"OCD" as in "I don't like clutter" or real OCD as in "if I don't clear away the clutter my family will die in a car crash, I know that's illogical, and yet I'm still encumbered with the intrusive thought?"

OCD as in “not having closing tags matching open tags is driving me insane”. Maybe OCD isn’t the proper term, but I don’t know of a better one.
Respectfully, please try to refrain from using OCD casually. It's not like you're the only one, but it's a debilitating disease.
What is a better term to use that means when things are not perfectly matched it drives me so insane that I can't function until I go in there and fix it so that everything is exactly right?
