Urinating in Plastic Bottles | Hoarders - Buried Alive in My Bedroom S1 Ep1 | Only Human

Flies gather around tea bags, open cat food pouches are scattered everywhere and a stack of dirty paper plates are piled up with one plate covered in maggots...
But this isn’t a rubbish dump - it’s 47-year-old hoarder Sally-Ann’s litter-infested kitchen, which she can no longer use because it's jam-packed with stuff she's been hoarding for the last seven years - and now she's forced to prepare sandwiches in her bed.
The 47-year-old is a self-confessed ‘rubbish hoarder’, and at one point the problem was so bad Sally-Ann’s bedroom was plagued with carpet bugs and her bathroom was unusable - which meant she had to resort to desperate measures.

Then they might need to put their cat in a cage so he or she doesn't panic and run around the inside of the car while they're driving and cause an accident.

[@MR-ns8mp]

Because the situation is usually assessed with all deparments involved and if the animals are well enough and not deemed in imminent danger there can be the decision to not remove the animals completely as that could cause further upset and the situation could get dramatically worse. It's also often the case that depending on the age or other situations with the animal and availability of space at shelters, there can be a high chance of it being euthanised. The animals that are allowed to remain can help in encouraging people in their treatment to improve their situation. The decision to leave animals in their care could well come after a lot of group consideration.

It's not just the stuff, it's the feelings behind why you hoard. "The Hiarder Next Door" actually provides therapy before people go jn to help clean. This way the hoarder is psychologically prepared for the clear out. Otherwise, it's just like ripping a bandaid off a wound.

The irony with all hoarders, is that they spend countless amounts of money (and hours of their lives) accumulating material possessions, but they leave this world empty-handed. Death eventually will pay us all a visit, and a six-foot plot (or a hot oven, for the budget-minded) awaits us all. The obsession with getting an abundance of things to fill a house, will not benefit you when your time is up: it all gets sold, thrown in the trash, or donated to Goodwill/thrift stores.

[@jadiecakes3241]

Im sure it was in one of the foundation books "I will show you fear in a handful of dust". I've been working on my hoarding for years (has never been to this level thankfully) but that really resonated with me and I've never forgotten it. And now I often think about what will happen to my stuff when I die, and it does help to get rid of things, but the important things just give me anxiety thinking about it 😅 which is ridiculous cause its just stuff and the memories won't disappear if they go away.

I really like your humor :D but to address what you struggle with... Nothing of importance is gonna be in your vaccum cleaner. If you don't have idea what valuable things you have, you have too much and if you accidently suck it then it doesn't matter what it was cuz you didn't even know you had it or didn't care enough to remember :D. Have space for really important things and keep track at least by having written down what you have if you feel all of it is important. Then you'll see clearly what you have and you can prioritize what is useless or not in reality not just in your thoughts. After you have idea what you have you can ask yourself: do I have anything valuable that would fit in my vaccum cleaner? If answer is yes then make a place for it and I can assure you that you will never have to look in vaccum cleaner for anything :).

[@BecD1983]

Sally doesn’t

[@iekcajedof]

Dole?

[@Punkrockfan001]

Tax payers

[@Melleina]

There were plenty of hoarders who do work, but it's a brain problem; no fiscal.

[@christinesimpson6529]

I don't get how council flats don't have regular inspections

[@GeeEee75]

Yes, I know! How is it fair to the neighbours who have to live next door to these premises that are a pest-magnet.

[@anakatic5175]

With Saly its nothing but laziness

[@JustMe-bk3tm]

I think fey is going to make some serious progres

[@im093]

Sally isn't really a horder! She's just a lazy slob! Fey on the other hand is a horder and is actively taking the steps to get better and get control of her life and I admire her so much for it. ❤🙌

[@Mariemarie-uw7id]

Yep she is just lazy! Unbelievable people like this excist

[@gmatwotimes]

Maybe her parents never made her do anything so she still thinks she doesn’t have to. Lazy slob is right!!!!

[@dmm6341]

I have empathy for hoarders, but not Sally.. It seems like.she's not saving stuff...she's just too lazy to clean up. She's just using those ladies.

[@ramirogarcia1967]

Perhaps the best thing of this shows is that instead of laughing at the sufferers of this disorder, you care and worry for them, in other words it enhances our empathy for others. Our species needs that.

[@britneyshaw3433]

Wait.. she actually gets visitors that HAVE TEA .... IN THE HOUSE...wow.. just wooooooooooow

[@Chi-town1369]

I always watch hoarders and I have never seen that many dishes piled up like that

[@Koselill]

The thing with the newspaper guy. He's ofc entitled to enjoyment from his things, but when its a fire hazard that can take not only one life, but a whole neighborhood, then you have to say stop yknow. You can condemn a house for being a biohazard, but not a fire hazard?

[@muchtested]

Did you look at the glass he was using to drink from? His house may qualify as both.

[@tsn1948]

Lived with someone like this before and she really smelt so bad that i couldn't sleep at night, and actually i still do, but we helped her out so she got better now. I just hope she won't relapse. This type of people are tiring, emotionally and physically. I was the one who always had to do things like cleaning because even if i force her she'd just quit immediately. For anyone that are dealing with this or dealt with this, i hope you're doing well.

[@jacquelinegarvin4520]

I'm depressed too but I do the opposite I give away the old a replace it with new stuff. I clean up and use lots of sweet smelling disinfectant to lift my spirit. I couldn't imagine turning my house into the city dump that would make me feel worse.

[@sociologyaddict8689]

The kitty should never be in a crate. Baby deserves a clean, breathable environment with toys and comfortable bedding.

[@veerlemuller4516]

Im so proud of Fay(or Fey?) already! ✨

[@tmfromdenmark9158]

A cat in a cage ?😡😡😡 Never ever seen that before, now I can not feel sorry for her 😾

[@PapiyoneVineland]

I just want to hug that lady who has OCD. She’s doing so good! I have OCD too, so I get it. I wish I could just step into the screen and go help her. I’d earn her trust and do the ritual with her, that way she’d go twice as fast when throwing items.

[@fauxpas881]

A case for the rspca. Rescue the cat, please.

[@angelataylor4540]

Something has to be done for that poor cat he's stuck in the situation he didn't cause it 😢

[@doniaelboudali]

exactly my thought, when they've found her the first time, the cat should have been rehomed, it breaks my heart

[@TripImmigration]

It's terrifying. I was back to my mom's house and all the time I checked by the phone because always okay. When I was back I realized my mom is a hoarder and she couldn't control anymore. when I try to intervene she and my brother tried to punch me on the face and I was kick it out of the house after 26 hours fly. the next day I tried to contact the city hall and some psychologist however the situation it's not good for intervene because it's still not disturbing The neighbors. I flew back to my house in the middle of the pandemic and since that I don't have more contact with my family. Even though that's all years I was watching this series, I would say it's really difficult situation and they try to hurt you in all emotional levels. unfortunately I need to put the stone in my past because I can't see my mom dying in the main off this cluttering. I'm sorry but I can't

[@danipret2065]

I'm sorry you had to go through this. some people don't want the help. I don't understand it but I do have to fight to keep my house in order or I could easily be overwhelmed with material things

[@wioi]

Your mother tried to punch you in the face? Just leave her in her hoard to suffocate I would not bother with her. Sick to try punch her daughter

[@jennym7465]

What kind of mother tries to punch her daughter in the face.... OR let her son do it? Smh

[@BecD1983]

Hugs to Faye. Depression stinks.

[@jodrew1845]

These hoarding programs have me looking at my life in an extremely sobering way. If allowed, I could easily become one of those people, which is the last thing I want. UGH

[@minja7777]

Seriously the ladies cleaning her flat are a blessing!

[@michaelgauro]

Please take the cat away from her!!!

[@videoettaceo8900]

Rescue poor Custard!

[@quintzybogi]

I watch these to get motivated to clean

[@Amarantis]

Me too and it works everytime :)

[@reginafilangi]

same

[@LaWendeltreppe]

When I watch this, I feel my house is clean :))

[@vitanilange6926]

It helps a lot

[@itsLeVi309]

Lmao same 💀 I also watch supersize vs superskinny to get motivated to eat healthy and workout 🥴

[@jst5028]

That cat better be in the cage just during the interview. Otherwise that is torture.

[@Miss_ESL]

I think it's safer in there give the state of the place.

[@alexanderplatzberlin3940]

??? - The cat could not have urinated on the PC and soiled the whole place if he was in the cage for most of the time. Of course he is outside.

[@ilovemirandamuchsigga6029]

Rabbits are always in cage too?

[@FathinMuhammad]

@A Antonson My guinea pigs prefer cage over free range... I let them out, but they go back to their cage.

[@FathinMuhammad]

@A Antonson seems like you dont know much about guinea pigs🙄. Its ok, have a nice day.

[@MissSparks92]

The show helps me clean when I am so depressed and no motivation because I dont want to end up like this, so thanks for that.

[@sandrafinbar]

It's just laziness with Sally. They cleaned her place, but shes not going to do it. Poor wee cat.

[@nicholasschoonbeck6866]

Let me say, an an addict who's been sober for over 14 years, that yes, an addict CAN relapse because they remain an addict for life, but with a good program of sobriety we don't go back. That's the point.

[@desiertoscacti5388]

Sally's living conditions were really bad, both times she needed help. Her hoarding being trash, is the worst category one could suffer from, since it makes her whole house completely unsanitary for both her and her cat. Poor woman, I hope she finds peace of mind.

[@vickisullivan847]

"Poor woman"? She's been living free of charge her entire adult life! She certainly doesn't look like she's starving to death, so she manages to get her legs working just fine to get to her food.

[@deletedddddddddd]

i can hardly handle the smell of my cat's litter box when i clean it out... which is just one... cant imagine this womans home... the ammonia would be toxic..

[@ali5on]

This is not hoarding, this is laziness, and poor custard.

[@PreciousLifeStories]

exactly

[@wioi]

I agree

[@wioi]

She litteraly said it herself that she can't be bothered to do it at 2:48 not that she can't but she can't be bothered

[@ckb4723]

Currently watching this in my own self confined depression

[@HumanimalChannel]

Animal Welfare needs to rescue that poor cat. He doesn't want to live that way

[@wildadventures4173]

Sally's Lazy - she just wants people to clean her house, cause when they stopped coming, she didn't continue. and when she said "I Can't Be Bothered to throw things out" shows her true personality of laziness. Richard on the other hand is a true Hoarder.

[@EmmaJuliLo]

Poor cat!! 😿

[@diaryofseresha]

"Urinating in the bottles" wtffffff, lady get your flush fixed by plumber atleast take a dump in the flush instead of bottles :x grosssss, imagine if that leaked. Hoard whatever you want but there's no excuse for pissing in bottles

[@brittmanuel6740]

Did anyone rescue that poor cat?!?! That poor baby deserves to be set free and she should never be allowed to have animals again 😡
