Is this a type of OCD?

Not wearing something because you think something bad will happen if you do?

Keeping things in a certain order because you think something bad will happen if you don't?

Just wondering if this is a 'normal' thing to do or possibly an OCD.

Thanks

I'm not an expert but I guess to have that label it would be continuous and causing a significant impairment to day to day life.

It does depend on how much of an impact it's having on your life but it sounds like ocd to me (I am a sufferer). I have definitely not worn something because of fearing something bad would happen, it's called 'magical thinking'
