Cause or how to get rid of ocd compulsions Since quiete some years I'm suffering from ocd compulsions mainly characterized by repeating simple actions like closing the door, putting light on and off, typing something several times, etc.... And other simple actions. In my head it's something like something must 'feel' perfect or the right way and if it doesn't feel 'ok' I repeat until it does... kinda weird but ok... Is this a lack of self control? How do I get rid of this self thought behavior? I started doing this in a really stressfull period.

Thanks in advance,

Namaste
In Buddhism, the practise is called 'mental cultivation', which similar to OCD, repeatedly cultivates a Buddhist practise. For example: 


  What do you think, Rahula: What is a mirror for?
  
  For reflection, sir.
  
  In the same way, Rahula, bodily actions, verbal actions &amp; mental
  actions are to be done with repeated reflection.

Therefore, when OCD keeps repeating the thought: "Its not good enough; its not good enough"; Buddhist practise would keep repeating the opposite thought in order to make the OCD thought subside, i.e.: "Its good enough; its good enough".  

MN 20 states to replace an unskillful thought with the opposite type of thought, as follows:


  When unskillful thoughts... arise in a monk through reflection on an
  adventitious object, he should, (in order to get rid of that), reflect
  on a different object which is connected with skill. Then the
  unskillful thoughts are eliminated; they disappear. By their
  elimination, the mind stands firm, settles down, becomes unified and
  concentrated, just within (his subject of meditation).
  
  Like an experienced carpenter or carpenter's apprentice, striking hard
  at, pushing out and getting rid of a coarse peg with a fine one,
  should the bhikkhu in order to get rid of the adventitious object,
  reflect on a different object which is connected with skill. Then the
  unskillful thoughts are eliminated; they disappear. By their
  elimination the mind stands firm, settles down, becomes unified and
  concentrated, just within (his subject of meditation).
