Sounds like compulsions, all right. Sorry to hear you're having a rough time! Have you experienced any obsessions as well? I don't think it happens too often that someone with OCD suffers from just compulsions.
Are you currently seeing a therapist for this, or even a psychiatrist/psychologist? I found one of the best things for my OCD was therapy, it can REALLY help you learn how to cope with it.
Best of luck to you!
