I know everyone has them but us OCD suffers just can't seem to shift them. I have checking OCD so I'll do something like tighten something up at work and then the thought goes through you head did I do it. I can resist the re-checking as hard as it is but the ruminations in my head just go on and on. The more they go round my head tormenting me the less the memory of doing the job becomes and the more doubt I have. Does anyone have any techniques or advice they can share on how they deal with there thoughts. I try to move on and spend quality time with my kids but the thoughts go on and on. I've had these kind of worries for years causing countless hours/days/weeks of endless worry only for them to be for nothing. So I'm sure I'm doing something wrong regarding the worries in my head as they don't get any easier. Do I challenge the thoughts, resist the thoughts or be brutal and tell myself I'm sure I did it if i didn't ow well.
