I only got this problem when I became bipolar. I look at what I have hoarded and I think My God look at the mess my mind is in. My psychiatrist and psychotherapist are aware of this problem, and I am on a medication for it to no avail. Other than the medication, we never seem able to really get down and address the issue.
I am considering practicing self-hypnosis to see if maybe I can change my thought pattern. Otherwise I am feeling pretty helpless and frustrated.
I want to get beyond this and live a healthy lifestyle. No groups have been suggested to me or offered. I feel out in left field all alone. Are there any hoarders in this company, and what are they doing to deal with it?
Yes it can be. I know someone who has ocd and goes to a support group and they had a specific meeting about this. For ocd, besides medication and talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy can be very helpful as well especially for issues such as hoarding objects.
