One of my pals has turned into 'the hoarder next door'
You literally can't get in his flat for clutter
It's an issue - to the degree he doesn't know where to start / how to sort
I have offered to take time off work, go in armed with bin bags and bottom the place out
He won't have it though
I accept the position is much deeper, (it is effectively a mental illness at this point), but I do wish he'd let me help |

"I’d like an organiser to come in and sort out my storage.
I’m fed up of having emotional attachments to tops and dresses I bought years ago!
"
I'll do yours if you'll do mine, I have exactly the same problem  |

"This would be heaven. They could start with the garden
Definitely up for doing the gardening.
As long as you don’t mind me in bikini and wellies 🤣
I'm sure it's a sight to behold 😂"
Once seen, never forgotten. Not enough eye bleach to sort out resulting trauma.   |

I think the worry is that someone else will throw something away they think is important. |

I get that from an admin perspective, but a lot of the things are just unopened boxes of stuff bought from amazon, temu etc - multipacks of crisps, chocolate, drinks etc, literally unopened, just tossed into a corner or on the floor
Then the bags of clothes, many still in their unopened bags
The mountains of unopened letters, I could put together for him to go through, but I don't think he wants to do that - that would mean action and accepting responsibility
To me, he has shut down - adulting he just can't cope with
As I said, earlier - it's a mental health issue and his GP is aware - despite the denial - but, as with many cases in this area, things move at a glacial pace
I just think helping to tidy up, make things manageable, giving him some floor space and living space back might, just might, help to bring a chink of light |
