mlb, welcome!

my daughter is alot like that and she has OCD-obsessive compulsive disorder. a doctor can help you to understand what you're doing and why. have you noticed that when stressed you may do it more and maybe other things similar?

there are meds that can help alleviate the symptoms of it as well.

as angela said, we're not professionals and can only speak opinion or personal experience. i would see a family dr and ask for referral to the right dr for you.

be safe, good luck and let us know?
