My mother has this problem and It's even worse because she has animals. what I did is I told her to find all the stuff she wanted to give to people and make a list of their names and the stuff underneath of them. (she hoards "for" people, as in she buys stuff she thinks people need.) when she made her list and collected the stuff we sat down and called up all these people to ask if they really wanted these pieces. when someone said no she had no reason to keep it anymore. when someone said yes.
She is not an Interior Redesigner, there is no such thing. She is a decorator. Interior Design is much more architectural, usually requiring construction work (like kitchen or bath design for example)
This is an American phenomenon. Americans' with their bigger is better lifestyle. Bigger houses, bigger cars, bigger debt, bigger government, bigger debts, bigger waistlines, and bigger stuff. What a bunch of losers. How quickly would her place be cleaned out if you disposed of all of the things made in China. The place would be almost entirely empty. Americans are the only "poor" people who need off-site storage lockers to store their crap.
@ekkyz It is happening more and more everyday in other parts of the world as the only thing America is producing now is the idea of mindless consumerism. 3-5% of the American public are hoarders. That is about 9-15 million people. Way to go America!
I hate....I DESPISE when I finally get rid of something unused...and within a day or a week I need that item. Reeeeally pisses me off, because it appears to affirm the "truth" of hoarding. Which I know is utterly untrue.
This is a mental disorder and there is a scale which establishes the degree a person hoards. It is called the NSGCD Clutter Hoarding Scale. It is the Official Organizational Assessment Tool. You can internet search this and also find it in pdf format.
my mom is a horder too, she used to live in our basement and we had to ask her to move out, she left our garage full of her stuff, it's been 2 years she still hasn't taken all of her stuff, she left us the basement half full for us to deal with it..

Nothing wrong with having a bit of useless stuff. Who cares as long as you have room for it. It's a psychological problem, but not on behalf of the "hoarder", it's people feeling the pressure of a society that says you can't attatch too much value to material things. Keep your stuff if it makes you happy, tell everyone who says otherwise to fuck off.
if the city or fire dept says you need to clean or move shit for safety reasons, personally, I think they should get a dumpster and clean it out. I know that doesn't solve the person's hoarding but that isn't the purpose for them.
A few years ago I was in a house where someone (Don't know who) I think was a hoarder. I was friends with this girl (Sort of) and when I went to her house, it was cluttered with junk everywhere with dining room chairs and such as front room furniture, and it just looked like a real dump, the kitchen, looked as if nobody ever did any washing up, and it looked as if the bin men had come in an dumped trash everywhere, yet the family were dressed quite nicely!
I have empathy for this couple because, like them, I have a couple rooms I don't want anyone to see. I keep my living room/dining room decent looking for the most part but I think this couple & myself are different than the lady in the apartment who has no walking space ANYWHERE. I think there are different degrees of hoarding if you call it that.
Yeah, I have had "messy" rooms too, but they weren't dirty, there was no dying food in them, just papers and boxes that should have been thrown away. The rest of the house looked great.
For sure...in fact, since watching some of these shows, I have a lot the gumption to clean and go through things a bit more. Having company over to your house is a great motivator sometimes & I use that to my advantage, but I shouldn't let my house get so cluttered..guess it happens to the best of us. :0
@GuacamoleKun hahahha... yea I'm like that too - I can't just see one thing in it's pakaging - it looks lonely... But i think of it more as waste otherwise
@GuacamoleKun omg, yes!!! I just shouldn't buy teddy bear cookies because of that. Xd I always try to leave a pair if I'm leaving any at all because then I stop and think: "Omg... poor teddy! He's gonna be alone in the box.!" XDD My dad says it's cute, I say it's stupid but it's fun. XD
@akissy I eat all the Teddy bear cookies,none should be left alive,mwahahahahaha,why am I so evil,well I'll tell you why,,,,they weren't alive to begin with,all the more reason to eat them,mwahahaha! xD!
@akissy I eat them in cereal so I can drown them,cause that's my evil side,I must let out sometimes,then I sometimes I eat them dry so I can here them scream better,their Teddy bear cookie scream's,They're like help meeee,and I'm like HAHAHAHAHA! Nearly choking on them in the process,All my hates of the world I usually take out on my food,especially animal cracker's,or maybe even Gummi bear's depending on my mood.lol.
@Met0llicA I mean I became attached to the food and didn't want to get rid of it even though I didn't have a use for it since I was full. (I was too young to think about "wasting" and it's not like I was worried about going hungry, my family had more than enough food.) It was just irrational attachment, and it was foreshadowing that I would become too attached to other items, too.
Very strange she's an interior designer? That almost make no sense...
