Poll of the Day > I'm moving house in about two weeks, and I'm having trouble deciding which of my

(+) Yeah! (+)

belongings to take with me. Forgive me if this sounds like the post of someone with OCD. I've compiled a list of what I'm definitely taking with me, which was much easier than trying to compile a list of what I'm not.

Box of mail clutter: Sensitive items that I don't want a soul to peek at.
Laptop computer: I can just wipe this down.
Backpack: Essential.
Clothes: Essential
Wallet, phone, charger, headphones: Can easily be sanitized.
Still-sealed rice-cooker: Not dirty.
Laundry basket: I have to do my laundry in something.
Everything in my suitcases, since those are sealed tight.

This is a list of what I definitely plan to leave behind.

Water: Inexpensive, and it costs only four American dollars for a forty-bottle case.
Dry toiletries and laundry detergent: In the bathroom, and out of the question as to whether or not I'll be taking them.

This is a list of what I might plan to toss/leave behind, and my reasons for not taking them with me.

Toothpaste and toothbrushes: They've been resting in a cabinet, but I cannot ascertain how dirty the inside of the cabinet is. In truth, all that's happened to it is that it's been transported from their old house to the new one. Anything inside may therefore be taken relatively safely.
Q-Tips, deodorant, and laundry sheets: Same as above.
Rice container: I have not touched this ever since the landlord made a mess of my sink. But it's been in contact with the cup, which has been in contact with the rice cooker, which has been in contact with the affected area. Granted, the cup itself was never in the rice cooker after the mess happened. Still, I'm a bit hesitant about taking a rice container that's been in contact with a cup that's been in a rice cooker that isn't that far away from the bathroom. Again, this may be the possible OCD talking. Perhaps not.
Ziploc bags, brand-new dishwashing liquid, dishwashing sponges: Unsealed, and in close proximity to the rice container, and that context I have given it.
Paper towel: There's only one, it's unsealed, and it is in close proximity with the rice container.

Box on the floor of the closet: Contains stationery among other things. I still have to question whether or not these are safe to take due to the proximity of it to a bunch of items I get tired of remembering the "cleanliness level" of.
Mints: They only hinder my toothbrushing habits anyway, and they were on the sink; I had to pass the sink to transport all my used toiletries into the bathroom, per the landlord's request.
Earplugs: I keep them stored near the mints.
Small disposable trash bags: Near the mints, and probably subject to light handling when I had to sanitize a host of other things.
Sanitizing spray and wipes: Nearby the trash bags, and they are almost out anyway.

Sanitation gloves: I may have forgotten to wash my hands prior to putting them on, and they're on the top shelf, where the supposedly safe things are.
Bowls, chopsticks: I didn't trust the cabinet enough to keep them stored in there, so they're in the closet, well above the trash bags and sanitizing materials.
Game controller: I'm on the fence with this one. It's in the top shelf in the closet, but it's just too personally dear to me to replace.
Spare hangers: On top the closet, where everything else in this block is, including the sanitation gloves.

Anyway, I am definitely not eager at all to replace all of these items. Can anyone tell me if I'm overreacting a bit in respect to the items I'm choosing not to take? Even I'm getting tired of my possibly undiagnosed OCD tendencies and obsessions. I can assure that it's driving me mad; it's caused me to become more disorganized and careless in my sanitary habits, ironically enough. Forgive my possible misuse of the word, "irony", besides. Anyway, based on this list, do you think I have a few overly obsessive tendencies that are characteristic of one who has that disorder with the obsessive compulsions and the like? This behavior is not new, by the way; for many years, I had suppressed it, because I forgot to care about myself and what I ingested. My family had handled my behavior by proclaiming that I was faking it, then shouted at and beat me for faking a genuine life-hindering disorder. Then I stopped out of necessity/fear. In any case, I started out this post asking for advice on which items I am overreacting about. So I shall ask: Which items am I overreacting about, assuming that you have the patience to read through that list?

I must have these answers.

Take it all with you and toss it out when you get there, unpack and determine you really dont need <said item(s)>
