Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. I watch the hoarding shows also and they’ve helped me understand more about how difficult it is for some people to get rid of items. I’m glad I live during a time when there’s more information about the different ways trauma affects us. Congrats on your pregnancy! 😊🐦
Not everyone with OCD has hoarding tendencies. I have severe, crippling OCD that affects several facets of my life but I'm a minimalist because AGAIN I have OCD and I cannot have too much or it'll drive me insane. If I can't count them, I can't keel them.
Thanks for being so real! I struggle with PTSD, flashbacks, depression and anxiety. I handle my physical possessions differently. I have certain eccentricities about organization and collecting. For example, I have an obscene yarn collection because I associate crocheting with peace and calm.
