    Lock the door, check the handle five times, walk five steps, walk back, check the handle five more times, walk out of the apartment building, make it a couple blocks, get a panic attack about whether you actually locked the door, run back to check the handle five more times…

    And I don’t even have OCD. I can’t imagine the hell people go through who have it bad enough for a diagnosis. I’ve seen it from a distance though at my psychologist’s clinic, and my heart aches for them.
