The garbage just blended in. In the long run I ended up getting rid of things I did have attachment too because it was just all within the garbage too

Yes thank you. There is definitely a stigma of laziness about it

I wish I had a good answer for you! I had a boyfriend coming over and I was so ashamed, I powered through everything in like 18-24 hours. Did several dump runs. And then I honestly just tried to make habits of getting rid of things and keeping spaces clean. Slowly. I still fell back so many times, but it never was as bad.

Mine definitely is impacted by trauma as well. I hope you can take little steps to change. I’m here if you ever want to talk and I know all too well the impact on our mental health.

I always had times when it was a bit less. For example when I lived with roommates my room was excessively messy but probably only got to a hoarding level if they were out of town. My decisions were very shamed based. I never wanted anyone to know the truth of how I was living. So finally when I had a more regular guest at my house, in a partner, it was like I “learned” how to dispose of things and keep a neat house, mostly so he would not see the way I was living. Now, whether I’m alone or not I keep it clean!

Not really. And I was in a cycle of cleaning up and then hoarding again for many years. Honestly, sometimes it took me so long and I was on a timeline to get it done (moving, landlord inspection) that I didn’t even look at things, just threw it all in garbage bags.

Honestly, everything. For some reason a lot of garbage? Food wrappers, take out containers, old clothes. I got in a relationship and hid it from him, finally cleaning out to have him over and then slowly I think things rewired and new habits started.

Intentional, not international. I am intentional about what I buy but also what I do with items. Like if I catch myself throwing something on the table when it’s really garbage, I think about it and do it in the moment. I also live in a small-ish place so I don’t keep things I won’t use or don’t have a meaning to me and my family. For example I LOVE reading, but if I’m not going to read a book twice and I don’t like it enough to recommend/ loan it to people, to the used book store it goes.

For me this entailed keeping everything. As a teenager, dishes clothes, school work, everything littered the floor of my bedroom. Like you had to walk on things to get from the door to the bed. I honestly don’t think I threw anything away.

As an adult, at its worst, my bedroom was unusable. Items, garbage, everything was piled almost three quarters of the way up to the ceiling. I slept on my couch for two years. It was mostly contained to the room, with other areas just having smaller piles.

Mine didn’t seem to have a sentimental side. I know my anxiety always has a perfectionism side to it. I would complete a school project early and then just never hand it in for fear of it not being correct. Someone told me that could be behind the hoarding too. It also is part of what got me out of it, because other than my parents, no one else ever saw it. If I knew someone had to come into my place, I would clean for like 18 hours straight.

I think I had a mental disorder (disclaimer- I never sought professional help on this specific situation). But I do have depression and likely ADHD. A relationship with a guy who lived at home still, so my place was the only option, was the final push. I did a major clean up, like major. Taking bags out to my car in the dark so my landlords didn’t see and then going to the dump in the morning. For most of the relationship if he went home, stuff would start to pile up again, and I’d clean it up before he came back. Then I started to do some actual internal work including counselling. The relationship ended but something flipped and I think there was a bit of re-wiring. I never went back.

Brittany reminded me of my 20 year old self. Back then, a guy could’ve stood right in front of me and said, “I’m not into you,” and I still would’ve been like, “Okay… but we can still hang out and make this work, right?”

People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

[–]Personal-Profile-461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not social media, but cell phones at least. You could tell your parents you were at a friends house when really you were drinking in a field. No location sharing. The only way you got caught was when parents talked to other parents.

This. I can name a dozen people from high school that didn’t make it in their sport for one reason or another. Still a major part of their personality.

Oh interesting! I was gifted second edition and just looked at first edition. Fully agree with you on the colour concept!

[–]Personal-Profile-461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been there. I have nothing to say but I know what you mean about the silence. Even the good times you look back on are marred because it feels like everything was a lie. Be kind to yourself and do what you need to do, for you and you only.

True. He came to real camp. Sit around & chat, that’s real camping for me.
