I've never been diagnosed OCD, but I'm sure I have a mild form of it at the very least, I worry that it drives my fiancee and kids nuts.

I'm always closing and locking doors behind me, going back and rechecking things I think I forgot to do, etc. Everything has a place and has to be in its place, stuff like that. This morning I had to drive back home thinking I forgot to close the garage door. It was closed. I swear I drive myself nuts too. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, it just seems a little quirky.

On your other subject, psychologists, I went to a few before I found one that I felt was interested in helping me. After three sessions he asked what really made me feel good. When I told him I loved AA meetings, he told me to keep going to them, and quit wasting my money and his time. That was the last time I saw a shrink. I'm not suggesting you use AA meetings for therapy, but you might want to try a different doctor, don't settle for the first one you see.
