Declutter the Hoarded Basement | Mindset of Hoarding Disorder

[@fianorian]

I noticed that, by the fact that some bins were already labelled, some contents must already have been gone through. Still, this time around, you managed to declutter more. This is my experience of decluttering. Each time I go through stuff I manage to let go of something else. I think it's about letting decisions marinade a little.

If you have lots of vases that you can't sell, you can donate them to your local florist. They are happy to take them for floral arrangements and you can help a small business. ❤️

[@caramoonlynn]

My daughter and I worked on the basement while watching your video and we created a little sitting area down there. Prayers!

[@croccatcher]

Another fantastic job, happy Easter to you all ➕

[@BarbaraThorndyke]

I'm so excited for the eventual yard sale! It's going to be epic.

[@ahoardersheart]

Yessssss!! Praying for sunny Saturdays in late April & early May ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@joyindrelie6715]

It might help to have your urine checked out by your urologist--I found out that I have hypercalcuria, meaning that I have too much calcium in my urine and calcium binds with sodium to make stones. This is helpful because I learned I need to drink a lot of water and lower sodium intake to reduce kidney stone production. Prayers, girly!

[@ahoardersheart]

Yesssss! I just did the 24 hour urine test on Wednesday to find out what’s going on! I do know that they are calcium oxalate stones so I wonder if I have what you have too ❤️🙏🏼❤️ The urologist did tell me to drink more water and watch my sodium intake at the last appointment!

[@tashainjena]

@@ahoardersheart Yes! I was told that my kind of kidney stones, if I drank lemonade made with real lemon juice it would help. I had no idea there were different kinds of kidney stones.

[@sherrygantt2158]

@joyindrelie6715 .. I have been told I have the same. Too much calcium in my urine. I go next week for blood work and urine sample. the doctor has ordered a new set of tests this time.

[@dlcarbonneau3750]

Hubby just passed a stone today after two weeks, very good news because it can be analyzed for dietary adjustments. Very unpleasant experience.

[@sherrygantt2158]

@dlcarbonneau3750 so glad he was able to pass it. I know it is worse for men. prayers for no more kidney stones.

[@sevenjane1]

Sending Blessings and good wishes for your next procedure xxx

[@ChristianAnneSmith]

You inspire me so much to go slow. In the past when I have done any personal growth work on myself, I always push too hard and then have a backlash regression reaction. Slowly, I’m learning about this pattern and how being gentle, it’s a better way to make progress in the long run in rewiring your brain. Thank you so much for a role modeling what it looks like to be gentle and steady and to honor your own pace. Wishing you good health. You are a good healer.❤️

[@julieparham462]

Great work today! Your tossy tossy piles are always encouraging to see. Will feel good to have that yard sale and free up more space. Prayers for your procedure and recovery to go well! ❤

[@marinalodi6313]

It's great how you can look through sentimental bins! Some time ago you wouldn't even be able to open them!! Now it helps a lot to be able to declutter some stuff and lable, so when you come back again you have less work and less decision fatigue!!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much my friend, that means a lot to me ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@lyzalyza7]

This is how I do my sentimental bins. I just “go through them” with no pressure to get rid of anything. It’s fun to look at the things that I love. And sometimes I surprise myself and find things that I’m not very attached to (anymore).

[@yoonkiminpleasetakecare8641]

I hope you get better soon honey, my arrhythmia came back after 6 years and im so sad about it pray for me too

[@kathyconklin4549]

Oh bless your heart! Thank you for sharing about your kidney stones. It gives those of us that are believers the privilege of lifting you up in prayer. You’ve been through so much and yet you still give back to others. Thank you for your ministry 💖

[@vernalgoodman9023]

Have they checked your parathyroid. I had one taken out because it quit working and pulled calcium from my bones into the blood stream. After it was removed I quit having kidney stones

[@crystalsdance]

OK, for the first time ever, I'm giving you props for a hoard! Those METAL TRANSFORMERS, which must certainly be originals, are the bomb! I'd let the boys play with them and enjoy them now! They deserve to see the light if day after you've lovingly kept them for so long! I'm going you a good 'ol YOU GO GIRL for those ... if you give them to the boys! ;)❤

Hi Ms. Heart! I've had 14 kidney stones. I've had 2 lithotripsies. I want to make sure you know you can only have 2 in your LIFETIME bc it can cause kidney damage. Don't worry, you can still have the lazer done, though. Good luck!

You got thru the water damaged area pretty fast! Are you gonna go back to the middle part of the basement after? I'm excited to see the middle get finished. Take it easy though!! It can wait till your all better.❤

I had lithotripsy done and it was no big deal at all. Tiny bits were caught in the strainer. Drink lots of water 🙏 Happy Easter!

[@josephdaly2015]

Oh Miss Heart ❤️ I’m sorry to hear you have another kidney stone. It’s a small relief that you won’t have a big surgery again. Yourself and Miss Pepper 🐈 did another fantastic job. Another huge pile leaving including a few pieces from the sentimental bins. Your decluttering muscles are a credit to you. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for Friday and wishing you a quick and speedy recovery after. Mary, Joes wife 🙇‍♀️👏💪👍🤞🙏💐🐈🦄

[@leslieblonke4326]

The 1980s transformers toys are highly collectible and can be worth quite a bit of money! My husband would be jealous!

[@sherrygantt2158]

I am so sorry you are dealing with kidney stones. I went through the same surgery . My kidney stone was large. But, it was soft. So, they went in through my back. Then took air and broke it up. I had the tube in my back too. I have no idea how many I have passed. Now they're 3 that embedded in the wall of my kidney. I will pray for you. And, ask God to be with you. To keep them kidney stones away. Keep your Faith. God is the Great Physician. Take care of yourself.

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh wow, you are the first person to hear had the same surgery as me! I will be praying for you and your health too ❤️🙏🏼❤️ I never heard of embedded kidney stones, can they remove them? I hope they are not too big! And yes, God is the great physician so we will keep in faith and take action where we can to keep our kidneys healthy ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@sherrygantt2158]

@ahoardersheart the ones that are embedded. the urologist is not going to try and remove them. they are to close to the kidney wall. he does not think they are anything to worry with at this time. my surgery was to be a one day outpatient. but, I went septis on the table. it turned into 5 days in ICU and 3 days in regular room. since it was a soft stone. it had grew bacteria. when they blasted it. It caused infection to spread throughout my body. that was in 2011. A new nurse had just joined the staff in that recovery room. she knew right from the start what was happening. God put her there. He was not ready for me yet. So, they did get me back. I am not trying to scare you. Please don't think I am. I am just sharing how Amazing God is. I sometimes have the symptoms of a kidney stone. But, so far, I have not had any more.

[@michellewanner3921]

Yes calcium oxalate stone makers really need to watch their diets! Check with your doc.

[@brooker9370]

I’m sorry you have to go through another procedure- and so soon! Sending healing thoughts your way. And yes, I am slowly starting to learn that my self worth wasn’t in the objects. It was in me all along. I am learning that by listening to my heart with what feels ready to let go off and also by trying to extend my social circle, it has helped me to start to declutter the most problematic areas of my home. I am hoping by summer it will be even better. I want to honor my partner by not having added chaos and stress to our lives and I want to break free of this self inflicted prison of never feeling like I am enough (I believe thoughts like this have driven the hoard even further). Thanks for all that you do. I am getting better and better each week and I’m grateful every time I see one of your videos. And I love seeing Miss Pepper being an awesome helper too 😊

[@ahoardersheart]

So beautifully written, thank you so much for sharing that with us ❤️🙏🏼❤️

Glad Miss Pepper is still enjoying decluttering with you.

[@001-x1b]

If I can give some tips for the future as a fellow kidney stone sufferer. Please get checked for gout. It seems for some reason these two illnesses go hand in hand often. Also the food we consume a lot of time processed foods and especially chocolate and even some healthy groceries like broccoli are all stone forming foods. Because there is different type of chemical components in stones this will give a clue to what types of foods to avoid. Also lemon water and lots of water in general is more important than anything. It's not a cure but definitely something to think about in terms of maintainig an alkaline environment and making it very hard for new stones to form due to constant flushing of concrements. I have quite an experience with stones every since I was 14.

[@colettenewell4634]

So sorry to hear that you have another stone. Fortunately recovery should be much faster with the less invasive procedure. Take care. Maybe after you recover you could do a basement tour showing where you are in your declutter journey for that room and where you would like to be. Maybe after a yard sale.

Hey late daignosed autistic person here... I just want you to consider maybe that you not only have adhd. could it possibly be AuDHD? I just throw this in bc i watch yur chanell a lot and now a good time and i thought often to myself: mhm... sounds familiar. Looks familiar... i dont want to insult or anything. But as you self probably know a diagnosis is oftentimes also a blessing bc when you know you know. right? also i think its not a bad thing to have autism. ok. i hope you aint mad or something. maybe its not the case, i dont know. but i thought sometimes its the hint which keeps us going. good luck for your procedure too.

[@beverleyholmes9792]

Have you considered seeing a therapist about your hoarding. A professional may be able to help you to getting rid of all the childhood toys you have kept for so long. Holding on to so much of your childhood when it was so unpleasant can not be helping you in your healing from hoarding. My hope and my prayer is that one day you will be free of the demons that keep you from feeling that it is important to keep so much stuff. Good luck!
