[quote=Anonymous]My husband is a hoarder and has actually taken back trash bags of items I'd brought to the curb, "to sort through". Which he's never done, and they sit in our basement, which is his hoarding place, full of his other junk, 99% of which is never used. The rare times he digs out a tool or old hard drive or empty pill bottle and actually uses it for something, of course, he's triumphant. But that's not worth filling up an entire basement for. None of it is sorted. You have to climb over stuff and rotate your body like a contortionist to get to the other end of the basement. All this to say: Hire the junk haulers. Hoarding is a mental illness that's nearly impossible to treat. It goes hand in hand with certain profiles of combined autism/ADHD (which my husband has). [/quote]
