Help ocd

Hi I'm alsways cheking things are turned off I do like 5 times but I still worry do I have ocd

[hehe]

I don't know if you have OCD; only a medical doctor or psychologist can diagnose that. Checking five times to see if something is turned off is certainly a sign of OCD, but it doesn't mean you have it; it could also just be a little paranoia. As long as that's the worst of what you're doing, it's doubtful that it will affect what you do or your wellbeing, so I don't think you need to have it examined or anything like that.

We can't answer that. However a lot of people always check things a few times. Plus there are different cases of OCD, severe ones and just simple OCD. My housemate use to have severe OCD and now its mostly gone and it wasn't even noticable until he had told me. So stop worrying about categorizing!
