I went through a purge 6 months ago. It was hard. I had a good friend help me by taking away trash, furniture, donations, stuff to people I knew. I let go of things that I thought were 'important'. And now I laugh at myself because I've bare floors, space to jump around, and way less stress especially when tidying up...I watch these shows each time before I do housework; and it gets me going to cull even more right down to what I really need not what I want. My goal was 200 garbage bags full and I did it, no regrets.

She had four different "piles". Save, sell, donate and trash. When they're talking about the amount of waste taken from the homes, they're talking about everything combined that left. I've noticed in the more recent episodes, they calculate the trash and donate separate now. I know this particular episode had a ton of great, unopened stuff donated or sold. Also as a side note: the organizers have attempted to do yard sales before, and every time the hoarder refuses to sell or let anything go ☹️

Maintain clean home and keep clearing debt, while being mindful of the environment. See? One at a time is totally doable. it doesn't require you to go through everything with a fine-toothed comb.

On "the Hoarder Next Door" the psychotherapist Stelios Kiosses says that all hoarding centers around a "loss" and you must get to that loss and bring it out, or the person will not be able to heal and regain his/her life again. He does it in six weeks of therapy.

Google says: A person is deemed to be incompetent when they no longer display the ability to make decisions that are in their best interests. While you cannot have someone declared incompetent because they make decisions you do not agree with, a person can be declared incompetent if they appear to be living in their own reality.

I like a really neat house. I always have. A couple of things I live by... 1) My motto is "less is more." 2) I think of getting rid of things in the house as buying more space in my house. More space feels as if I have more square footage in my home. 3) If an item means a lot to me but I have no room for it: I take a picture and I keep an album of those things for the memories. 4) If I see something I really really really like, I think about where I'm going to put it. If there is no sensible place in my home to put it... I tell myself I can really like it without owning it.

So I was not feeling well in my mind or heart. But now I look back and am thankful for their help. I also keep my little apartment clean so no one will have to clean up a mess after me!😉😁

Her face, her lack of expression, her difficulty in moving around, her total lack of attention to what anybody says, her indifference to feelings and human relationships show a severe mental condition and it is appalling that her family still has not taken the necessary steps to address the issue, even if she does not agree. And it is strange also the fact that she has access to all that money to waste with no control. There are legal steps a family can take to stop all this and help her. Like for example have her declared unfit to plead. That way she could be helped.
