If you have obsessive compulsive disorder what kind of job you have?

I have obsessive compulsive disorder, and often get fired. what kind of job do you think is suitable for me? If you have obsessive compulsive disorder what kind of job you have?

My symptoms is that I keep on checking things over and over again. For example, I keep on checking the door lock over and over again to see if it locked properly, so that I get a right feeling.

You could be a stats person. You would be perfect because you would check to make sure they are up to date and right.

What about a security guard at night? You would check the buildings to see if they are locked and empty.

A proof-reader

Elections helper

Do not give up. What you may see as a weakness, in the right setting is a great strength. You should also consider going to a local community program office that helps place people with OCD. Or find an OCD support group.

Good Luck!

a work from home job like computers and things like that

First of all, you have a disability, and so that actually gives you legal protections and standing. You might want to investigate exactly what your rights are. B/c folks w/ OCD are so incredibly detail oriented, have you considered becoming a detective or an investigator of some kind? That or an "organoleptic evaluator", which is the long way of saying a food or wine critic. As most folks w/ OCD are extremely sensitive and have extremely developed critical senses, have you considered looking into becoming an editor, or an evaluator or a critic as I mentioned before? There are many, many jobs that would be perfect for you and that you would be the ideal candidate for. What about an event planner, one who makes sure every little detail is perfectly in place?

How about Law School? You have to be detailed, and many lawyers are excentric.

I should say that quite a few people in the medical profession have OCD.
Think about it, wouldn't a career as an Inspector, or any attention to detail profession for that matter, be ideal.
Of course you'll have to somewhat efficiently manage your OCD first.
Have you ever considered Psychotherapy? "Psycho" does not imply that you're crazy. In fact people diagnosed with OCD typically have more practical intelligence.
Thought control is not such an easy task (with OCD).
A Psychotherapist may help you focus your compulsiveness in a productive way.

I suffer from OCD but it's borderline and I have been on medication for years. No one can tell unless i tell them so I lead a normal life and have been working for the same company for years now. If you have never sought help do so. Start with your Dr. He'll advise you. Believe me OCD is very common but it can make your life a misery. If you need more info you can IM me.
