I have suffered OCD on and off since i was around 10. It seems to manifest itself through different mediums some of which being sleep/germs/safety of loved ones. I have always been able to keep a lid on it and try not to let it get on top of me. I work in a healthcare setting and recently an intrusive though of catching a blood borne infection through a needle stick injury has been stuck on my mind. I regularly take bloods as part of my occupation and this thought has been stuck on my mind for a few months now, even to the point of checking my gloves after seeing a patient. I carry out the checks (fill glove with water to look for puncture marks) which seems to ease my mind but the doubts always seem to come back even after the checks. Is this typical OCD behaviour? Its even got to the point where i am looking for clinics to get tested.
