I don't have complete control over my brain

When I walk I imagine there is a rope tied around my ankle with a ball on the end. I can feel it and need to swing the ball around. It's really annoying because I can't get rid of it no matter how hard I try.
Also, I have to get a certain amount of steps in each block of cement on the sidewalk.
Another thing I do is scrape the corners of my mouth with my thumb nail and I have to do it the same number of times on both sides so it's equal.
Pretty much anytime I do something that doesn't feel equal I need to make equal. If I stepped on a smooth surface with one foot I will have to do it to the other foot too.
There's also this thing where whenever I'm in the shower, every time I get my face wet I have to open the shower curtain and look around my bathroom because a demon will get me if I don't.
These are just a few of the many things that happen in my brain that I can't control.

I have always been like this so I never thought anything of it, I actually can't imagine not being like this. I'm not sure if other people are like this though and I want to know if it is normal. It's really frustrating not being able to control my thoughts. I waste so much time that I could spend doing other things on this.

    "When I walk I imagine there is a rope tied around my ankle with a ball on the end." There was a teacher in high school who began to walk like this. Several weeks later, she disappeared. Turns out she had an inoperable brain tumor and died shortly thereafter. True story. Just saying.

    "What if this is as good as it gets?" From the film, As Good as it Gets.

    Although this advice is thoroughly overused here, seek professional help.
