I've been re-watching hoarders episodes the past few days. I can't fathom that people allow themselves to get to that point.
I also don't understand why they bother helping these people. The second they started stonewalling and refused to throw stuff away I'd say frick it and leave.

Because it's basically a mental illness?

Can you imagine the smell in some of these houses?
I used to live next door to one. You could smell the cat piss by just walking outside.

I watched an episode last night about a woman in Denham Springs who hoards animals. It was nuts.
Also, why are the bathrooms always so filthy. I could understand the clutter, but having a disgusting bathroom

Something that has happened with the tv shows on hoarding is that family members have found they are not alone. So many have lived in isolation because they couldn't or were forbidden to bring friends home to play.
There are some forums out there where family members exchange horror stories and also talk about support groups.
As one of the cleaners said, "We're all just five bad decisions from hoarding."
I find that watching Hoarders makes me want to clean out closets and cabinets.

My ex-wife in residence was a hoarder for years. We had 100+ cases (not boxes, cases) of Christmas lights that she had bought on sale after Christmas.
Oddly, the hoarding stopped one day and now she is a "lets get rid of it person."
I had a garage "sale" where I hauled stuff (almost all new) out to the front yard and put a sign "you haul it off, you can have it."

Aren’t bathrooms usually the toughest rooms to clean in a house?

I had a client whose oldest daughter was one....she also had numerous mental issues as well. It was ridiculous, she never threw anything away....anything. She had like 10 years worth of Times Picayune's- chronological order in stacks up to the ceiling. Plastic grocery bags everywhere in nice little bundles, 4 cats......1 dead for ....a long time under some fallen debris. It was bad.

They did have a guy a few episodes back who had a 20,000 sqft building full of arcade games(all functional). He had no family, and the place was very well organized, like a museum. I'm not sure why they had him on there

My wife's parents are hoarders. We had been trying to get them to clean up for years and even offered to clean their house for them to no avail. They'd always get pissed when we brought up the topic.
Then the Flood of 2016 hit and did the whole family a favor.

Many....clothes were her big thing, but she never used her washing machine. She was a big girl and about 50 when I dealt with her father who was in his late 70's. Panties, bras, blouses, shoes, socks, sweaters....lots of rain jackets.....she did keep current on her water bill, electric bill and cable......weird, weird shite

A lot of people start hoarding when they get elderly, especially ones that grew up during the depression. It seems the women are the worst. I guess they kind of revert back to childhood and think about how little they had.
