Hello Shawn A, welcome to Psych Central.

Yep, sounds like OCD to me. OCD are rituals or obssessions that we have that we do in order to make things feel safe. These rituals become an issue when they start to take over our life, like they are with you right now. Here is a link to articles all about it >>> Obssessive-Compulsive Disorder Symptoms and Treatment

You've made a great step in recognising the issues, please now look at getting help and support from your doctor.
