Mole Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I've noticed that I get OCD more when my concentration is bad - when my mind wandersIf I can remember switching off the fire and the cooker and locking the door, as I walk down the stairs, then the OCD will stop.

Mole Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 OCD is certainly seriousI remember when I was 21, I was working for a lift company in Bournemouth - I had travelled to Dorchester to sevice a Goods lift in a shop.During the Service I was on the top floor and sent the lift car away and then with a special Key opened the landing door - the lift car stopped between floors - so I could maintain the door opening gear.Whilst doing this I dropped a spanner down the lift shaft - now althought i'd swtched the lift off and it was impossible for even an adult to climb into the shaft, while i went to the ground floor to retrieve the spanner - i'd left the landing door open.When I got home it worried me - and it wouldn't stop worrying me !The following week I was off work with Bronchitis, but I couldn't rest - I leapt on my Motorbike and went to Dorchester -I got to the shop and searched the lift shaft - just in case.I've been fighting OCD for over 20 years now - I feel i'm a Soldier at War with my own mind - I will use anything I have to, to win - including illicit Drugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollydaydream Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 my ocd sometimes means im in auto pilot doing everything in exactly the same way so i dont think im using concentration too much at the time, apart from counting in my head, which i feel i also do automatically, can be very dangerous as ill be unaware of surroundingsocd sucks :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
