True Life: I'm A Hoarder
We've all an episode of Hoarders, seen the unbelievable messes and felt a little better about the small stack of dishes we left in the sink. Hoarding isn't just being untidy though, it is a symptom of OCD and a serious mental health issue. People hang on to things others consider to be junk to the point they can barely walk through their own home. Recovery is possible, but it's a long road.

Sometimes a particular kind of object is the worst...

I hate that I'm a hoarder and a minimalist at the same time. I want my home to have an open concept, no clutter, contemporary style but I can't part with anything. Especially cardboard boxes 😣

That's a lot of wasted rent money.

I'm a single woman but I rent a 5 bedroom 3 bathroom house, why? Because I'm a hoarder.. 😩😳

It's not just being messy. It's psychological.

I'm a hoarder. My father just told me to "clean my room" like it's that simple. Like I could do it in a couple of afternoons if I just tried. That's not how it works.

It becomes a security blanket.

I'm a hoarder. I have panic attacks in places that are too neat. I don't feel comfortable unless there's clutter.

It can feel like there's no way out.

I'm a hoarder.... and don't know how to get out of the mess I created...

Baby steps.

I'm a hoarder. I struggle to throw anything away. Today I've been throwing away scraps of fabric I'd normally keep. It's a very small step on a long journey
