Hiya,

We are not able to give you a diagnosis over the internet, primarily because we are not medical experts, but based off my own knowledge of OCD I would answer maybe, what you describe very much sounds like it might be OCD compulsions, but to be diagnosed with OCD it would also need obsessive thoughts/fears and anxiety/upset leading to those compulsions described.

We always recommend a formal assessment and diagnosis from a trained health professional, your GP should be able to make a referral through the NHS.

The good news is that OCD can be treated, and controlled through to complete recovery. The treatment we recommend is a talking therapy called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

I hope this information helps you.

Kind regards,

Ashley
