  • Hoarding Cleaning For Winter
    By: Mark Etinger | - Hoarding is hard to categorize. It was not included in the DSM until quite recently, and although it is associated with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, it is not clearly defined. The holidays and the cold winter months may be a particularly trying time for hoarders and their families, since this is the season in which it is very easy to accumulate junk. Cold weather generally encourages people to stay indoors, which may also encourage depression and hoarding tendencies.

  • Junk Removal Service For Packrats
    By: Mark Etinger | - Although there is a distinct difference between being a pack rat and being a hoarder, if you are the former, you will nonetheless probably need to hire a junk removal service at some point.

  • The Convenience Of Junk Removal Service
    By: Mark Etinger | - Everyone has a bunch of stuff they want to get rid of. The longer you stay in one place the more stuff you accumulate. And why not? "Stuff" is fun to have and we all want stuff. And beyond that, it seems like we always want to have more fun. For many people it's hard to break free from that and for hoarders, it's almost impossible. A friend of mine once had a roommate who was a hoarder and when she moved out, it took some time to get rid of the belongings she decided to leave behind. Thankfully, ...

  • Saving Money And Owning Stuff
    By: Mark Etinger | - I, like most Americans, love two things above all else. They are obvious once you hear them. In fact I bet you have already thought of them yourself, and if you haven't it is likely the result of your web soaked brain not being able to stay locked into this article for the duration of those first few sentences. Those things I love above everything else the universe has to offer? Saving money and owning stuff.

  • Reasons To Go For Self Storage Of Odds And Ends
    By: Lawrence White | - Nowadays, space is a valuable commodity in both homes and offices. And yet, we live in a society that encourages buying more and more things from the small objects of art to the large furniture pieces. Such a consumerist attitude is attributed mostly to the desire to stay on top of the trends, hold on to the good old days, and even the need to accumulate things as a security blanket of sorts.

    By: Mark Etinger | - I have an uncle who worked in a supermarket. Through the years he spent there he picked up many large format banners and elaborate store displays. He has cardboard cut-outs of Mr. T and Elvira from promotions for cereal and chips in the 80's. He has a humungous large format banner for the arrival of Crystal Clear Pepsi.

Money off coupons, business cards, lovely samples of quality paper products - anything that looks like it might be of use in the next 15 years finds a home in my office.

  • Obsessive Food Hoarding Help "€" More Than Just Clutter
    By: Maria | -
    Hoarding of food is a common type of obsessive-compulsive behavior. As with other obsessive-compulsive disorders, food hoarding can begin as a consequence of anxiety.

Some hoarders feel a sense of grief when they try to give away any of their possessions. Such worries start to appear due to an overpowering feeling that the hoarder has to be ready for any circumstan ...
