Any?

@Jher55 Yeah I definitely have issues regarding OCD and my work. I’m always re checking nuts and bolts to make sure they are torqued and tight aswell as re- checking any wiring I do to make sure there aren’t any exposed conductors and I get a lot of intrusive thoughts wondering if I fixed the elevator properly or if it will break down again.

@Jher55 Most people will say that is is just is just double checking your work, but with us with OCD we are checking and rechecking. Sometimes I check 20 times.

@Jīngāng láng Exactly! Same here! I’ll check it like 20 times but still doesn’t feel right to the point my memory gets fuzzy and I’ll literally forget the next seconds even if I literally just torqued it a second ago It still feels like I didn’t! it really is crazy just how ocd can make anything feel untrustworthy!

@Jīngāng láng How long have you been in the field?

@Jher55 Exactly right! The more i check the less certain I become.

@Jher55 About 4 and half years now. Just finished my apprenticeship 6 months ago

@Jher55 How bout you?

@Jīngāng láng Yep and it’s just crazy how the mind really does make you question so much even though you know it’s okay the first time around! Nice! and I’ve been in the automotive field for about 6 years. I remember when I started noticing some ocd symptoms. I left a drain plug loose one time and vehicle came back and the cylinder heads were starved of oil and that’s when it all went slowly declining and eventually started getting a little worse then eventually turned into other OCD subtypes. I just got diagnosed in July last year! What about you? When did you start to notice something different?

@Jīngāng láng I can honestly say my job is what brought OCD out

@Jher55 That’s intresting! It almost seems like u were afraid to make another mistake like that at work so u learnt the compulsive behaviour to protect yourself. That’s understandable. Sorry u have to deal with that!

@Jher55 So I’m 20 years old now, I first noticed OCD when I was 11 years old with my first theme as magical thinking OCD, I would compulsive re- walk through door ways and turn light switches on and off until it felt right. From then I knew something wasn’t right, Then as I got older it turned into other themes aswell, got really bad at 18 and 19 when I started to suspect it was OCD. Then went to a psychologist and got diagnosed, now I’m in ERP.

@Jīngāng láng Yea that’s basically how it went but, pretty crummy! Dang, such a young age! but erp is excellent! Glad to hear your getting some erp. OCD sucks but we’re managing it! My ocd is a little of everything honestly, religion, pocd, contamination ocd, real event ocd, you name it. How about you?
