I don't know if I have OCD but I know a lot of the stuff I do is not normal, like at night, if the blankets on my bed have too many wrinkles, or if my pajama pants are too twisted I can't sleep, my pants, underwear, and shirt, have to be straight while trying to sleep or else I get very angry and before I get into bed, I have to push the door in, even though it's already closed and I know it's already closed, maybe it's just a habit? I don't know. Also everything in my room has it place, if something was moved, I notice and I have to put it back where it belongs. When I was younger I would throw a tantrum whenever someone would move something in my room. Is this OCD?

well if you cannot sleep and it is interfering in  your daily life then i think you need to consult a psychiatrist or you can take help from self help books like

No I haven't because everyone tells me I'm exaggerating and to only seek help if it's interfering with my life, but it is, I'm up all night trying to get everything perfect so I can sleep

I cannot diagnose you on the forum but it certainly sounds like OCD.  Have you ever sought the help of a professional?
