I have ocd and need a little bit of reassurance

I worry too much of what’s considered normal…

For example in my childhood I was obsessed with moshi monsters and had over 500 of them, gold, silver, glow in the darks, minis and all of them you can think of. It was a big part of my childhood and thinking of it now as a 21 year old adult makes me full of joy and want to collect them again, I’ve ordered 100 of them because I want to re collect but my ocd clings onto this saying “that’s wired, no one does that” and twists why I wanna collect them etc. does anyone else relate to this?

So basically I’m now spiralling and crying thinking this makes me a bad person and not normal. I know it sounds crazy but this is what ocd does. I’m having a full mental break down about this.
