| I love that show. It motivates me to clean and organize. I type that and then look around....ugh, looks like I need to watch it some more to get organized! In the fall/late summer I was on a little organizing cleaning spree and even had GOT JUNK? come and haul some stuff away. It was a great feeling. The lady from GOT JUNK? was actually on one of the episodes. She said it was so much worse than what the t.v. episode was able to show. She said she cried the whole way home. Thankfully, that particular episode had a happy ending. They were shown in a follow up program where the son had taken over where the show left off and totally cleaned everything up. It was amazing. (It was in Kokomo, IN.)

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | I've never seen one of the hoarding shows, but they are available on the Netflix Watch Instantly. I may check one out tonite.

I'm glad that you feel the show has helped you. Sometimes I think those shows encourage voyeurism, and I feel vaguely guilty about watching them. It's nice to know that that it's affecting viewers positively as well.

I do watch the animal and clutter Hoarders shows. I get so upset seeing the poor animals that are suffering and there are some that have passed. I don't understand people. Maybe there needs to be stricter laws and harsher consequences for these people. My dh teases me because we have 2 Labs, 2 Morkies and now a Yorkie. I love my dogs but this is my limit I swear! The Labs are 6 1/2 and almost 5. The Morkies are 3 1/2 and the Yorkie will be 6 months old on the 30th. I love my Labs but there's just something special about these little ones.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I've ended up catching this show a few times. Usually I just watch it for 10-15 mins or so. The other night, I caught the whole thing. It was pretty heartbreaking. The woman who hoarded was actually a psychologist, but she couldn't step outside herself and see her own symptoms. She was prob desensitized over time. There were bugs everywhere....worst I've seen when I've caught parts of this show. It seems like so many times, the hoarding is triggered by a major loss or a death. I remember hearing that hoarding is one of the toughest things to treat/heal...but I can't remember why they said that. Maybe bc the disorder doesn't have as many treatment options (ie, like there are many treatment options for substances)...? The one I caught a couple weeks ago (about 15mins of it) actually showed....omg this is horrible...3 dead cats who had been trapped in some of the piles of stuff. It appears they got trapped and starved there. That was too much for me to see .

| I've watched several episodes and had to give them up because I would have bad dreams of mice running everywhere. I think because the last episode I watched was about a lady who had tons of mice in her house literally hundreds. My DH noticed every time I would watch an episode the next day I would start throwing stuff away and cleaning out cabinets. Maybe I have hoarderphobia? Is there a such thing? My heart breaks for each and everyone of them.

I kind of know what you mean, my heart breaks for them, but I'm also repulsed by them and I don't want to be anything like them, so it motivates me to get rid of stuff. I do think there ares some people who really have a problem with any clutter and throw away perfectly good things because they have no use for it today, and don't want a junk drawer even. For example I know someone who will throw out "cable connecters" because they don't need them today, and don't want them junking up the house.

| My teen-ager is obsessed with this show! I will admit that there is nothing like an episode of Hoarding to motivate me to clean out the garage; empty a closet, whatever. The animal hoarding shows are harder to watch. The people seem to start with good intentions but cannot admit when things swing wildly out of control. I feel SO SORRY for the children that have to live in this filth exhibted by every kind of hoarder depicted.

I catch myself saving a lot of stuff. When I start seeing piles of clutter I panic and start throwing things away. Now the only things I can't throw away are clothes. They have to be torn or unwashable. I can easily donate my kids clothes but not mine

| BBC, at least it used to be when I watched it. Used to be on at 5:00 every week day.

| Oh, my gosh! I watched part of one of those shows and went and cleaned out my Utility Porch and hall closet! Makes you not want to have ANY clutter. This old lady in the show I watched part of was sitting in a room surrounded by stacks of trash and junk! She could not walk through the room unimpeded but had to climb over stuff! It was sickening and sad but I couldn't stand to watch any more.
