Am I a Hoarder?
I live in a huge mess. Organized mess, but still massive. I very much want to throw everything out and begin anew but I create sentimental value. I have precise, clean, and orderly images in my mind of how I want this place to look; yet I fail to execute my task. I begin by throwing everything on the 25 year old carpet, the full size bed that's been vacant for over a year, and on the dresser that needs some TLC. "YES!" I exclaim as if accomplishing a major task: an empty closet. Anger, then tears form and suddenly I'm sobbing as I see the mess I've made. Flashbacks to my image of my perfect place as I sort through the mess and separate the bad, the possible donations, and definite keeps. Reality kicks me in my shin and again I sob because the more I try to make sense of my mess, the more repulsive sight I create. Am I a Hoarder?
