People Actually Live Like This?! | Hoarders Full Episode | Filth 

A traumatic event can also lead to the extreme opposite--excessive cleaning.

That’s great, although I truly hope that you don’t ever plan on having any company/guests, because you would have to take turns eating or drinking. To each is own, however in my opinion, “there are some things that you don’t need much of, but there’s also some things that you should have plenty of, like for instance the essentials of course!! 😊

Same, but I also struggle with throwing stuff away of which I know can be of use to someone else. I have set limits for myself on how much I am allowed to have/keep and have dedicated one space in my house that is allowed to be messy. And since the rest of the house is cleared and clean, my brain keeps recognizing that as being the norm and that one messy room aggravates me from time to time and I clean it up.

I started realizing my mom hoarded a little. After she died I'm trying to get rid of some of it. But I noticed I'm having a hard time getting rid of some of her stuff now

Same here, but my son and his wife didn’t “catch” my dislike of clutter. They are messy, I have learned to over look it when I go over and sigh with relief when I come back home.

Same. When my mom passed it took over a year to remove all of her things from a 2 bedroom 2 bath home... and that was the 4th time Id dehoarded her things. And I couldnt get rid of everything even through 4 different declutters. 😢 Im stuck on photos! I have soo many and I hate having pictures of people on the walls. So IDK what to even do with them!

​@deniseroe5891 My youngest son is a definite hoarder. My older son is more like me and gets rid of things in batches. But my youngest will literally hoard trash and broken things and Im concerned and bonkers about it.

LOLLL

Me #slay

You might prefer the show where the OCD cleaners help the hoarders tidy up

😅​​@@PortraitoftheArtistasanOldDog8

😊I don't have such a room, either.

@@Solutions3000 my 'dining room' seems to have a lot of Thomas trains but I tidy on...one poor guy had to swim down his hall about 2 feet from the ceiling...

I couldn't live in a home filled with trash and will continue to live a minimal life; I hate clutter.

I love watching these, and they really motivate me to declutter. I watch them while I clean up too

Yes, it’s very motivating!! 😊

I love to watch British TV also!! Especially crime shows!!

Are you actually from Greece? Or a Greek in the diaspora?

She has an eye for detail!

We agree - beautiful story

You do know that this episode is quite old....at least ten years, probably more like 12 to 13 years old...and those people (hoarders) are very likely dead by now?

@@jb6712no way!😮

politics, House of Lords and House of Commons

Many are going to charity.

The first thing is to admit you have a problem! It’s really hard. But you have to do it and be ruthless!, and the funny thing is, it’s really emotionally uplifting! You won’t actually miss those things!

It is NOT new, not at all. This one is at least ten years old.

@@jb6712 i mean new to the channel lol

In my opinion it mainly is laziness and having too much money to spend. It is a shame because most of these hoarders basically have beautiful homes. I mean....people are living on the streets .

Well there’s plenty of people who have lots of stuff, however they have clean and neat homes too. Not everyone is a minimalist, although there’s also a huge difference between having a lot of stuff and then just being lazy and a downright pig”!!

Pay for You Tube Premium. Sorted.

Well, I suppose it would help you keep up with the cleaning? I'm at least level 1. When I get depressed or just busy the dishes will sit til I run out of silver. Then the need to clean steps in and usually extends well beyond the silver. Hmmm. I suppose same would apply to clothes and linens. Now minimalism is making sense to me!

I know right, that’s what you call minimalist, having 1 fork, 1 knife, 1 spoon and 1 plate. 😅 God forbid if you have company, you’d have to take turns eating your meal 😂

Right now there is 2 of us… 7 every other weekend… I have 7 plates silverware cups etc… if someone should actually want to come with a houseful… good luck…. And there’s always paper plates…. We have a small kitchen and every space is precious real estate… I am not a minimalist but I don’t do Knick-knacks either ….

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh….. 😮

Tart seems a bit harsh… maybe “a free spirit”? I’d love to hear her stories, too. 😊

You look at old ladies and think “old” but I’m from the swinging sixties and I had my fun back in the day

In response to my comment - I was not being mean or disparaging, quite the opposite. Hence, the smiley emojis. I am only a little younger than this lady is soooo, as the kids say, chill out.

They were probably, more so, responding to the word "tart". Tart is viewed as derogatory, as it refers to a woman who dresses or behaves in a way that suggests she wants to have sex with a lot of different people. I didn't think you meant anything bad, by how you phrased your post. I'd like to hear her story, as well. @@AngusHenry09

Dolls creep me out also😱🇦🇺🇦🇺💜

I have a short entry hall crammed full of family photos in beautiful unique frames that I enjoy shopping for. The rest of the house is all artwork - no people. I consider the frames in the front hall artwork also so it balances out the people photos if that makes sense? Works for me anyhow and whatever works for YOU is what's right!

​@@tinamarieb49 I have them in my utility room, lol. Same as you with the eclectic frames. Every inch of wall space is taken up. People love it and I don't feel guilty anymore with all the photos in boxes packed away.

He was also 100% understandable to me, which isn't always the case (am American).

I can be a hoarder but then the time always comes where I have to compulsively take stuff to the thrift store. My sentiment fades fast lol.

You really need to go back in and edit your comment....it's so sloppily written, one would think a seven year old wrote it!

Because hoarding is a compulsive disorder, OCD, and unfortunately 90% of these people will continue to hoard, and rehoard for the rest of their lives.

I’m a level one hoarder, and some family members love telling me I’m a hoarder, thinking I will disagree or even argue ( I think some want to) they are surprised when I agree- how strange that I would know anything about it 😂😮

@@gillianbrookwell1678 I had heard that this is almost impossible to cure. So sad. Thanks for replying.

@@cassandraknight8804 Strange indeed!🤣 It must b a constant battle. Hope you do well!

Partly because hoarders have a real problem with cleanliness, and their homes are often falling apart from the weight of their garbage and junk. Getting them to understand the difference between being a "collector" and a hoarder is the first step toward getting them to let go of trash and getting their house sort of livable. My parents were genuine collectors of antiques. Their house and belongings sold for good prices at the estate sale a year after their deaths because everything had been cared for. Hoarders, on the other hand, typically have no idea what they have anymore, and they pile trash on top of valuable things, with literal garbage piled on top of that. In their minds there is no difference between something truly worth keeping and something that's rotting and should have been thrown out decades ago.
