constantly repeating day to day activities with out a logical explanation could mean you have OCD!. doing things such as constantly counting checking and rechecking door locks, having to wash over and over thinking your not quite clean when after washing yourself thoroughly once, you are clean!. all of these acts don't normally need to be repeated and a person suffering OCD will know his or her acts are unreasonable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
OCD has many different behaviors!. The most common is hypervigilance over cleanliness, orderliness, and checking!.
It is an endless loop that runs in your head over and over!.
You know it is OCD but you feel compelled to do the rituals a certain way or a certain number of times!.
Therapists will put you on medication and tell you to stop the rituals and get used to the uncomfortable feelings of not doing the rituals!. This builds pressure that is only relieved by doing the rituals!. Sometimes sensitive OCD people will expose themselves to shocking imagery of violence and other things that are painful to interrupt the endless loop of compulsions and obsessions!. They feel negative feelings as a result!. These distract attention to negative rumination!.
This rumination becomes part of the endless loop because the problem is the endless loop thinking and feeling!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Doesn't sound like you have OCD, if you had it it would be a compulsion, I shave with my left hand instead of my right, and do sudoku's with my left, it is a preference!. Everybody checks their door is locked, it is when you are on the bus and get of to go back to check when you know that the door is locked anyway which would be OCD!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you check the link, we all have a little bit of ocd!. If it's not severe that it interfere with your life (like washing the hands so often the skin become allergic, etc), than it's ok!.
And some of the symptoms, I don't even think it's an illness, like collecting, people like to keep a collection of staff they like and I don't see anything wrong with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
