My extreme "accident anxiety" drives me nuts

24% Normal
2 Comments

I moved into my own apartment about seven months ago. In the beginning I was extremely anxious about leaving because something might catch fire and burn the house down. I know it won't happen and if it does happen all of my stuff is insured. But whenever I leave the house I make sure to unplug everything, check if all the lights are off, move everything electric away from everything flameable and check for all of this at least 2 times before I can leave the house.
Is this normal behavior?

    This sounds like OCD to me. You might want to talk to a therapist about it.

    These sound like obsessive/compulsive symptoms. Speak to a psychiatrist and hopefully you'll find a way to control these impulses. Best of luck!
