OCD: You're describing some classic symptoms of OCD. Hallmark is knowing the thoughts and compulsive behavior are illogical, but unable to stop them. Your stress is very real. What's unusual is having OCD first episode as an older adult. See your doctor to make sure no underlying medical factors contributing to anxiety. OCD is treatable. See a mental health professional for guidance. https://iocdf.org/about-ocd/
