.you'll be happy to know that to another person with ocd...all your quirks make perfect sense.....lol.......i also have ocd and have had it for 30 yrs or more.......your counting quirks are very much an ocd thing......i have had every obsession and compulsion there is including the counting one.....when i clean i have had to wipe things off to the count of 6.....when i closed doors i would have to pull on the handle 3 times......every doorknob in my house is broken! lol..but let me give you some good news.....i have eliminated 98% of my symptoms through meds and therapy and live a fairly ocd free life!....i suggest that you see a therapist and talk to her about meds.....i was on prozac for over 10 yrs......worked well for me but the sexual side affects got to me so i switched recently to effexor cr and that is working well too....there is hope for you! lol.....i'm here if you need to talk......
