hi, im autumn and i think i might have ocd. i think i might have it because every time I leave or enter a room i touch the door handle a certain way or else i feel weird like i cant not do it and i do things in threes and sometimes i believe i have to do something before a certain time or else something bad will happen. i also have to always use matching cutlery and if I for example hit my right hand off something i have to hit my left off it too because it feels so uneven and i feel so uncomfortable until they feel the same. these are only a few of the things i do... daily. let me know if you do any of these things or something similar or if i know anything about ocd. thanks, autumn.

I'm not a therapist and can't diagnose you, but these do sound like compulsive behaviors. If they're taking up enough time/headspace that it's causing problems for you, you might want to look for a therapist who works with OCD. If you do get a diagnosis, someone who practices Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is probably your best option.
