I don't know which of this is really OCD, or just my personality, but:
So, as long as I can remember, whenever I would step on a crack, doorway, some kind of unique section of the ground either by texture or by vision(even peripheral, like I step in a spot next to the only rock in the side walk), I NEED to go back and step on it with my same foot over and over again until I feel better. Sometimes it takes one step, sometimes twenty, sometimes it depends on how hard I step. Some times I try not to go back and step again, but my brain tells me I have to or else, and I start thinking "how I will never get to step there again". I also get a weird feeling in my foot until I step there.
I also do this with touch, like my hands and arms. If my hand touches something, I sometimes have to keep touching whatever it was with my hand in the same spot I touched it first. Like when I switch a switch on or off, I have to keep touching the switch.
I also HATE having my belongings have any sort of damage or something like that on them. I must have them clean and perfect, if not I start freaking out.
I also get very emotional when I lose something, irrespective to it's value(can be a penny, and eraser, etc...), and I will also start to freak out. This has been calming over the years though.
I HATE having a small tear in my papers' ate school, and whenever I accidently mess up on a letter(ex: make the horizontal line too long too long like in an 'e'). Whenever I write I like to have it perfect.
I also obsess with things whenever I get an interest in things, like think about it a lot and such(I do not know why).
There is way more too.
I have been wanting to ask my doctor about it, but I have not had a checkup in a while.
Is this OCD? I would like to control it, or get rid of it forever because I don't like it. It bothers me a lot.
