Do people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder who hoard things also hoard disk space?

i would have to say yes. some people like to cling to old random things because of the memories etc etc
i used to save stupid pictures to my computer and then never delete them just because i still thought they were funny and was afraid i’d never see it again. same with songs. i still have a hard time deleting crappy songs from my computer that i never even listen to, just because the band isn’t even together anymore and i don’t want to forget about them or anything. i dunno. i don’t do it as much nowadays. i’m much better than my sister at least… that girl is absolutely ridiculous.

Well I’m not sure it counts, but I know people who seem a bit OC about their backups and multiple redundancy…..

I for one am a bit OCD, and I have noticed that I keep songs on my Ipod that I don’t even listen to.

I’m guessing that this hoarding behavior carries over. @general specific, do you hoard objects too? Same with you, @aanuszeki.

I’m a bit OCD, and it’s true to an extent, except that because of the OCD I randomly get these, well, organizational “manias” if you will. That’s when I am so intent on everything being perfect and spotless that I go on wild rampages and delete tons of things I don’t use or forgot about.

@Mr M, only some objects. but yes, a lot of random things i don’t need. especially old homework and school papers/projects. but sometimes when i clean my room i get in certain moods where i can throw nearly anything away and those days usually help

@Mr. M

oh yes, most defiantly

@poof I’m right there with you. I keep a lot of things, but then I go on OCD fueled rampages where everything that I don’t immediately need, gets tossed.
