I have obsessive compulsive disorder, and often get fired for checking things many times. what kind of job do you think is suitable for me? If you have obsessive compulsive disorder what your symptoms? what kind of job you have?
I have many different symptoms. I tends to 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.

i have ocd too… ive worked at a job for a longggg time and you can too…. just say fuck u to the ocd!
I’m a technical writer and I get to pick apart and fix documents all day long. And of course, I have to check, double check, and triple check. It’s a great feeling. Sometimes my boss gets mad at me for my other little OCD behaviors, and I remind him that my OCD is the reason I’m so good at my job!
You could also get a job cleaning, or doing some monotonous repetetive task at a factory. Or get a job in an environment so fast-paced you don’t have time to obsess.
Retail worked very well for me, especially since I worked at a fairly low volume store. I could organize and reorganize merchandise to my heart’s content. I also did well as a direct care worker in a home for people with disabilities.
Good luck!
