Did I lock the car?
Did I lock the front door?
Is the gate closed?
Are the candles blown out?

My car is fine…
1-2-3-4-5
The front door is locked…
1-2-3-4-5

Calm down, everything is okay
Nothing will happen, don’t worry so much
Breathe in easy; breathe out calm
Easy, Calm; Easy, Calm

I hate these rituals
I hate checking constantly
I don’t want to be anal
I don’t want to be paranoid

I know I can fight this
It’s my mind and nobody else’s
The rituals will stop
I know they will
I have OCD (Obessive Compulsive Disorder). It can be really stressful doing certain rituals and counting constantly. I'm trying to overcome but it can be hard to do. I'm not giving up though; I know one day my OCD and the rituals will go away.

Those rituals will stop. If you fight, to get them to stop, they will. Whenever you think of something in the ritual, then push it away, think of something else... It´s not easy.. OCD is never easy
