I have OCd and have problems with counting money over and over. Sometimes it is because I think maybe I counted wrong, and much of the time it is me obsessing over "Would my family be able to survive if I died today". With OCD all sort of thoughts like this constantly are going through your mind and there is no relief unless you follow a particular routine or ritual that relieves some of the anxiety. It's just hard to explain how completly overpowering that anxiety is. It literally takes up all your thought and becomes the only thing that exists when you feel it and you have to do something about it to stop it. Like planning over and over or counting over and over. Or feeling like you have to hoard money and count it repeatedly. It is terrible.
