It sounds to me like maybe you need to see a therapist, psychiatrist or MD. You can Google or Yahoo search Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, also, if you'd like to know more about the symptoms and treatment.
Also, here's a quiz from Psych Central that can possibly help you:

You probably will need to discuss this with your doctor. I definitely would not recommend talking to a therapist about it yet (Unless you have one), so you do not waste money.

I know you saying you have been doing things that are so common they have become problems...what kind of things, and how often? Daily? Hourly? Over and over at that time?
I hope this helps. But my recommendation is to first talk to a MD, unless it is so strict and so overwhelming you cannot handle it much longer.
Best,
