I haven't been diagnosed with OCD but I think I am partaking in OCD-like activities and habits. The major one is my insistence on "rebooting" where if something goes wrong or if I feel like I'm not leading my life properly, I'll reset my PC, clean my room, drop almost everything that I'm doing to start anew. How do I overcome this urge to "reboot?"
I'm starting college soon and I feel like this will really hurt me in the long run.

I found caffeine literally gave me OCD. It's probably something to do with dopamine.
The only way to bet OCD is to stop acting out on the rituals.

Just stop doing it. It requires a tremendous amount of willpower, but it can be done. Whenever you feel the urge, remind yourself that it isn't a logical impulse, that it's just your mental illness forcing you to do these things, and fight it. You will fail a lot in the beginning, but that's okay. Recovery is never instant. If you practice this approach enough, though, you will get stronger in time and you will be able to reject your impulses.

If you only have compulsions every one in awhile, you probably don't have OCD. Are you doing this daily?

Huh, I've never heard caffeine causing OCD. Were you actually diagnosed?

some OCD is pure obsession-based though, I suggest therapy, because if he just stops acting on those urges the OCD might just change the way it presents itself but still linger
