Well, to anyone else I would call myself something nicer than a hoarder (eg 'squirrel'). It seems a trivial thing, both to get stressed about and to deal with (why cant I just throw it away)? But I manage to make it a constant drag to myself- loads of 'shoulds' and no action. Apart from needing several days warning before any visitors so I can compact it all into my bedroom (and try to maintain a route to my bed from the door!)
Its mainly paper, plus some clothes and household things. Most are hard to chuck because they are interesting (and I have a hopeless memory) or useful (or potentially useful??) I limit what I buy or order, but still end up with masses of stuff.
Has anyone else any ideas on how to deal with this?
