I have obsessive compulsive disorder. What are the job that suitable for me?

Question

I only want the job that I get hire by the boss.

Let me briefly describe my symptom for you. I live in Canada. My obsessive compulsive disorder symptom is that I keep on checking the objects so many times and didn't get any work done. For example, I wasted about 1-2 hour daily on checking the floor to see if I dropped anything or not. When I stand up I keep on checking my chair to see if I dropped anything. There is still so much more that I don't want to say. I think this is why I can't even keep a job. Anyone got any idea on the job that suitable for me?

Thanks John g. Do you have more answers?

Answer 2

have you tried working at an animal shelter or dog kennel. Compulsive checking is key for the animals, whether it is checking the locks, the water dishes, grooming them (really clean) or even in some instances, making sure they take their medicine and digest it. most are owner owned and have very little staffing. another great job would be an overnight security guard as long as you had to be stationed in one particular area. possibly even a toll booth operator always making sure you have and give the proper change is DEFINETLY a good thing.

I think your first thought should be to get some help with your OCD. If you are able to control it better then you can choose a job that you love--which would be the best choice.
If you can't control your symptoms then you will not be able to keep a job--because what you get OC over might not be what the job requires. Losing a number of jobs makes it even harder to get a job.
Check with your Dr about a referral to a specialist who will be able to treat the OCD.
