Messy, Collector or Hoarding Disorder?
Hi Everyone,
Do you feel your living space is cluttered with stuff and wondering if it is a hoarding disorder? Let's check out and feel free to add more information on the comment below ♡
Someone can be very messy, but as soon as they have motivation and time or have someone help, they have no issue throwing away stuff that is considered as thrash or invaluable and clearing the clutter.
Someone is a collector when they display their stuff proudly for their own satisfaction and or for others to see
Someone is a hoarder when it involves the acquisition of a large number of possessions that clutter the living area of the person collecting them.
It becomes a disorder when the behavior negatively affects the quality of life, disturbing the comfort of their living space, yet the person is having difficulty discarding the hoarded stuff or even becoming upset if someone tries to clear the clutter, which leads to significant distress.
Questions:
❍ Is there more information about hoarding you would like to add?
❍ What is the motivation behind hoarding behaviour?
❍ What is the 'fear' behind difficulty to discard hoarded stuff despite the discomfort and stress it causes?
❍ What do you think would be the first small step to do for someone suffering hoarding disorder to overcome it?
