What does this mean? Help please.?!


Question: I have been acting very strange for a couple of years. Every time I leave the house, I am afraid and always checking the stove to see if everything is off, I check all the doors and windows if they are locked. I unplug everything. Of course this is pretty normal, but after I have done all of this I go back to check if everything I did is right. I also check the bathrooms to see if any water is running. I do this occasionally like a couple of times a day.

I also am very scared that I will lose one of my loved ones. I lost my mother and now I am very afraid that I will loose somebody else. Everytime I leave for 2 or 3 days I always make sure to hug and kiss them before I sleep. I pray every night for everything to be ok. This might sound pretty normal but I dont know..Is it?

Is this a sign of something?
Last time I checked, there is nothing wrong with me.

checking everything once is normal, but unplugging and checking again..isnt that normal.
you could have paranoia...it sounds like it from what youre telling me.
just breathe, relax...tell yourself that just because something can happen doesnt mean it will happen. trust yourself, and start only checking your house once!
again, it could also be OCD. do you do any other "weird" things like that?
if you still cant get over it go see a doctor who might help you get over this.

wierd but not like this

Sounds like OCD...but I would talk to your doc about how your feeling and he/she can suggest a psychologist for you to see and talk about your feelings, and if things are bad even medications. Best of luck.

You need to be evaluated by a mental health professional, but it sounds like obsessive-compulsive disorder (ocd) to me. Are you on any medications? It could be a side effect. It's not usually dangerous, but please get yourself checked out.

Sounds like OCD to me and maybe some generalized anxiety?

No that is not normal, could be OCD, there is help out there but you need to want it and go after it. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in this state ? That`s what doctors and medicines are for, to help you thru an illness. If you feel there is nothing wrong with you, then why are you asking for help.
