CarolAnn, part of my OCD is saving things that I intend to recycle but never do (tons of plastic bags, plastic containers, old batteries, pens that don't work, etc. etc.). This is part of my OCD (feeling responsible for everything, animate and inanimate). You might want to read up on OCD and see if that might be why it's so hard to throw things away.--Cindy W
