What Are The Signs Of Obsession Compulsive Disorder?

Hello,My name is Charlie and I think something is wrong with me. My friends say it is OCD, but just want to be certain. Whenever I perform an action, for example, closing a door, I feel obligated to close it three more times. The same is with light switches and things like that. Also, when I drive away from my house, I think to myself if I closed the garage door. I feel obligated to go back to close it. Help!
