Whenever I get a sweepstakes in the mail where they have a pre-selected winning number, I’m compelled to send it in . I’m afraid if I don’t send it in. I’ll obsess that my number would have been the winner. Has anyone here ever misplaced , or failed to send in their pre-selected sweepstakes number before the deadline ,and then obsessed that they might have had the winning number? How do you get over this obsession if I ever fail to send in my entry by mistake? PS I don’t ever buy any of the magazines.

Hi, This might not get you ‘over’ it, but I might turn off the TV for a while. — Fly — "The chief reason for failure of behavior therapy is not carrying out exposure treatment with sufficient thoroughness." – Anxiety and Its Treatment ~ Greist, Jefferson, Marks

seriously, a way to get over this is to try BT. You DON’T send it in. however, you expose yourself (over and over again) to the thought of missing the #’s, imagine that missed cruise, house, boat. Envision large headlines J786 MISSED LOTTERY WINNER – the idea being you’ll habituate yourself to the idea of having picked a possible winner. If you don’t learn to deal with this uncertainty, and live with it, it will haunt you. As OCD goes, my prediction is if you don’t treat this one quickly, it will quickly spread to supermarkets, 7-elevens, and Circle K’s. — Fly — "The chief reason for failure of behavior therapy is not carrying out exposure treatment with sufficient thoroughness." – Anxiety and Its Treatment ~ Greist, Jefferson, Marks
