Must admit I've just discovered got a glut of shower gel. I'm always frightened that I'll run out of essentials, that or the supermarket wont have any in stock, like last week. If I try to use what I've got I too panic with the 'what if I run out and can't get any more?' syndrome &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_confused.gif&quot; title=&quot;:?&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; Aren't plastic containers a marvellous invention for us hoarders &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/hoarding-2#post-38842 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 20:33:39 +0000 poppyfields 38842@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Hi Trudy, yes i tend to do the hoarding thing too. I can't ever have one of something, i have to have at least half a dozen. I've got plastic containers full of things ive bought to have just in case, i.e. birthday present stuff, showers gels, wrapping paper, birthday cards - 4 biscuit tins worth!! I'm trying to stop the bulk buying and use what i've got but i get panicky using up the stock, yet my house is small and i need the room!! All this said, i won't be buying more shower gels until i've used up what i've got, i've made that promise to myself and i also need to look into freeing up the space under the bed!!!!! </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/hoarding-2#post-38711 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:31:58 +0000 freddy 38711@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>I don't know if my reply is likely to help as I don't have hording OCD however, I do always seem to have a lot of clutter.<br /> Whenever I have a clear out I tend to ask myself two questions:</p> <p>1) Have I used/worn this within the last 6 months?<br /> 2) Am I likely to use/wear this within the next 6 months? If the answer is no to both (and it usually is) then the item has to go. </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/hoarding-2#post-38691 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:34:43 +0000 truddles 38691@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Does anyone have either hoarding OCD or tendencies to hoard?<br /> If so how have you gone about tackling the hoarding issue?<br /> Where and how do you begin? </p>
