I have OCD. This is basically accurate in that it's an anxiety disorder that affects your ability to judge whether a worst case scenario is likely or not, but the thoughts are more like "What if I drive across the median and kill a family of 5 in a minivan" or "What if I pull my genitals out in this meeting and try to fuck my boss". The compulsions are usually not as logically coherent as needing to check if the stove is on or the house will burn down (though there are people who experience ocd like this). Usually my compulsions happen as a way to try and stop thinking those thoughts, like pulling over and playing internet chess for half an hour. The problem is that the compulsions steal a lot of time and don't typically address the underlying obsessive thought.
