Is this an OCD symptom?

I was recently diagnosed with OCD and since then I'm trying to recognize what's a symptom and what is not. I suffer from depression too and I go through a lot of moments when I'm totally off, zero energy, but sometimes I get a bit of energy and I HAVE to do EVERYTHING. An example: this week I have a little bit of energy and I thought about getting caterpillars to grow butterfly, going to the pool and start building muscle, start to donate blood and the list goes on. The problem is that in my head I must do everything not really to avoid bad things but it's almost painful phisically to not been able to do everything I plan and since I want to do a lot of thing together I'm frequently unable to do nothing, because it's too much, I start something then I get the urge to do something else, I can't focus on my study cause I think about everything else I have to do . I don't know if you can get what I'm trying to say. I know it can sound like a good thing to be able to have a lot of plans but it's not, it's really overwhelming. I think it's because of OCD cause it's something I want to do but even something I have to do in order to avoid feeling my own brain explode. I hope I explained myself .
