Did anyone watch the Oprah show yesterday and today about hoarding, part 1 and 2?
When they put all that stuff into the warehouse to sell, I could not believe my eyes, I still can't!

Believe it. I have known two people with that condition. One is being treated for depression. I think part of hoarding relates to not having energy enough to clean up and throw stuff out. Another part is the feeling of control or small pleasure in shopping. At any rate, it is a real sickness. Worse, this lady gets even more depressed sitting around looking at all that junk. So sad.
