Checking things like the cooker is off four times once Ive used it. Thinking that everyone can see me, even through my curtains? Feeling like Im being video'd, Not being able to go out for fear people might see me, that migh just be anxiety??

> It sounds more like anxiety than paranoia or OCD. Although OCD probably has a strong anxiety component.
>I'll have to beg to differ. Thsi sounds like OCD, without a doubt. In the book, BRAINLOCK, Swartsz (spelling?) mentions something about a women with OCD holding a jug in front of hear and still feeling it might be on.
OCD it is, and strong OCD medicine you need (ie Anafranil high dose for 12+ weeks)
