Is this OCD?

For over a year now, iIve been treated for anxiety and depression. I've been on and off meds since being diagnosed. However, I realized that I follow really odd patterns. Like when a car comes down the street, I have to run into the house before the car passes by. If I don't get through the door before it passes, I have this irrational fear that I'll have a bad day, or have bad luck towards a certain situation I was thinking about. I've had this pattern since I was young. Although, this fear only comes about when I'm going through times of anxiety or severe depression. Also, I used to be obsessed with having every door in the house closed. Recently, I've noticed that I've been blinking a lot. And just like the fear of passing cars, it usually happens when I'm in times of stress, anxiety, or depression.
Could this be OCD, or am I just an eccentric character? i also ask this knowing I have family history of OCD.

Very likely OCD. After all, anxiety is the mother of OCD and some other illnesses.
