Question: Is it likely that I have OCD or some similar disorder?
.Unnecessary Repetitive Reading - I'll re-read sentences multiple times.
.Facial things - I'll look to the right or left (like I'm rolling my eyes) until I feel a certain amount of strain on my eye.
.If I see a bag of chips (or anything, really) that is faced backward I feel the need to turn it so it faces with the label out.
.If I'm watching T.V., I have to move anything between me and the TV that might possibly distract me.
.Audible - Not prevalent now, but when I was little I would always make noises, and struggle to refrain from doing so, I still do very rarely.

Answers:
Yes this sounds like OCD. There are many different obsessions and compulsions associated with the condition. I have OCD, I wash my hands after everything I touch, I know it is not right but I have to do it otherwise I feel anxious. Everyone has OCD to a certain extent but it is only when it is so severe that it affects your daily life that you need to get it checked by a GP who will refer you to a specialist. Hope this helps you.
