Hello Peter. I'm not sure how much clutter affects me. I have a tendency to live in a disorganized environment, which I'm sure that some people would find not right. However my rationale is that I have better things to do than to super organize things. I do make time every few mths to clean up and file, organize etc my place. Sometimes I take too long to through something out or to get rid if it, but not to the point that it bothers anyone. Well occasionally the wife LOL, but then she hangs onto some things to long too. There is a big difference between someone who has some clutter and disorganization and someone who is hoarding. Take Care. paul m
Hello Dragonfly, I know very little about hoarding other than it can become a real problem. I came across this website however I cannot say whether it is good or bad as I simply don't know enough.
https://www.adaa.org/understanding-anxiety/obsessive-compulsive-disorder-ocd/hoarding-basics I do know enough to know that even the experts aren't 100% sure about hoarding causes. The article does suggest about how to do an intervention, but I have no experience in that area and for all I know the article is not correct. Sorry that I can't be more help. Take Care. paul m
P.S. ATT Buddy Mack and/or Peace. The article states the following :Those most often associated with hoarding are obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and depression. You two are more up on the OCPD and OCD than I am , any ideas or suggestions?
