God what a dreadful and ill advised thing to say to someone with OCD or anxiety! OCD cannot kill you, OCD are thoughts and compulsions (NOT compulsions to act on thought, compulsions to rid you of anxiety - mainly hand washing, checking etc), thoughts cannot bring on heart disease!
Not all counsellors are equipped to be treating OCD sufferers (if this is the correct diagnosis), don’t be afraid to ask for a counsellor who has experience in treating OCD. Good luck x
