It's definitely your OCD, all of this. Honestly, it's not smart to try to fix tis yourself. You need a cognitive behavioural specialist that can moniter and adjust your behaviors carefully. If you try to do it yourself, you'll fall flat. You can't tell yourself how much is too much because your idea of normal is distorted, therefore you can't tell yourself if what you're changing is better or worse for you.
Your boyfriend can alert you when you're doing something abnormal, but you won't listen to him forever. It'll feel too much more like a lecture to you than it will be helpful. In other words, if he tells you to stop doing something, you may listen for a bit, but then you'll go back to what you're doing and it'll hurt your relationship for both of you.
I'm not sure what else is going on with you, but this is just as much a medical problem as all of your other medical problems- so if you can find a way to get help, do it. Especially seens how it's starting to affect other areas of your life.
