if those are your only compulsions, then you might have a very very slight case of OCD. If you have others (some of which you might not even recognize as OCD) or obsess about morality, religion, sexuality, or have trouble accepting things that are not proven to you constantly, then it sounds like straight up OCD. What you have is definitely a sign of OCD, but it doesn't sound serious. Try not doing your compulsions and living with the anxiety for a week straight. I guarantee if you can go that long, you can go for life. I know its difficult to resist a compulsion, but its worth it.
