Can you have a compulsion without OCD?

When my lips are too dry because I did not drink enough water or have been exposed to dry air I sometimes bite my lips too because I know something is not right. Chap stick helps me.Anxiety is a state of mind caused from worry and is a learned behavior. Learn how to have faith trust and courage and you may find you worry less. Write out what makes you sad and upset and know that you are not alone with these emotions. Grief and improper grieving can make one very sad and anxious also. Gentle walking helps sadness as does proper diet. Write out each day several things that you are thankful for and see if your depression remains. There are no ignorant or useless answers to any question for we as humans know very little about this universe.Thank you for your questions.
