My checking had become severe while paying bills.
The entire process of writing the check, address, putting the stamp.
It involved many times repetitively checking over and over again, if I did not make any mistake.
The entire process is exhausting.
Thus, I decided to check only once, after I am done with the process of paying the bills.
I was able to do the therapy, but later, OCD started replaying in my mind, the process that I went through, creating doubts, that I made a mistake.
I got caught in the trap and did the mental compulsion.
When the doubt comes, it arrives with so much fear, and I just get sucked into ritualizing, and arguing with OCD.
I am trying to just accept the thought and let it be there.
It just keeps popping up in the brain frequently.
OCD is such a tormenting illness, it makes you doubt everything you do.
It creates fearful scenarios in the mind.
