| Worried that I might have OCD
Everytime I need to go somewhere I stare at my electric stove for at least 40 seconds to make sure it's not on.. Today, I decided to go for a short walk and therefore I didn't stare for that long, cause I thought that maybe it won't catch fire in 30 minutes. Then when I had walked for 10 minutes I started worrying about it... and I wasn't even sure whether I checked it. I'm still not 100% sure, cause I don't quite remember it (probably cause there wasn't as much anxiety involved). My walk lasted for 45 minutes, cause I wanted to visit my dad's house. Before leaving I removed a paper tissue that I left on the stove cause I had to remove coffee stains and there's not much room in my kitchen. Then, I started worrying about it.. what if I had left it there, and accidentally turned the stove on? Then I imagined how all my precious items would have burned, like my cellphone and my laptop.
Does this sound like OCD? Am i worrying for nothing?
