It sounds like OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder). It's a common disorder that many people (who may not know it) suffer from. There is no phobia. I really think it's OCD.
EDIT: I don't know why people have it. Life is random. It's like a birth defect. Obviously nothing big, but life is random, and just like some people are born gay, left-handed, and with blue eyes, some people are born with OCD, autism, and blindness. It just depends. I can't tell you why you have it, but I can assure you that you're not alone. I have it, my mom has it, my maternal grandmother has it, my best friend has it, Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk also has an OCD where he constantly counts in 3s. He went as far as putting little number 3 stickers all over his drumsets and even tattooing 3 on his arm. Many people have it. It's very common! Don't feel bad.
YOU'RE NOT A FREAK. EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD HAS SOME WEIRD THING ABOUT THEM OR IN THEIR FAMILY. Nothing to cry or commit suicide about.
Put the gun down and go breathe some fresh air.
Peace.

This sounds not like a phobia really, but more of a type of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) which is not nessesarily a bad thing, but it is good to look up on it some more. :)
Do not worry So much about it, but DO learn more.

Sounds like OCD which is a compulsive disorder where you don't feel right if its not done right. But you can control that with medicine, but also its not that bad either.

That would be a form of OCD. You are obsessive over your routine and can't stand it any other way.

a person with this kind of attitude is called a "over perfectionist"......... and i dont think there is a direct phobic word for this one...... but it can be said that a person with atychiphobia (fear of failure) performs this kind of act.............
