I hope you're ok now. You're really been through the wringer.
One thing about getting old is the way we try to keep getting older. To quote Bette Davis, "Old age is no place for sissies."

One more I think is appropriate:
If there's a bright side to any of this, at least we're still here to complain about it . . .
It was indeed a mental thing. Once the doctor dispelled my obsession of having an STI, I quickly got back to normal, with record of passing 600 ml urine in one go, or 10 hours between two urinations.In March and April I woke up a few times at night, and once awake, to do something useful, went to pee. Only later did it occur to me that I woke up to pee. Never happened to me before! But let’s be optimistic: Better to wake up at night to pee than not to wake up at night to pee.
Now home I had some days with frequent urination (ten times per day*), so I made an appointment with an urologist in my hometown. Calling on telephone, I got an appointment the following week, which is very fortunate (I later learned it’s their summer low, usually it’s 6 to 8 weeks waiting time). For comparison, my father went to see a dermatologist and his appointment was in 2 months, and he had to drive 50 km as we don’t have a dermatologist in my hometown any more. How lucky I am in Bangkok and Taiwan, where I can go to see a doctor any time!
*I can now extend my book “Travelling with diarrhea” to “Travelling with diarrhea and frequent urination”.
I told the doctor what I do in Thailand and that my frequent urination could be caused by an STI.
Update 1sep2020. Second appointment to which I bring the micturition protocol he asked me to fill out (time and amount of urine). Then the unexpected diagnosis: I trained my brain and bladder to go to pee at the first impulse, and now I have to increase time between peeing to get back to normal.
My interpretation: psychosomatic or in Bangkok mentally (subconsciously when chatting with several boys per day) occupied with my penis for sex, now diverted to peeing.
