Do I have a mental illness or something?

Question

These are my problems:

I CANNOT eat anything orange. I don't have a problem with wearing the color or anything, but I get all weird and nervous about orange foods or drinks.

When I go up the stairs, I have to count them aloud, and if I ever get two different numbers, I have to go back down and do it all over again.

I have a hard time saying peoples names. Like I will address them by saying hey! or calling them miss or mister. Calling them by their name gives me like a mini panic attack or something.

Whenever I take a shower, I scrub myself so hard. I can't stop myself. I tell myself that i'll do it once and stop but somehow I keep scrubbing. I've cried in the shower because the water gets so cold but I can't get out. I have scrubbed my skin off so many times.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??

There is nothing wrong with you. You should see a doctor and talk about what you have disclosed here. It is possible that you have a chemical imbalance that can very easily be cured.
