In some ways I can understand the mind set what a hoarder goes through. I caught myself becoming a hoarder & one day a light bulb went off. I finally ask myself what the heck was I doing & it was my choice to hang onto things or let go. I finally started boxing up & donating lots of stuff. In my case, it was a mind set I put myself in & I realized what I was doing before it got as bad as most. Except for fabric that is. I'm still a fabric hoarder. LOL
