I had to go back to the house 2x because I felt I had not locked the door...

Yes. I have. When I played the violin, I would automatically put my bow away but I would still think, " Did I put my bow away?" I like to keep my bedroom door closed. And I close it but sometimes as I run for the bus , I think, "Did I close my bedroom door?"

I have felt the same way before when I leave. Trying to remember if I locked the door myself and I also make sure I have my key on me before I leave. I go back and check myself. So I understand how you feel.

No. I think when I need to go out, I check well before leaving, and whenever I am out, I do not think much about what is happening back at home. I think this sort of act reflects that you are in some sort of disturbed mind. Try concentrating on one job at a time. It helps eliminating small overlooks.

hey jemina these kind situation happen when your mind is not in satable , i am not saying that your have problem in your mind , but just that you have some mental blaockage for little time... it happens when you are in hurry or you want to do all the things (many things at same time ) or your possesive to someting .. or you dont want to embarress or similar kind of situation for getting late ... it very normal to human being and in these situation one should have calm down , check all the things and start planning the things , if you wann go out side so give 10 to 15 minutes to plan out , what yiu have to do befor leaving the hous , what time you leave, etc. dont worry about this, as it happens most of people as we are living in running world .. every one has to go soemwher and want reach on time ...

I am sometimes like you. I have a car and even if I had pressed the remote control I always feel like I haven't because there are times when I found that I did not lock my car. It's the same with doors. Sometimes I feel like I have not locked the door altho I never left the house without locking the door. It's part of the habit of fearing the worst.

I feel pitty to those who do like this but they should be aware themselves while leaving the home they has to check each and everything in home once or thrice so that they can feel happy rest of time

The biggest one I have if you call it paranoia is going back to check that I have locked the car. Not once have I not locked it up to date but if I don't go back and check I almost have an anxiety attack and this is not worth it! There have been a few times when I thought I did not put the remote door to the garage down and even though may be running late to work, I go around the block "just to make sure" and guess what......it is down! Geez then I have more chance of having an accident through running late than these things just not happening!

Oh yes, I have done this numerous times. I constantly forget whether I locked the door or not when leaving the house and have come back several times to double check. I am not paranoid about anything else but locking the door is a problem for me of remembering. My roommate has this problem with the iron and whether he unplugged it or not. I always feel it is better to be safe than sorry so I will double check. Very good topic. :-)

it did happened to me lately but only once ..i have reached the second block which i remmember that door in my veranda was not lock..i ask my daughter on this to confirm and they doubted about it..so that i had to let the taxi go back to our house(and that of course including us)to be sure..and lo! it was not lock..and i guess its not a paranoid thing..its a case of negligence on our part..

This happens to mee too sometimes, Sometimes it is just the TV, i go to sleep and start to think i wonder if i turned of the TV and have to go and check and see ah it is closed...and when i carry my money in my pocket, every hour or so i check if i still have it in my pocket. I have no idea why, but it doesn't bother me at all. Its safe to check that everything is ok.

Yes, Ive done the same. I am the last to leave our house. so before leaving I have to check on the water, the lights, the stove and all appliances. If really I am not satisfied that Ive checked everything, I really have to go back to be sure. Its not only you and me, there are more.

I never had this kind of paranoia. Sometimes I need to think hard if I locked the door or not, but most of the times I know if I did. The only thing I might forget is: did I take my key when I closed the door. I really have to look really good (large handbag) before I find my key.

I guess I have ever done this several times when my mind was wandering somewhere and I didn’t put my focus on the keys. When I had gone few meters away, suddenly I became paranoid myself, and asked myself whether I had locked the door or not and then went back to check it. LOL. A restless mind during the way back until I found it was already locked.

oh yes a few years back I was taking some college courses' and took the bus to the junior college. all the while I was just sure I had not checked the gas stove to be sure all the burners were off. so when I got to college I had several minutes so I phoned home and my son laughed yes all the burners are safely off so you must have checked them before you left. I do do such stuff even today lol lol lol

That happens to me a lot as well. But not really with the house doors but mostly with the flat iron. Since I sometimes iron clothes before I leave the house, I would doubt that I unplugged the iron after I finish. I would think that even when I already left the house. But I don't go back to the house, because I pretty much am sure that I did. hehe.
