Is this a sign of ADD or something. Becuase I do this about so much stuff. Locking my car. Turning off the oven. Flushing the toilet. Whatever it is. But this happens to me multiple times a day. I dont have anxiety about it when it happens but I feel like I need to go double check whatever it is.
Everyone has this from time to time, and it can be made worse by a lot of causes, from hypoglycemia, fatigue, poor sleep, depression, and a lot more. But, the official diagnosis for ADHD generally comes down to doing this stuff much more often than the general population, to the point of being disruptive to your ability to live your life, while also ruling out all the other more common causes.
If it’s that much of a problem, look into getting a diagnosis, because it’ll tell you what’s going on and start you on the path to solving it no matter what’s the root cause.
Everyone does it sometimes, but people with ADHD do put a lot of stuff on autopilot to reduce mental load, which causes stuff like this to happen more.
