Never Think, Never Forget

Eyes open.

Hands washed?

They are.

Clothes cleaned?

They are.

Is the lock locked?

Definetly, I check three times.

Stove off?

Definetly, I checked seven times.

Ready for the day ahead of me?

Definetly not.

Just please make this go away.

<p>I have struggled with OCD almost my entire life, and I just wanted to show people the <em>actual</em> things people with OCD think about. These are the kind of thoughts that run in my head within a second.</p>
