I did that thing you’re not really supposed to do to a friend, as a friend, which is to judge a friend and tell them that the way they’re living their life is wrong. And this fellow, let’s call him Theo, was a really good, close, longtime friend of mine. He was fun, funny, smart, creative, and entertaining. He had an interesting job and tons of even more interesting hobbies. We loved to eat and drink together, watch movies, and generally just crack each other up. We’d even traveled together quite a bit. We’d text, call, or email each other multiple times a day, just to tell each other really stupid and trivial things that we happened to find hilarious. But ev...

Hoarding behaviors can occur in a variety of psychiatric disorders and in the normal population, but are most commonly found in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Those people who report compulsive hoarding as their primary type of OCD, experience significant distress or functional impairment from their hoarding. They have symptoms of indecisiveness, procrastination, and avoidance, are classified as having compulsive hoarding syndrome. An estimated 700,000 to 1.4 million people in the United States are believed to have compulsive hoarding syndrome. More than a Hobby Compulsive hoarding is not just an enthusiast’s passi...

However, in other individuals, compulsive hoarding may be considered a symptom of OCD and has unique clinical features. These findings have implications for the classification of OCD and compulsive hoarding in the next edition of DSM. (Text has been reformatted for visual clarity; ed.)

Since the dawn of hunting and gathering, some people have always gathered more than others and just couldn't bear to part with it. When such behavior crosses the line from the eccentric into the DSM-IV realm, it becomes a symptom-hoarding-the compulsion to acquire objects coupled with an unwillingness to discard them.

But, I got to thinking how you all could use a good laugh. And, I’ve never minded a laugh at my expense as long as it’s a real, good, deep bellylaugh. So, I decided to repost it here to give my friends a giggle or two. And, YES, I really did this…..UM   FYI….I can also do this trick with my tongue. DO NOT get excited,WN! Just another mundane Monday. Until I superglued my tongue on accident. Of course, it was an accident. What idiot would purposely put superglue on their tongue????? I decided to try once again to attack my Haven of Hoarding and toss, organize, repair, etc. some of my many precious treasures.

I found myself yelling at my Navigational System in my new car yesterday…. that would have been funny, if it were not for the fact that I was IN MOTION, turning onto a one-way street in downtown San Antonio, Texas… and that’s ok too… cause I was going only ONE-WAY… unfortunately, I was going the WRONG-WAY! I found myself face to face with traffic in a $38,000 vehicle that I did NOT want scratched, dented, poked, prodded, or otherwise mutilated….

In severe cases, clutter can get so out of control it can endanger lives-as in the case of a Houston woman who died in a 2006 fire because her clutter-filled home hindered firefighters' efforts to rescue her. "Hoarding is different from being disorganized or not prioritizing," says John Hart, LCPC, a behavior therapist with the Menninger Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders Treatment Program who treats patients who hoard. "If there is a pathological accumulation of stuff in their home, then something has gone pretty desperately wrong." A sub-type of obsessive-compulsive disorder, hoarding is the compulsion to collect and store items considered ...

Back to compulsive buying of stuff that I have no use for. I wrote about this a couple of posts ago in a joking manner. But, it’s getting to be not so funny. I’m sitting here right now looking at stuff spread all over my kitchen. What a mess!!!! Went crazy at the bag sale again yesterday. Limited Too stuff. Junk jewelry all over my kitchen table, counter, floor, and stove. Hope I don’t forget and turn the burner on. Plastic melting is not a good smell. I stayed up till the wee hours of the morning untangling necklaces, fixing earrings, and in general, acting like a pig in slop. I have an obsessive and addictive personality. The obsessions change all the time.  The problem is that they are not usually productive obsessions.

I seriously was in Hoarder’s Heaven today. And, even better, I was in the company of other hoarders. It was bordering on shameful and probably a sin. But, that’s OK. I’ll just say a thousand Hail Mary’s and go again tomorrow (if I can sneak away). Let me explain…….to all of us who have to get stuff (and we’re not particular, we’ll take any stuff), finding a Hoarder’s Heaven is waaay better than sex. It’s such a rush to drag bags of stuff back home. But, it’s more of a rush to be in the “minute of buying“. It’s only later that you must admit that you bought stuff that you have absolutely no use. In my case, this presents another problem. I begin to obsess over it. What to do with it?
