And I had the pleasure of first downvote. Please don't do this again.

I guess that's an upside. Next she'll be taking pictures of the stove to make sure it's off.

Better safe than sorry OP

that's a really good idea. but I would use it for the stove and the windows

It actually cheaper to leave big appliances plugged in, rather than plugging them in and unplugging them all the time... That's takes more energy, for you and the appliance.

I'm going to be a nerd here.. This reminds me a lot of Death The Kid from Soul Eater and that scene with the painting XD

There should be an app for that

I'm not worried enough apparently about leaving the stove on...several times over the last few weeks, I'll know for a fact (after double and triple checking) that o turned the stove off. But then later, it will be on. Either I'm having mental issues, or my house is haunted.

I also have OCD and kinda look up to Kid. *^*

This post reminded me to unplug my space heater before school... That would've been bad.

You really don't understand OCD, there generally is an underlying rational in this circumstance being afraid of an electrical fire I am assuming. However in OCD sufferers it is taken to the extreme. There is an obsession you cannot take your mind off it. Your mind plays through different scenarios relating to your OCD over and over again. As well the Compulsion in order to reassure yourself you constantly do reptitive tasks, as in this case making sure everything is unplugged. It really is a terrible thing to live with and I hope you find a way OP to cope with it.

Fun fact: OCD is a disorder that most sufferers actually recognize as irrational. It's called an "ego dystonic" disorder. Trying to "disprove" their concerns with logic usually isn't telling them anything they don't already know.

Thank you, Budgie. I get extremely irritated by all the people claiming to "be OCD" just because they're organized or like things clean. Having a type A personality is not the same as having OCD. I appreciate the clarity with which you described the disorder. Levvy, too.

#3, you are an insensitive prick. There I said it.

...dick

I'm not so sure...

I agree

Are there meds for OCD? That is fascinating. Everybody knows about concentration meds (Ritalin etc.) but that's simply putting your brain in overdrive, so to speak. OCD is a whole way of thinking! Can meds really change your thought process?

I saw a program about OCD where they sent them to rehab and made them do gross stuff... e.g. a person with a phobia of bacteria had to wipe their hands on a toilet seat and then wipe their body... GROSS!

I have a touch of OCD. I'm bp1. My husband has pretty severe OCD. A lot of the ssri meds at certain doses do wonders. He has had great luck with Luvox. My nephew is showing major improvements after just a few months of Prozac. The anxiety from OCD often leads to depression, so these meds work double duty. Both me and my husband are also on a low dose benzo at night to help with underlying anxiety. I also have an as needed one for major flare ups. There are actually new studies in how lithium is helping with major depressive disorder and some cases of more stubborn OCD when used as an add on in low doses. There are so many options out there. If the first doesn't work, there is no need to get discouraged.

I take pics of my door when I leave, just to make sure. I actually left it open when I rushed out for my first deployment. Thankfully my housesitter emailed me.

I take 5HTP, which naturally raises my serotonin, which is a great way to combat OCD. Some people say it's hooky, but it's been proven to work for me and with NONE of the side effects of the heavy duty pharmaceutical drugs. Can't hurt to try. Takes 4 weeks to really kick in, but that's no different from standard drugs.

Actually OP is going to install webcams on each outlet

Or OP is going to hire someone to monitor the empty outlets

With a good angle you can get all the outlets in most rooms in a single shot.

Perdix OP wrote " over 10 pictures" meaning at the very least more than 10 outlets and also by home OP could refer to a small apartment and/or a really small townhouse
