Odd Obsession?

I hoard but it's not like you imagine. No one would know if they came into my home.

However, tucked away in my closet, my medicine cabinet, and in the vanity beneath the sink, are growing collections.

I save socks, antipersperants, jewelry, and cosmetics.

My OCD revolves around catistrohpic thinking and supersticious behaviour. Namely, if I've had a bad or difficult day I am convinced it was because of one of the items named above. I will switch to a new one or bite the bullet and give one of the old ones another try. If my day was bad perhaps it was because I wore the wrong socks? Used the wrong deodorant or make-up. Maybe if I change up the combination I will have better luck. And, if I have a good day it is the opposite. I cling to using that product - until it's either gone or I end up with a bad day.

Just wondering if I'm alone. I assume there are others out there that are to some degree supersticious?

I hoard. Find it near impossible to throw things away.
But so far I haven't blamed my mood - I'm a little ocd,but mainly bipolar.

I do get what you're saying though. Good vibes your way.

it's an OCD trait connecting events with luck. you mind imagine some colors,numbers, dress etc as sign of bad luck , and if any bad happen to you mind join/connect /compare this event to your bad luck list.come to a decision this bad happended because of this color,number etc
try to counter attack this event one day, ( wear a wrong colorintentionally (unlucky color) socks before go to work if nothing bad that day your mind learn to clear this OCD
do it again, if a bad thing happen dont give up

You are not alone LOL... blessings (((hugs)))
