Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common, chronic and long-lasting disorder in which a person has uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions) that he or she feels the urge to repeat over and over.
Compulsions are repetitive behaviors that a person with OCD feels the urge to do in response to an obsessive thought. Common compulsions include:
Excessive cleaning and/or handwashing
Ordering and arranging things in a particular, precise way
Repeatedly checking on things, such as repeatedly checking to see if the door is locked or that the oven is off
Compulsive counting This whole system of fretting about endless labs is perfect for anybody with obcessive compulsive disorder.
I know it's something I fight myself. (Yes, I check to make sure the front door is locked)
It doesn't matter how good labs are…there's always SOME LABs that are not perfect.
Let's take 95 year-old patients, and show you their labs that are completely screwed up…yet, magically, they're still alive.
If I could just learn one thing:
Do the best you can, and then let …it…go…
Let go of endlessly trying to control the outcome.
The stress and anxiety isn't worth it.
