Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Daer @Emelia8 , I haven't forgotten you, I always send wishes to the universe for you, for your intense pain levels and your sleep especially. 💜

Omg @Rosemary4  I used to watch that I loved seeing the end and jus their mindset throughout. But then it would make me sick because it reminded me of ny parents and now I find I'm becoming a hoarder unintentionally and it's the OCD that keeps me from tackling it. It doesn't even make sense. But I love organizing I guess with all the moves it's actually traumatizing now. But it's amazing what you can find when it's viewable. You never use it otherwise if it's stashed away under rubble. I may be having a hoarder service come help but I worry what kind of houses they have been through with animal droppings and mold. I'm not even a level 1 hoarder it's jus everything's still how it was moving Day. My cupboards are empty. But there's no space to begin.

Sorry @Rosemary4  keeps logging me out. You are going through the exact same as me! I'm trying to tackle the clothes first, the laundry which takes me all day to do a load. And it's just where to put it as I tackle it all. I need to clean wardrobes so maybe I should jus do that 1st?

Yes @NatureLover omg I'm not the only one!! I can't tag for some reason hope you see this

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Omg at @former-member not sure if you're still on here or if that's your name. I do the same with compulsive buying due to lockdown panic buying. I've never had this issue but I do it with cleaning products and also so I can avoid going out so often because it makes me an anxious. There's so much I have nowhere to put it so just leave in it the bags then I look through and go ok I have more than enough so I tell myself at shops ok just buy 1 or none if I can get by that week. 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Yea I hear all this

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Yea @NatureLover  i hear all this about toilet paper and coffee. My coffee machine isn't clean so I don't use yet I have all these capsules that I end up throwing I don't know why I do this? It's covid anxiety. I find I'm improving now maybe coz lockdowns are over. It's been so stressful. I tried to tag you further up in another message but couldnt tag

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

@Shaz51 I do the fridge thing but not now that I moved out of my parents. Well I do check perished items I know I have heaps as I haven't checked. But it's not like I have to do it, so things I don't have to do I try not too as I hope it helps my brain with the things I can't help 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Sorry @Anastasia  to hear about your son and dad. It is beyond a joke, keep pushing them it's not right at all, even if they let in 1 family member at a time or can they wheel bed outside. I'm so sorry
