About

Chances are, you either know someone or you are someone with too much stuff.

Maybe your garage has shelves stuffed to overflowing with tools, camping gear, tubs of extra clothes, you name it. Or maybe your mom or your sister has a collection of tchotchkes that long ago overflowed the curio cabinet and has spread like a bad weed around the house. Maybe your uncle still has the shoes he wore to his prom in 1968, and has added another three or four dozen pairs to his collection since then. But at what point does this overabundance of stuff become abnormal? Are the people in these examples hoarders?

The popularity of television shows like Hoarding: Buried Alive and Hoarders means that, even if you don't personally know anyone with these tendencies, there is a good chance you have seen people suffering with this problem in great detail.

The purpose of this blog is to provide education and resources for hoarders, people who fear they might be hoarders, the family and friends of hoarders and those who are just curious about this debilitating disorder.

Please know that whatever your connection may be to hoarding, there are resources out there available to help in whatever way you may need. This is a blog that truly understands that all that stuff you have can be so much more than just junk.

The tabs at the top of the page contain links to all sorts of information and resources to help someone who is dealing with Hoarding Disorder, either personally or because of a friend or loved one.
