This amazing turnaround has completely brought this room back to life! It’s always fantastic to see these success stories of spaces being reclaimed. The satisfaction of being able to use this room for its intended purpose after being unable to would be one of the best feelings.

Gardening is a fabulous way to connect with nature, giving you a sense of accomplishment, and to spend mindful time with yourself.

A word of caution, try not to allow your hobby to distract you entirely from your plans and endeavours inside your home.

Respite from clutter can give you a taste for space. Visiting friends or family, being outdoors, can soothe the chaos in your mind, which often reflects the chaos in your home. It’s important to remember that hoarding doesn’t define you as a person!

Online resources are a great way to connect with people and better understand the challenges of hoarding disorder. Our website, https://t.co/rpwRLZU5Ib has a members forum where you can find support and information from people who genuinely understand what you are going through.

Find your why. If you always plan to make space or complete projects or you feel ashamed of your home, you need to find your strongest reason for making a change.

Your “Why” is your best motivation and whenever you feel yourself slipping, connect with your “Why” to stay on track

A fantastic way to preserve possessions that have meaning to you is to create a time capsule. It's a fun way to cherish memories without cluttering your space.

You can achieve this by choosing a few meaningful items and sealing them in a box or container labelled with the date.

[Hoarding Support @HelpForHoarders]

Everyone can relate to keeping sentimental items but do you think there is a difference between keeping your child’s first pair of shoes, and keeping out of date coupons for a discounted packet of cat food?

What are the items you’ve kept which most people would throw away?

Did you know that hoarding disorder may have a genetic component? Studies have shown that individuals with a family history of hoarding disorder are more likely to develop the condition themselves, indicating a potential genetic predisposition.

Can you relate to this?

Hoarding is not just about the clutter; it's about the stories behind the items. Each possession holds significance to those affected.

Understanding the emotional attachments can shed light on the complexities of hoarding disorder and pave the way for support and healing.

This is a fantastic way to utilise space in a house that is small and doesn’t have an immediate purpose. This part of the house now has a lot more meaning for the owners in what would otherwise be an empty disused area!

Would you incorporate something like this into your home?

Hoarding disorder isn't just about hoarding things; it's about the emotional turmoil and distress that accompany it. Many individuals with hoarding disorder experience shame, anxiety, and depression due to their inability to discard possessions.

Some of the most commonly hoarded items are often books. eBooks are a fantastic way of building up your reading library without the need for lots of space to store all the books. Not only does this save space, but it also reduces the temptation to hoard physical copies
