I work as a carer for the elderly and see hoarding often.
It can be an anxiety thing.I think you can know it as a
problem if it gives you panic attacks trying to get rid of
any of it.Perhaps you are overwhelmed?
The elderly ladies I see can't even throw old newspaper adds
away.....even if its appropriate add for a 20 year old.....
A lady I knew with OCD couldn't throw her TEA BAGS away...

Oh well something to think about. Could you throw
something non-essential and only replace it with an
essential item?

kind thoughts for you and your hubby....Jjulia
