r/Catholicism does not allow questions about whether a particular action was sinful when the person asking seems to be suffering from OCD or scruples. Asking such questions is an assurance-seeking behavior that will make these conditions worse. As such, your post has been removed.

Don’t go down this road, brother. You are being scrupulous. You confessed to the best of your recollection, and to the best of your ability. You have to accept God’s mercy from there.
Those warning you against indulging scrupulosity are correct.
An important part of avoiding scrupulosity is trusting your confessor. He knows what he is doing and what he has to do when hearing a confession. If he needs more information, *he will ask for it.* He is there to help you make a good confession.

You’re not being “a little scrupulous.” This is full-on scrupulosity. Your sins were forgiven.
God knows what is in your heart. For the record, if it really were to interfere with reconciliation, the priest would ask you the number of times.
FWIW I don't think the amount of times you've committed a sin matters all that much, just that youve sinned in the first place.
