anymore
