Is this a sign of OCD?

Every cup I drink out I have to clean first incase of germs or whatever and same goes for knifes,forks,spoons.

I like things to line up straight.

I count things like I start tapping on the desk or something and then I will have a bad thought and say to myself that if I dont do the tapping another certain amount or times then something terrible will happen to me or someone I care about.

I have a fear or the number 3 and 13…if I have something 3 times then I have to get rid of one or something. I get scared that if I do something that ends with number 3 or 13 something bad will happen. I feel nervous even writing that number

if im looking at the clock/mobile or watch and the time is something ending with 3 or 13 if I blink when it is on that number I have a horrible feeling theres going to be something seriously wrong with me.

I think people are always talking about me.

Is there something wrong with me??

Answer #1

Many people have varying degrees of obsessions and compulsions. If your actions are affecting your everyday life, it’s worth talking to a professional about it. In extreme cases, medication can be given. Yours doesn’t sound extreme, and it may pass…

Answer #2

You do have some signs of OCD, but the most crucial part of diagnosing a disorder is that is has to be either distressing or harmful or interfering with your life… If it is bothering you then you should talk to someone about it. If not, then it doesnt matter what everyone else says and so what if you’re a little different…
