The hand-washing OCD part isn't bad at all, no. I think it's probably because a lot more people touch the same object than at home. Before, I had really bad checking/rechecking OCD symptoms, like needing to check over what I was writing/typing for 2 hours before submitting it and I would get super anxious over it after I submitted it because I would be afraid of it not being perfect. I sometimes get a problem with order, not really. When I am by myself, I usually get a lot of intrusive thoughts and I have this compulsion where I need to shake my head, cover my ears with my hands, and tell myself "no" or "stop" several times until the thought is gone. That is pretty terrible.
