Most likely. See a doctor, or psychiatrist. There are medication and therapy options.

I think most people have some mild case of OCD. I do, and I just live with it.

If you feel there's this overwhemling feeling that if you don't do something a certain way, something bad will happen, then you should talk to a doctor -- but otherwise it's pretty harmless.

you have so much OCD it's pouring out yo head. watch obsessed on A&E

you should only go see a doctor if it is interfering with being able to have a normal life. i also have to write words over and over again until i feel like its good enough. its stupid and pointless but everybody has a little ocd in them.

You should search the Yale brown test. That is how OCD is diagnosed. I have severe OCD, on 200mg zoloft, buspar, and go to thearapy. It sounds like you have a mild case. I disagree with the aboe poster who said everyone has OCD. OCD is a disorder, it wouldn't be called a disorder if it was a normal behavior. Everyone has their own little obsessions but that's not OCD.

There are tones of OCD-ish things we do, if you're curious or worried the best thing is to see a doctor.
