Love it.
I have always fluctuated between amassing stuff and purging it. But in recent years, I've developed something akin to hoarding--total slovenliness, leading to chaos (and, consequently, CHAOS).
I keep trying to get a handle on it, with only modest success. It is overwhelming to get it cleaned up. My therapist and I have been trying to figure it out for a long while. Probably a reflection of self-loathing and sense of futility. I don't know.
It's not exactly hoarding, but it has some similar features and outcomes.
I think hoarding is more common than we know, because people are good at hiding it.
