Does the rubber band trick work? (OCD)?

For the longest time I've always had which… Well I believe is OCD mixed with being a Perfectionist.

I can never stand by my choices and always have a long debate on which one I should pick. I always weigh the choices on which one I should do but---again it's always a long wiegh in. I even begin to doubt the choices I made and begin to believe I picked something else. This causes me to take pictures with my iphone (if I'm able too) on the choice I made.than if I begin to think I picked something else I look at the picture and think "ahh ok I made that choice than."

Now being a perfectionist is something that always annoyed me. I always like doing things in one shot and perfect at the sametime. If I don't do it in one shot or perfect I always restart (if I'm able too) than my choices OCD kicks in saying "Oh you didn't do it one shot you're a failure. It's either do it better than perfect or stop doing it."

And… Yeah it gets very annoying for me and others. My friend says I should try using a rubber band and whenever I start thinking my choice or being perfect on things… I just snap it on my wrist.

I have what most psychiatrist don't which is experience. If you really want to conquer ocd just face your fears, do what your ocd makes you afraid to do and just do it till you get over it. You will get better with passivity!
