:lau I have a problem getting rid of stuff. i.e I don’t. :lau
Hoarder... Remember what we said about intervention on hoarding. For starters, don't buy more stuff.

Seriously, I had to help clean out my godson's place when his dad died. They were both hoarders. Their kitchen is about the same size as mine (ie; tiny) and I pulled about a third of a dumpster's worth of expired food out of it. There was no room to walk.

Apparently my godson's new place up in Oregon is so full he barely has a path from the front door to the bathroom. No idea where or how he sleeps.

You don't want to see my house!

There is help for hoarders. If you think you *might* have some tendencies towards that, get help now before you get to the point my godson is at.

He is slowly eating and hoarding himself to death. He's on disability, but his mother and I disagree on one thing. I think he needs to be institutionalized for his own good, she wants him to be happy in his own home.

Nahh, I’m not an actual hoarder or anything. That hoarder TV show disgusts me :lau

I was mostly kidding with my post. I can get rid of stuff and have a few times before. Actually I just cleaned my room out a few months ago and threw away a bunch of stuff. It’s just hard for me with certain stuff. My main issue is I just don’t have enough room to store all my stuff atm. If I did it’d be organized.

Although that said I do probably need to get rid of a lot of it and if I ever move I’m sure I will. I mostly have too many clothes, books, and band merch/music stuff, as well as animal supplies. But also a lot of random stuff I could get rid of. And have. Should probably go through all my stuff again.

But stuff like expired food or not being able to walk or whatever, I would never be able to do that. :sick

I actually love cleaning and organizing once I get going and have cleaned our kitchen cabinets numerous times and threw away so much stuff. :lau

So I can do it but when I start going through my stuff, there’s a lot of stuff I’m attached to or whatever. Most of the stuff I could probably easily get rid of though but the merch I don’t think I could. Too many memories attached. And not sure about the books. I’d worry I’d get rid of it and then want or need it later.

But I do need to go through and get rid of all the other extra stuff so that way the other things aren’t as big of a deal.

My mom I think is an actual hoarder. Not like the people on TV but she has stuff all over the house in cabinets or just piled on the floor or whatever and while her room is somewhat better lately, you used to not even be able to walk in it hardly cause there’d be stuff stacked so high and half of her bed (big queen size I think) is full of stuff. I don’t know how she sleeps either. And forget about the garage. You cannot even walk into it.

I am not that bad but do somewhat worry I might be heading here eventually. Especially since the few times I have tried to fully clean my room, it got too overwhelming and I had to stop. Though that was more because I didn’t know where to start rather than because I didn’t want to get rid of stuff but still.

That’s really sad. :(

I’m nowhere near that point, I just have a problem buying. :oops:

But I do get rid of quite a lot too whenever I clean.

I don’t usually have problems with that but sometimes I do.

All my band merch has way too many memories attached so it makes it hard to get rid of it.

But there’s plenty of other stuff I do get rid of quite easily.

I’ve told myself I never want to end up like my mom. You can’t even walk in her room or the garage.
 
I would never seek help. I am totally against institutionalizing anyone. As long as what people do is not harmful to other people they should be left alone.
His home is a health hazard, and he's about to get evicted. I'm so afraid he's going to end up on the street and dead in a couple of years. He won't take his meds.

I understand both sides, though, so that's why I don't push too hard. It's his life, but he's incapable of understanding anything more than immediate consequence. I just don't want to see him go so young. He's almost 30.
 
Just want to throw in here that my grocery store egg was a late quitter. I opened the egg and it was malpositioned and still had quite a bit of yolk left. Picture below.
