Is it weird to have certain obsessions with things?!
Question: ive been tested for ocd & stuff before but never really got around to getting results. its weird it seems that if i have everything that is important to me (chapstick, cellphone, water bottle, ect) i dont have distrubing thoughts & i feel more confident. and also i have rituals and sometimes have to wash my hands up to10 times.

My son is a typical teen he too has to have his chap stick and phone or he won't go anywhere. It's normal to feel more confident when you feel prepared and in familiar territory.
Having rituals does not mean you have OCD. Rituals that don't interfere with normal living usually aren't considered OCD. as far as washing you hands again it depends on why. In fact some rituals are healthy. When I get ready to go to bed I check the doors, get my drink, make sure my phone is in the bedroom, wash my face, and set up my pillows.I feel better knowing everything is where I need it. No harm no foul.
Unless it is making you late for stuff, causing physical pain, I don't think you need medication for it. I do think if it is concerning to you go see a therapist.
washing hand 10 times ?
that's ocd i guess.
but as long as it doesn't bother your daily routine life, no problem.
see it as your unique eccentric trait.
It only needs to be dealt with if it interferes with your enjoyment of life.
washing your hands ten time is ocd and sometime it leads to of obsessions. You may want to see a counselor.
