Just checking (ha ha) to see if any of you guys have problems throwing things in the garbage....i feel like i threw away something important and have to hover over the can checking the contents. This goes on till i find something else to worry about. bye!

It's a common symptom of OCD; it's called hoarding. I think my dad has this problem! He won't throw ANY receipts away, even if it's just for milk and bread at the store. I know that is'nt exactly what you're going through, just thought I'd throw that in there, lol.
Type in "hoarding & OCD" on a search engine, I'm sure you'll find some info.
Good luck :wave:

I'm sorry, it's really only hoarding if you CAN'T throw anything away (duh, me), but like I said, your problem is'nt uncommon, and you'll find some examples on a search engine.

Shannon,
Thank you for your input. I guess it might be a form of hoarding since as long as I keep the item I feel no stress. But when I throw it out it bothers me. Appreciate your response.
