Uhhhh, holy ****. This pretty much describes what I do. I am constantly organizing what little things I actually have. I am constantly bugging my boyfriend & his mother about how many THINGS they have, though realistically they probably have no more than most other people would... If I intend to relax, most of the time, I need to be in a totally empty & decluttered space. Or keep my eyes closed so I can't see anything around me.
Thankfully, though, it has lessened over the past few years. I just attributed it to OCD NOS, like with my strange counting obsessions & fixation on time/numbers. Now I just have Pure O OCD & a bit of trich that still bugs me every few days. Thank you for posting this... Enlightening.
