I think i have a form of OCD but i'm not sure. I constantly add the numbers on license plates while driving and depending on what they add up to ie. odd or even is the answer yes or no to the issue pressing me at that time. Is this OCD?

It could be, but isn't necessarily. It sounds like "Magical Thinking" but the big question is whether or not this causes you distress or interferes with your life.

WOW
I thought i was the only one who did things like that. I don't add the numbers but here in Ontario, we have many letters and I am constantly rearranging them to see what words I can form. I played an online game called texttwist and that is NOT good for someone like us. I also divide things by 3's all the time. I have talked to a therapist about it and she states that it is actually a very smart thing to do and indicates a very high I.Q. So take pride in knowing you are a very smart person and that because of your intelligence, you will find an end to all this and not to worry.
hope this helps
