Is this ocd?

If heard a few things about ocd, but something that ive noticed myself doing is telling myself that if i dont do something a certain way, something bad will happen. For example, id tell myself that i have to close and open a door 3 times, turn the knob twice, and walk away within 5 seconds or else something bad would happen. Is this common?

Have no idea about ocd yet but maybe what I can assure you is that nothing bad will happen to you.

It certainly could be a symptom of OCD, yes. You should consult a doctor/therapist about this, especially if it is distressing to you.
