I've had OCD for years so I know what a nightmare it can be to cope with but without knowing more detail about this compulsions of yours, it's a little difficult to say whether or not you have it.

Washing hands is the most common of all OCD tpe behaviours. Some people have literally scrubbed their hands raw. A symptom of OCD is never really feeling like your hands are clean and you have to wash them time and time again.

It is possible you suffer from a form of OCD but I would recommend you speak to your doctor for confirmation. It may be that they feel you should seek treatment for it, in which case you may be offered a form of therapy (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is the most common for OCD) or anti-depressents which should help suppress your anxiety.

Whatever you do, please don't worry because it's an extremely common condition and one that you CAN control with the right treatment.

I doubdt its OCD. People do those kind of things everyday. unless i takes up an hour or more of your day then doctors probly will not diagnose you with Ocd. You ask a doctor about it tho if it will make you feel better.

This is like a regular thing with people. It happens to me often...esp wen I jus didn't put it bac and I don't like how it looks. Anyway you probably have a attention span problem but not OCD. I kinda had OCD wen I was small and well I got over it. It's like wen u count stuff and wen u do things repeatedly..like touch somethign and count the times you do it.

I'm pretty sure that if thats all thats happened, your fine.I'e done that plenty of times where I HAD to fix someting just because it was bugging me and didn't look right. If these feelings related to OCD keep occuring, I would deffinatly suggest going to someone about it. Like a doctor or a parent. Even your school nurse!

Hope I helped,
Anneke
