Hello,
As you have described your problem, it appears that you are right in diagnosing your problem yourself. Yes it is OCD. Before it worsens further, I think you should start treatment with anti-obsessional drugs like tablet sertraline 50 mg once at bed-time daily. Dose might need to be increased depending on the response.
Hope your problems resolves at the earliest.
Thanks.
