Possible: Ocd is an anxiety disorder characterized by unreasonable thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Common obsessions include fears pf contamination, losing control, harm to self or others, perfectionism, unwanted sexual thoughts, and religious correctness. Common compulsions include washing and cleaning, checking, repeating behaviors, counting, and undoing.

Possibly: If your need to do things in a certain order is hurting you it is quite possible that it could be a compulsion, ( a behavior that must be repeated over and over). Ocd can be diagnosed with just obsessions (intrusive repetitive unwanted images or thoughts) or just compulsions. Individuals with OCD can be very disorgazed and messy when they feel they can't make something perfect, they give up.
