Hoarder Refuses to Change | Hoarders

1 in 20 people have a problem with hoarding - this extreme compulsion to stockpile items or not throw things away can have a severe impact on your wellbeing.
Our dedicated team are here to dig people out from being trapped in their own homes.
In Wallasey, Nigel’s 3 bedroomed flat is over-flowing with clutter. It's got so bad it’s seriously affecting his health. Like many hoarders, Nigel’s issues stem from past emotional trauma but when he calls out for help will he struggle to let go of his precious collection? He receives a visit from fellow hoarder Janice, who makes him see his hoard is totally out of control.

This is so sad. He must be so lonely. God help this man. Heartbreaking.

There are so many homeless seniors people who need clothes. Some are very, very low income, can't afford better coats, sweaters, purses etc. Maybe they could join a craft groups that do sewing, crocheting. Some the shopping is loneliness. By meeting people could become friends and call each other sometimes. Help others learn how to learn their skills.

Thank you, Nigel for your bravery and inspiration to those of us similar to you all over the world! It’s super tough especially when you have multiple hobbies I understand same here. However, I have recently learned that there is a difference between having ADD with OCD opposed to having a diagnosis of ““ hoarding disorder, please look into that because that’s what your house looks like to me. Looks like ADD with OCD. Thank you so much for sharing!

I have ADHD and have trouble with hoarding. I’ve also got tonnes of hobbies. I find it really hard to organise things and can never find anything so I end up buying multiples of items. ☺️

I mean one could argue hoarding is a type of ocd.

So good to see Nigel’s place looking wonderful. He’s very talented and now he can really enjoy creating.

Loved the psychologist and that term undigested grief

as a crafter myself, I understand the desire to have a lt of supplies for different crafts. it is difficult. the supplies, esp fabrics, are only released once, so the FOMO feeling is strong.

[@alanbirkner1958]

My mom hoarded papers, trash, clothing, fabric, yarn, and more. I do lots of crafts. I don't buy much because I know I'll only do a few things in a week, and I can buy more. Plus, colors and styles change over time. Tina, Al's wife

Very unfortunate to give lazy, unclean people a "name" for their "condition". It's nothing but laziness, and uncleanliness. Look at his toilet at the beginning of the video. What does a dirty toilet have to do with "hoarding"?

[@infinityentity]

Uncleanliness, lack of self care and other "lazy" behavior is a common symptom of mental illness. It's not by choice, their brain is misfiring so it's easy to fall behind on chores and struggle to keep a clean home.

[@user-sz2iz8yh3i]

The overwhelm starts to take over, plus depression. Most people when being "lazy" are actually overwhelmed with emotions or pure fear.

[@Vidya740]

@@user-sz2iz8yh3i Very unconvincing excuses. I don't believe that's the way depression works. I've had depression before and I couldn't do anything at all. I was emotionally, and consequently physically paralyzed. He's able to sew, go to the supermarket, feed his cat, etc. If he can do all these things he can also take up a brush and clean his toilet. Some people are lazy and hate housework. But it doesn't have to be unpleasant. You can just dedicate 15 minutes each day to clean something, or some part of the house. When the time comes, you put on your favorite music, and you start cleaning. At the end of the 15 minutes, you stop.
