Yes.
One definition of OCD: "an urgent need to engage in certain rituals."
Some common rituals of OCD: "need to repeatedly check things, touch things (especially in a particular sequence), or count things"
Difference: "Healthy people also have rituals, such as checking to see if the stove is off several times before leaving the house. The difference is that people with OCD perform their rituals even though doing so interferes with daily life and they find the repetition distressing"
So. I'm guessing that these rituals DO distress you, and do interfere with your life, because you're on here asking this question.
Talk to your family doctor, and they can refer you to a therapist. I'm not saying you need medication--just talk to someone to see what you should do, because it could easily get worse.
sounds like you do. i do the same stuff sometiems without relizing it. it doesnt really bother me though because it feels good
Yep! Sounds like it to me. I've been told that I had mid to borderline major OCD. It takes all different shapes though. I have to have things facing a certain way too, but you're not really that bad. I'm what they call a "checker" which is worse. I'll check the stove, the burners, the coffee maker, the doors, then I'll leave the house & go right back in and start all over again. Do you have any idea how late this can make you for work? I used to switch lights off & on three times. No worries. If you want to, just do some reading about it & be aware of when you do it more or less frequently. It will help you figure out what triggers certain things.
Yeah, it sounds like you do. Don't worry, though, a ton of people I know have it, including me :-) . If it gets in the way of your life and well-being, however, you should talk to someone or see a doctor.
The last one made me think yes, but the other two are quite ok. You're just really neat and you have your "rituals" of sorts, but not OCDish.
1) -That's just neatness-probably got stuck in your head in an AT&T commercial....
2)Neatness
3)Ritual
4) Alot of people do that.
5)Kind of OCDish. Only OCDish if you really have to...like you feel that you can't go on without it.
yes, you do.
definitely. for more info refer to a

Yes, sounds just like it.
