I don't know if this is the same, I do forget in the same way as you but I also can't remember what I've said to people and keep going over conversations and just can't get it. It really frustrates me and my head feels so confused. The only thing I do is slow down and simplify my life and try and stash calm but if you are working that's bound to be hard. Sorry my post prob won't help...hope u get some better answers ☺

I've been advised for years to seek help with this. I know its OCD and I put it off for so long but it got so bad I had to do something so I went to my GP. I actually feel relieved since even though it has striked up a new worry (that being referred to mental health will result in social services taking my daughter). Anyway my dad (who is a great dad BTW and a good person) has started asking about it. I have hit and run OCD as well as checking. He started laughing when I explained that every time I feel a bump I have to turn back. I know it sounds mad and I understand why he can't get it, but it really annoyed me and upset me. I just can't get the words to explain to anyone really what its like. I thought I was moving on but now after him also saying he thinks I'm fine etc, I feel I should just keep quiet and deal with it privately but its getting worse and ruining my life. I do feel afraid to mention it tbh and may cancel my appointment when it comes up.
