I wish the US hoarders was like this. It’s so much more lighthearted, there’s no drama, there’s no judgement, and it feels more personal. Since the cleaning team is so small it forces the hoarder to face their hoard and be more involved in the clean up which is critical for their improvement and recovery.

Everytime I see one of these episodes I RUN to see what needs to be cleaned in my house, I rearranged my bedroom and cleaned two of my bathrooms and cleaned my entire fridge ( my apartment is NO WHERES like these as a matter of fact it’s fairly clean but I clean anyways, I’m a woman who has fibromyalgia and I’m in chronic pain everyday but I try my best to do what I can even if I’m struggling but after these videos I push myself to make my apartment just a bit better. It tires me out and I get fatigued but I can’t help it. Now after watching THIS one I’m actually thinking of cleaning a room that I have Xmas things in so I can just put it all in boxes.

Sorry about the fibromyalgia, that truly sucks. What you are doing though, sounds great, Sandra. You are doing little bits often and because of that you'll stay on top of things. Keep up the good work :) By the way: it has the same effect on me: it helps me take matters into my own hands.

I do love these British hoarder shows for their general positivity, but I don't think I've actually seen a single home get what I'd call de-cluttered yet. I'd go completely mad if I had to stay in Allison's home for more than a day. There is still stuff everywhere. She does seem to care for the cats properly so I will commend her for that. The other lady's house is still crazy cluttered too, even in the rooms that were cleared. Her gorgeous white cat cannot speak English to communicate but he was definitely sending her a message by pooing behind the couch.
@CathyS_Bx8 ай бұрын
On the other hand, the US shows featuring successful interventions feature homes that are brought down to the bare bones. You can easily imagine how the hoarder will start strewing things around again. Here, the people are allowed to retain and enjoy a cache of personal treasures. Their homes aren't stripped of their identity or their passions.

Not based on that at all whatsoever. Hoarders are perfectly capable of making choices and decisions. They just so often don't realise they can and that the world won't end when they do. It's a symptom of something else. Deal with the 'something else' in conjunction with the hoarding, similar to dealing with the causation behind alcohol or drug addiction, and the hoarding can be conquered.

Same principle as hanging out for chocolate cake? Only fawn over that masterpiece of ganache work that serves 30 at the specialist baker. Instead shout yourself a cup of coffee and a slice of the one they're cutting up for customers. When you finished you will laugh to yourself about how that would have been so way over the top and a waste of money. And the guilt when you get it home...

Then I recycled the paper and tossed the rest.They wouldn’t know what to do with hundreds of drawings and tiny painted ceramics when they have their own homes and will just toss them.

In the craft room, ONE person could have went in there and just sorted like things together for an hour and put it in those empty totes. That would have been such an improvement. But, I'm so happy for both of these women that they ended feeling encouraged and that their lives are improved. The female team of organizers, I could watch them all day!

I begfan using onlin shopping to cope. I found great pleasure to n acquiring thins. Walking in my house you would n ever think I was a hoarder. Cloth s and shoe were stacked in every closet. I denied being a hoarder. However, when my family encouraged me to downsize I was as taken aback by how much I really had. So I am not a hoarder who’s house stinks and is unsanitary&dangerous.
