Hi tpmunopo

This sounds like OCD - obsessive compulsive disorder and may be related to stress and anxiety - as you describe it as an urge (rather than for example a twitch without your conscious thought) then it does sound like an OCD type condition with an emotional cause maybe - this is very common. Why don't you go to the doctors as you should find that they can help with this with therapies, some medications e.g. anti-depressants can be used for this or by taking up something like meditation or listening to a relaxation CD.

Let us know how you get on.
