What Are The Signs Of Having OCD(obsessive Compulsion Disorder)?

in the daytime its not as bad, but as soon as it gets dark I am paranoid that someone is in my house and that they are trying to kill me. I always check everywhere to make sure nobody is there. I usually stay up late so when I walk into my room for bed it's pitch dark and I will check everywhere to make sure nobody is there. I won't enter a room without turning on a light cause I am afraid of people killing me. If I am in my bed and I have to go pee I will grab a light and check everywhere on my way to the bathroom. I also always have a blanket, I feel like it's a shield incase someone comes and try's to kill me.. when I turn corners I pop my head to make sure no one is there in my house. Do I have OCD?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi dear,
what ever you described is not suggestive that you are suffering from OCD.
according to your history you might have psychosis or anxiety .
but one can not say without face to face consultation and history.
so as early as possible consult psychiatrist.
have any suspicious or any hearing of voices ?
is there any abnormality in your behavior and speech?

thank you
