Default Re: does this mean im crazy

If it's just these things it seems like really mild OCD behavior but you should at a minimum be mindful of this because OCD really overtakes some peoples lives. There are people who have complex rituals (like turning around to the right 3 times in the shower, standing on their left foot for 4 seconds then touch the water temp control with their index finger, .... etc etc and if they do any aspect of it wrong they need to start over and can't leave the house until they get it all correct. They are so nervous if they don't do all of this they can't bear it.

So your not even close to 'crazy' but at a minimum monitor this stuff because if it starts to escalate and you don't catch it (there is medication and/or talk therapy to treat it) things could get a lot worse.

Right now it depends on the extent it bothers you and interferes with your life. If it's no biggie, then it's no biggie.
