"House So Cluttered I Can't Eat or Wash" | Extreme Declutter | Britain's Biggest Hoarders E2 | Abode

[@kaysimperfectgarden.4043]

These programmes are vastly superior to their American equivalent which seem purely for entertainment and the "joy" of watching other people's mental health problems. Jasmine is so kind and empathetic, by the end of the programme you're feeling warmth and sympathy for the hoarders rather than the revulsion and disgust encouraged by the US programme. Well done."There but for the grace of God go I".

[@loriwilliams2167]

I agree totally. And Jasmine has such a soothing, calm voice. I've watched these videos over and over 🥰

[@lechat8533]

Jasmine is incredible. She`s such a warm, understanding, and empathetic person.

[@melissasturgis]

Not true and we have programs that's great.

[@El_TigreNegro]

How is this better? All they did was talk to the hoarders and move things around essentially. At least on Hoarders they actually get the homes emptied out, get the homes refurbished and sanitized, then pay for them to get the proper therapy done afterwards.

[@thetwitchywitchy]

because the US program IS entertainment, they know they can’t help people in 3 days but they’re also unwilling to pay professionals long enough to do what these shows do because there’s little return for them, people watch the show as it is now so they won’t go out of their way to help them more than they already do

Olive Taylor died last year aged 93. A few years ago while living in a hostel she got a malicious Christmas card saying nobody cared for her! What a sad life. Nobody forced her to live like that but the loss of her fiance and mental health played a huge part. She donated thousands of pounds to Brighton charities. I hope she's at peace now.

Wonder what became of wee Toby? Rest peacefully, lovely Olive!!

[@t.y.5565]

How cruel! Rest in peace Olive.

My Mom Died at 64 after caring for her for 10 years, we were best friends, then 1 year later later to the day, my Sister died at 41, she's always been there for me! Then 6 months later my Brother at 43 he always made everything funny. I was so lost! First I lost 75lbs and was skin and bones, then I slept all-day, then my husband took me shopping and I didn't stop. It helped me with my depression big time!! I started hoarding and couldn't stop shopping. Then my boys moved us to a different city with them and I gave EVERYTHING away to my family and friends and nieces and nephews. I understand the hoarding. Sept it let me go, were it doesn't let some people go. I was lucky!

[@ddd1dorin396]

It is a HUGE difference when you give your things to friends, relatives, than just throw them away like garbage! Easier doable. I am a hoarder, i know.

[@cherylanderson6265]

Olive was such a lovely selfless old lady. She did not deserve to live the way She did. I could see that She woyld not get rid of much at all, thar her problems were so severe that She would be unable to overcome them. And Toby he certainly kept her company!! A lovely cat he was!

[@lechat8533]

Jasmine is so wonderful. She literally moves me to tears. Her capability of understanding people and approaching them with such respect is incredible.

[@CorpseExPoesure]

Seeing Janette genuinely smile while seeing her daughter in the recording studio had me in tears. Wow.

[@peterhopkins7505]

Hoarding is more common than anyone realises. It starts so innocently, and is an escape from reality. You will notice most hoarders are living alone, no one to criticise and ballance their lives. Hoarders need help, they need a friend.

[@patim5953]

Olive is so precious. Never married after her beloved fiance died. Her love for him had to be so tremendous.

[@rubyjackson2689]

Just like my grandparents, My nana was a jeohva wittnes she never went to her husbands funeral, me and my sister had day off school,she a hoarder if she bought iron, she save old plug ,think it comfort thing like a nest, my mam piles stuff her side bedroom sadly lost dad last year, he would sneak bags out and take to work or tip it affects everyone, my auntie has moved back to that house she grew up in,yet she let no-one in so police had to she basically living in the attic, she basically washing in a bowl water she given up left abusive marriage and she safe now, mam tak3s her meals, long story:(

[@RCKMSCKM]

Olive is such a lovely woman I really would love to see a follow up on her. Her hoard seemed so insurmountable. She was really attached to so many things.

[@eggytoast]

She apparently died last year aged 93

[@gemmaspence5449]

I desp want to hug Janet… i can see in her eyes and hear in her voice how sore she is but she can’t let it out… i really hope she gets well, and the family get the help together to get well

[@gardenjoy5223]

The way the hoarding woman from Nigeria speaks... Sending shivers down my spine. I literally stopped watching this episode there and then. Can't lay the finger on it exactly, what upsets me so much. Is it the extreme learned helplessness?

[@julisod]

you should've watched the part where she finally managed to get rid of all of the suitcases full of stuff

[@elliemaszuchin6267]

R.I.P Olive Taylor

[@Gingers4u1]

As you see that Olive loves giving to Charities. I don't know if they did or not, suggest to her that giving the things to Charities would help soo many people. That is something I would have done.

[@kiokokoffin]

olive, rest in peace 🖤 her story was so moving

[@gemmaspence5449]

My ❤ is hurting for Janet, you can hear in her voice and see in her eyes how far she has gone down. I have a feeling if you were to look into her past her issue/s will all have come from there. Same with olive. When you grow up with nothing, then you are able to have IMPORTANT things that you should have had grown up such as heat (blankets, food etc) then you start to buy them to excess. My ❤ goes out to both of them and Janets kids are they are doing their very best to help their mother who they ovs love with everything they have.

[@thetwitchywitchy]

If my mother looked at and treated me the way Vicky’s mom did to her everyday, I’d have massive emotional trauma. Her mom constantly looks at her like she doesn’t want her to be there, that’s horrible… I understand she’s struggling but as someone who’s had sustained major depression for years, I feel like I can say she needs medication. If your depression is that serious that you’re starting to openly treat family like you don’t even see them, you need more serious treatment than just talking with a counselor.

[@ForeverAlansGirl]

what I find interesting is that most of these hoarders live in council houses, so why is 1 person allowed to remainin a 3 or 4 bedroom house?? I live in Canada's version of council house & if a family member leaves, they move you to a smaller unit. And the landlord hasn't entered/inspected the units in 20 YEARS??!! It's so odd..

[@puddindancer]

In the UK most council houses come with secure tenancies which basically means it's effectively your house for life if you want it to be and they only evict in certain circumstances. They aren't just houses, they're homes so moving people to smaller units after family members move out really wouldn't go down very well over here. Also, it isn't really a viable option as we don't have anywhere else people can go anyway 😂

[@GeeEee75]

​@puddindancer I see where you are coming from with regards to the house being a home, but I agree that it is odd that there seems to be no systematic inspection of what remains council property. A house that is hoarded to that extent surely attracts pests and, as such, is a nuisance to all the neighbours, so I'm surprised that the council allows the situation to continue unabated.

[@solidstate9451]

Jasmine has the patience of a saint. I would have given up long since...

[@ddd1dorin396]

No. Just being a good daughter

[@ebbypetes]

​@@ddd1dorin396no she's very patient. Being a good daughter to a horrible parent is a sacrifice and really not her responsibility.

[@DemstarAus]

​@@ddd1dorin396 what does that mean? People aren't patient. Only good daughters are patient? What an odd thing to say.

[@jersey6809]

I am just wondering why there is no Social workers, GP's or local community checking on elderly - lonely people wellbeing - that is tragic 😥☹ It could be spotted earlier and help should be offered with action plan - feel so sorry for them

[@Rat_Queen86]

The NHS is beyond underfunded. Same with social services. It’s not dealt with until it gets to this level, or worse

[@missourimomofthree]

when her daughter sang for her mom, Victoria came alive!😊

[@Temptation666]

Jasmine seem to have given up on life, herself and her daughter. I hope she got better but that depression seemed very serious. I suffer from depression but i think Jasmine is way further gone than i was when it was worst

[@jennayoung99]

You mean Janet? Jasmine is the host.

[@RinaMaltseva-fo4dp]

I don’t know why is it so embarrassing watching people who are suffering from hoarding( Olive is a fantastic woman, i was really worried about her all the video long, i wish she had a nice comfortable sunny home, she deserved it.

[@Temptation666]

R I P Olive October 2018

[@carolflowergirl5267]

Hoarding is a mental illness and I believe starts with a trigger and a very poor diet, which causes depression. It’s is a multiple step program to recovery. Most hoarders exist on canned, or boxed, or processes fast food and sugary artificial drinks. Their body needs to be cleaned out as well as their homes. I know this first hand. God bless this woman for trying to help these poor souls. 🙏🏻

[@Silkroads733]

They need Jesus

[@MiracleFound]

They are all coping with loss in an unhealthy way. They are trying to full their empty spaces with stuff. Olive losing her fiance couldn't move on. She is so sweet and would have been a wonderful wife and mother instead of a hoarder. That plaque proves just how she she transferred her attention and energy.

[@DominionFenrir]

I'm very concerned about the fate of Toby the cat.

[@Joymadeda26]

Ohh wow, how does it get to this my God

[@ddd1dorin396]

If you want to help a hoarder: 1. Show respect to his belongings, dont reffer like they are "junk", "garbage", etc. 2. Dont ask the hoarder to throw away the belongings, just find a way to DONATE them. Tell them other people could happily use the things. That way is more easy for the hoarder to discard. I am a hoarder, i know what im talking

[@GeeEee75]

Would you believe someone who told you that empty food packaging could be donated for use by someone else? Yes some of it could be recycled but not all, and none of it could be reused. I would have thought that what is most important is to address the underlying psychological issues that are causing a person to not be able to let go of items that are of no use to themselves or anyone else.

[@DSFXRENDER]

[@carolnicholas2362]

How do people afford to keep buying so much stuff!!??

[@svietka202]

out of all the ppl this maker of this show helped before, Olive is truly one of the few really deserve the help and i m sad she didnt continue helping her. I would love to know what happened

[@samanthasky1746]

I am surprised the council let there house get like this but they don't do checks do they like private rental so sad to see

[@GeeEee75]

Yes me too. Such a hoard would attract pests and would impact on the surrounding properties, so surely the council has a responsibility to not allow the situation to continue.

[@SuzieHQ72]

Looks like Janet’s meds have sucked the life out of her. Is it a case of over medicated?

[@theFijian]

That girl has a great voice, shame the song was so awful! 😅

[@mollycanfield1210]

Janet needs more mental health support., diff. med/addl med, more therapy, exercise. Clinical depression is a killer and needs serious treatment.

Why don't you just get on with your own life Jasmine, because you should know by now, having your mother who's a compulsive hoarder that these hoarders will continue to hoard and re hoard for the rest of their lives. There is no cure, so you won't change them no matter how kind you are.

How can you feel sorry for these hoarders???These are just materialistic selfish people.

[@SableCatDog]

If you think that then you don't understand hoarding at all.

[@HannahDaws]

What an uneducated comment. If you can't tell that people who hoard have deep-rooted issues then I suggest you take some time to learn about various mental health conditions so you can be more understanding.

[@GeeEee75]

How is keeping hold of empty packaging materialistic? How is it selfish to make your own home so uncomfortable?
