anxiety or OCD?

I'm like 124% I have anxiety for multiple reasons
1- my mother has bad anxiety, so genetically it could've been passed down.
2- some times I rehearse what I'm going to say to other people before I say it multiple times because I'm afraid that I'll stutter or say stupid nonsense.
3- I FEAR THE FUTURE SO MUCH.
4- I unnecessarily feel the need to be perfect 24/7. Like I have to walk a certain way and eat a certain way and talk a certain way to be accepted into the community and be loved and accepted, or at least that's what my brain tells me.
5- I get hung up on everything that has the least bit of worthiness of being anxious over (ex. tests, concerts, people, sOcIAl iNtErActIoNs) and I never let myself live down anything I've ever messed up, even if I messed up one word in one statement, I'll remember it.
6- I'm always jittery or sweaty there's no in between.

Now, as for OCD. I think my brain is trying to convince myself I have it when I really don't, but I've noticed patterns that aren't necessarily normal? Please correct me if im wrong on if these behaviors could be signs of OCD.

1- certain messes make me incredibly anxious, usually like stacks of papers and clothes, like if they're not fixed it'll bother me forever
2- odd numbers make me so angry, like I'll get anxious with odd numbers. Example, I was playing super Mario brothers and I has 37 lives and my fingers were jittery and my leg started bouncing, and I only felt calm(-ish) when I had 36 lives.
3- things not being in order can go to HELL

Now as I write these out, I realize that these are probably symptoms of generalized anxiety and not OCD. I have an app called Ada (very helpful for your mental/physical health issues!!) that had used my stated symptoms to complete a medical assessment (not an official one, just based on symptoms stated and their longevity, for a real medical assessment you (and maybe I) should go to a professional medical center) that said that OCD was a possibility.

In other words, I'm mentally ill and I'm just going to go eat ice cream to drown out my emotions :)
