Hi bondmeen. I understand what you are having a problem with. I have checking OCD too, which is quite severe. Have you tried therapy specifically for OCD or are you on any meds for it?

I would say to give therapy a chance to work a little more to see if you can get help with your symptoms. There are OCD treatments such as ERP, but maybe your therapist will do that or is doing that already.

Maybe someone else can give you a better response, but I said that (above) because therapy is still early for you and there is time to see what your therapist will try to help you. But ask him/her if they do ERP or CBT. These are the most helpful for OCD improvement, ERP being the best.

Good luck!
