I think I have OCD and I need advice.

Question

Asked for Female, 16 Years

Constantly, whenever I'm boiling the kettle, I can't let it flick off on its own, I have to flick it off myself or have someone else do it. As it gets closer to finishing boiling, I begin feeling anxious and force myself to run and click it off. I also have to count the stairs everytime I walk up/down them. If I forget, I have to go back and count them. Whenever I burn my lip (smoker), I'm forced to burn my other one for it to feel right. The same happens whenever I get punched in the arm.
