hi, i have diagnosed & complex OCD. one of the ways it manifests for me is that i horde random items because i feel like although they have no use & are insignificant, i need them. OCD stands for “obsessive compulsive disorder”. please educate yourself.
Wait... that's a symptom of ocd? Ive been collecting small meaningless items my entire life. Rn my obsession is monster energy drink tabs... I genuinely cannot throw the can away without popping the tab off to keep.

it really is. when i got diagnosed, my mom at first didn’t believe the diagnosis then asked me why my room wasn’t cleaner… so i had to educate her

Wait I know that my grandma was a hoarder when she was alive 😭 I always just thought I picked that up from her when I started collecting pointless things... this is making sense I fear
