Working with OCD in the motor trade

[Ryork1]

I work in the motor trade and have checking OCD. I manage to get through the day without checking I've tightened/torqued bolts up multiple times. But minutes after doing certain bolts I'm already worrying I've not done it right which causes terrible worry/ruminating for days after. Has anybody else had a similar experience which could give me any tips to cope or overcome this.

Hi Ryork1 & welcome!

There have been a number of sufferers on here over the years with the same problem. I think one in particular was @bruces, but I have not heard from him in while.

Take a look at this, & perhaps use the search facility if you don't get many replies. https://www.ocdforums.org/index.php?/topic/80289-ocd-in-my-job-as-a-mechanic/&tab=comments#comment-686166

 

All the best.
