Checking, just to make sure of?

[baylanParticipant]

Can anyone help? It’s so strange that the more I check, just to make sure, the stronger the urge to check gets, and I think ‘just once more time, just to make sure.’.. It is ridiculous but part of my ocd. I’m scared everyone will think I’m crazy but I’m not, OCD makes me this way. I don’t want anything dangerous to happen but honestly, checking everything just too much, and no alternative to checking is obvious to me. What do I need to do to stop this and be ‘happy’.

I’m trying to help myself and just ask here for any suggestions.
