By definition this absolutely seems like a compulsive behavior. Obsessive-compulsive usually means that not only does this compulsive (constant and without ability to control) behavior exist, but you are constantly (or nearly constantly) thinking about it (obsession). There is also a condition called "compulsive-only OCD" though. I'd definitely bring this up with a therapist or psychiatrist, since it apparently is severe enough to cause stress.
