Default is it ocd?

I know everyone's asking here as well but I'm not entirely sure.
Well anway, I have this habit, when I'm washing the dishes, of scrubbing and scrubbing untill it feels "right" and that it is "clean enough" and that I have enirely covered the object in soap. Also, I never touch the toilet or the tap on the sink after I have showered in case I get dirty hands again from touching them and when washing my hands, I wash twice washing very thouroughly each time, making sure I've rubbed soap in every part of my hand; if I don't rub the soap in each hand correctly, then it feels wrong and I just have to go over it again. Oh and I have this horrible habit of picking my skin, if I don't, I feel like I'm about to go insane!

I totally understand everything you just said!! I know what you mean about the dishes being cleaned properly, and your hands. If there's even 1 tiny spot without soap, than that tiny spot isn't clean and it makes the whole thing dirty.

I understand what you mean. I have the same problem when it comes to washing dishes and washing my hands.
