I would love to see one of the organizer types stop asking "May I throw this out?" while holding up a broken half of a wizzled up dead pet and just start shoving crap onto the truck while the hoarder completely loses their poo poo and then later is forced to return to a clean house that demonstrates how insane they had become. I have sympathy for many disorders-- but not this one, especially after the cat episode.

Her sister then throws the rock and the hoarder lady says she can get out because "SHE HAD PLANS FOR THAT ROCK!". After all is said and done the therapist tells her she can let go of the rock now and she still says no and that she's still mad at everyone. She literally cared more about a rock than her sister or her daughters.

Exactly what I mean, Nessa. So insane and such stunning levels of crazy, huh? Unreal, the depth of the lunacy that these people feel. It seems like the ones with kids would at least see that their kid/s represent the actual danger of what they're doing--they may lose custody, lose all contact, etc, and *still* they're all "But I NEED this lovely broken frying pan! WHY WON'T YOU UNDERSTAND" while the depressed offspring have to stand there and listen to the crazy. I HAD PLANS FOR THAT ROCK!

That lady actually did lose custody of her daughter. Her older daughter essentially had to be a parent to the younger daughter. It was really sad.  Also really sad was an episode where the daughter said she tried to report her mom to CPS when she was 15 and CPS turned her away, saying that she'll be 18 soon and so long as she has a roof over her head and is being fed regularly, she should be drat grateful. It didn't really matter that there was human feces on the floor. While everyone else ran out of the house vomiting, the poor daughter just said, "Yup, this is the smell of my childhood."

That's what happens off camera when hoarders who get a deadline to clear the mess or it will be done by the authority don't meet the deadline. Turns out that isn't a great way to deal with this mental illness, because forced clearings are often followed by death. Turning a serious illness into a fatal illness isn't really a public health win.

I hired pro organizers to help me clear out my parents' house after mom died and my father went into care. It wasn't hoarders bad, but it was close--just a lot of stuff with my father declining from Alzheimers. My mother had been dead for nearly three years but her office still looked like she was going to come home any minute. I was about ready to set the whole thing on fire. They said they don't do real hoarders houses because the "one fell swoop" approach always, always, causes a lot of pain and inevitably rebounds back into hoarding. Those people need a psychiatrist and therapists involved with a slower, more consensual approach. Even so, the organizers said I was the easiest client they'd had since starting because I'd already put coloured tape on the things I cared about (photo albums, train collection, certain bookshelves, my brother's entire autistic domain) and always yelled "INTO THE PIT" when they asked about stuff. We put a dumpster in the driveway; I played VHS-tape toss. The clang of something hitting the bin was such a happy sound. It did give me a bit of insight into hoarder mentality. At certain points, it feels like you've lost control and are just in free-fall, with things marching out of your life faster than you can consider their importance. If you keep it, you can decide later, but if it gets binned it's gone for good. Of course, "deciding later," is a slippery slope of it's own. e: Now, someone explain or point me to cat-goo because I'm curious and willing to live with regrets.

Hoarder lady wanted to cremate her 100 dead cats but she couldn't afford it so instead she stored them in her fridge and freezer. Some of them decomposed into goo. The end.

errol _flynn posted:Exactly what I mean, Nessa. So insane and such stunning levels of crazy, huh? That's the trick, though. Your child or your spouse can freely choose to reject you. A rock or a broken frying pan can't. At the end of the day you can't control what other people do or feel and they may not love you anymore, but all the stuff you have that you've tied your feelings to is completely under your power.

If you're looking for a hoarders show that tries not to traumatise the people involved there's a BBC show called Hoarder Next Door and a large part of it is the therapist who they film each week spends a lot of time finding out and even explaining to the audience and the person(s) how they got to be in that situation and giving them appropriate therapy. There is a bit of the "lets get this poo poo cleaned" but generally the cleaning crew do stop when the hoarder asks them to or looks too distressed to continue. I watch because I'm an ex-hoarder myself and I know full well the symptoms of "but I neeeed this!" and "It's too much now, I give up" that end up with a house teetering on the brink of collapsing into a black hole. ... at least I didn't have poo poo or anything that stank in my mess.. pretty sure there weren't any dead animals either. Just clothes and a lot of paper, boxes, containers, more containers, jars, containers, clothes, toys and more containers. They were clean containers too. I washed them. I didn't have anything to put IN them but I had a loving metric tonne of the fuckers.

My justification for all my crap is that I already bought it once, and if I throw it away I'll probably just buy it again someday. If I know I have a side room with a dozen shelves all stacked with something close enough to what I'm lusting for in a store aisle, I can tell myself that buying another one would be stupid. I may have a lot of poo poo gathering dust, but I've reached a point where most of what I waant seems unnecessary, even to me. I'm never throwing away that one unopened tub of green onion dip that I bought in 2008, though. That's officially a low effort science experiment at this point.

I recall one of the therapists on the show saying, "deciding to throw out these things would be a personal admission that she'll never get around to taking care of all of it. She's in denial of her own mortality, hiding behind a wall of trash."
