I'm a fourteen year old female.
Ever since I was eight, I've noticed these little patterns I have. Before I throw a backhand spring at cheerleading practice I have to count to eight three times.
Sometimes I wish for somethings, such as longer hair, and before I completed my wish I have to touch every end of my hair. (same if I wished for new clothes, I'd have to touch all my clothes atleast once.)
I feel as if I don't touch all of them, my wish won't come true.
Everything has to be in ABC order and all my sentenced have to have a period at the end, even if they're questions.
Is there something wrong with me?
What should I do?

At least you don't have occd where everything has to be clean and no dust took a long time to get over this also

I think everyone is OC in certain ways though, for instance, i have to check the door to see if its locked every single night, even if my mom says its locked. one night i tried to go to sleep but i just layed in bed for half an hour thinking about if there was a burglary. finally i just went downstairs and checked, and yes of course it was locked, but as soon as i got back in my bed i fell asleep.

its when you have to do things a certain way, or you`ll feel anxious.
talk to your parents bout it... and see if ou can get help for it.
