Mild OCD?

I’m worried incase I have mild obsessive disorder.. I have a slight obsession with things being clean, when I’m brushing my teeth I have to rinse everything I touch (toothbrush, then apply toothpaste, rinse brush, rinse tube, rinse lid of tube, put it on tube, rinse tube again). Then I have to make sure my toothbrush is facing away from everyone else’s. Also I have to have the tv volume on an even number and I’m always checking if doors are locked, and have bad thoughts about a burgular coming in and harming my family, then I have to pray for everyone in my family and (I know this sounds really weird) but after I say ‘amen’ I kiss towards the sky but if my kiss does’t sound right, I have to redo the ‘amen’ until it sounds ‘right’. I also need cupboards to be fully closed and I’m usually worried that if I leave my laptop on charge overnight, there’ll be a fire. I also am a little too thorough at washing up and all electric switches have to be turned off. One more thing I can think of; when I’m getting dressed I have to put my socks on last and if I put on one sock first, sometimes I feel as though it’s wrong and I have a bad feeling unless I take it off and put the other one on first.

Sorry if that was a little long Do you think I have mild OCD? or general OCD? Please answer if you can, I’m pretty worried.. X

You cannot be diagnosed online. However, since you are concerned about it, and those are unusual behaviors, I’d think about consulting a mental health specialist
