Default What the job that is suitable for people with obsessive compulsive disorder? - 12-15-2008, 04:14 PM

I have obsessive compulsive disorder, and often get fired. My symptoms is that I keep on checking things over and over again. For example, I keep on checking the door lock and light switch over and over again to see if it locked properly, so that I get a right feeling that it closed properly.If you have obsessive compulsive disorder what kind of job you have?There is many more different kinds of checking rituals that I do which I am too ashamed to say.

Security Guard might be something for you, it requires checking and rechecking locks, etc. BTW, they have medicine for that now too so you can have less worries!

My suggestion would be postoffice or anything that has to do with checking the details. My uncle has OCD even though he won't admit it and he works in a lab. Since everything has to be checked and double checked it works for him. I used to work Walgreens Pharmacy dept and there is alot of double and triple checking of perscriptions to make sure you get the right pills the right amount to the right person.

they fire you for double checking? They should've appreciated you more.Maybe accounting, quality assurance. Try a shipping depatment, things need to be correct when they are sent out to customers.During the interview, tell your new boss about the disorder, he'll put you someplace where you are appreciated.
