OCD
Leave the house
You are running a bit late. Tap "Leave the house" to head out of the door — and do what the doubts tell you to.
It's a short simulation with moving text. You can stop at any time.

OCD
What did that feel like?
You knew the door was locked. It still did not feel locked.
OCD is not about being tidy. It is intrusive, upsetting thoughts (obsessions) and the things people feel they have to do to make the fear go away (compulsions).
Checking brings relief for a moment — then the doubt comes back, often stronger.
Around 1 in 100 people in England are living with OCD in any given week.
