ocd

i think that i may have ocd and need your help to determine if i actually do have it or not . i do tons of rituals like i do everything in fours or in fives and can't do anything with out panic or anxiety . i pray continously and when i go to the bathroom i have to touch the bathroom door knob and the toliet and touch the trash can lid till i feel content enough to leave . i blow off my seat before i sit and do this wierd  shake thing then if it doesn't feel right i do i again .i can't move anything and have to keep things in a surrent order. i have so much anxiety i cry . my quetion is do i have ocd?

Yes, I think you do.  Get treatment, these should all be workable symptoms.  Don't live with them.  the ocfoundation.org site has a list of therapists around the country.
