I deal with my anxieties with compulsive behavior. I repeat phrases over and over again until I feel better. I have to do this about 20 times just to get through the day.

I sometimes have to count to myself or touch or check things to make sure they’re there. 

My anxieties are related to things beyond my control, like getting in a car crash or getting in some sort of altercation. 

I also have some bfrbs. 

But, I’ve been told several times I just have anxiety and not ocd. So, I guess my question is, when does anxiety with compulsions become ocd?
