OCD Drives My Ritualistic Behaviors

It's an annoyance I'm forced to deal with on an average day, that usually includes: checking my phone for times like 3:33, 5:55, 11:11, etc., or turning the knob on my door nearly a thousand times, to reassure myself that it's locked. If I do not complete one of these rituals, it will be on my mind for the rest of the day. I'm not entirely sure when I developed these behaviors, but I have a feeling they are motivated by my schedule. If I'm having a busy day, then I'm less likely to waste time doing these acts, but when its a slow day, you can bet I'll be preoccupied with my OCD.
