I find it hard to watch the show Hoarders. On it many times a person will hold on to a gum wrapper or something else similar, like plastic covers to newspapers, trying so passionately to explain that he/she may need it for something. If someone throws it away, frequently the hoarder will become angry, sullen, withdrawn, vindictive.
OCD is a very, very hard thing to understand, both by the person having it, and by the people they interact with.
