Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - OCD and Collecting Useless Objects

Do you ever feel the need to collect things even when you don't really want to? There are things that you can do right now to halt the process of what we call hoarding or collecting useless things.
I've seen people who collect newspapers whether they are or not.
I've seen people collect remotes.
Some weird things.
What we can do to stop collecting and hoarding is to ask ourselves.
"Why am I collecting this?" You may be collecting it out of some fear and if you are doing it as a ritual in that you fear that something bad will happen if you don't collect these things, then you have OCD.
Don't worry, over 3.
3 million Americans suffer from OCD so you are not alone.
However you probably want to know how you can stop doing it, especially since there is only so much room in your house or apartment and you you know it's not productive and wastes time that you can never get back ever.
Look at it with a fear of loss, Every second that you spend hoarding or performing rituals, those are seconds that you are not getting back.
These seconds add up to minutes, to hours, days and years.
Do you really want to waste all this time that you can never get back doing something so useless as hoarding.
I am suggesting a new method here.
Don't hoard and collect things because of the realization that it is robbing you of the most valuable currency that you have, which is time! Take action: Stop hoarding and collecting things because you simply don't have the time, period.
