hoarder feel when you go over to your friends house and they say "sorry everything is so messy" but it's cleaner than your house has been in years

that hoarding feel when the only tv/movie representation you get is people who are called disgusting and bad

Is it a hoarding feel when someone cleans your room because it was "too messy" and you have an anxiety attack/spiral into a depression?

yeah, definitely !!

minimalist bedrooms are nice but you’ll never catch my cluttered materialist ass alive

Just wanted to say that I'm an ex-hoarder that's been rehabilitated. My anxiety/depression is what made it happen and I had hoarded so badly in my first apartment/studio that I had to have professional help come and clean it out. I now still have hoarding tendencies but going on anti-anxiety/depression meds and welcoming people to remind me to clean has been super super helpful. So for people who feel helpless or lost, and want out but can't see out, I promise it's doable!

I don't talk about my hoarding with anyone because of the stigma. But now my boyfriend asked me to move in with him and I really want to. But I'm scared he'll change his mind once I have the courage to talk to him about it. Any advice on how to tell people about this disorder? I could use someone to talk to. (Thank you for this blog and for creating a safe space, ily)

i think that you could either say that you are just a messy person, or if you want to be truthful, you could tell him that you have a disorder that makes it really hard to get rid of things. it would be good to provide him with resources, and make it clear that the hoarding shows don’t really show real/usual experiences (since that’s probably the only place he’ll know it from). being open and having good communication is important, so i think just telling him directly would be the best option ! i know it’s really nerve-wracking to talk to people about it, and i really hope that he reacts well. good luck !!

I’m the type of person who holds on to ticket stubs and photos and presses flowers but never puts them into a scrapbook I just have them scattered everywhere which brilliantly illustrates how I’m a sentimental piece of shit who can’t put their life together

I get really nervous using my cool stickers for things like what if I need this sticker later I won’t have it what will i do then

my whole life ive had a really bad problem with eating pretty food because i want to hoard it. and when i was rlly young i got this pretty bee cookie and kept it in my closet and the ants got to it and i literally cried. idk if anyone else has had this problem tho

WOW yeah i have that problem too !!! i started taking pics of my food when i got a phone though which helped (esp when i realized that i never looked at the pics) ! i didn’t realize more ppl did this tho !
