    Re: Difference between hoarding & collecting

    If you still have a functioning kitchen and bathroom and you don't have to navigate over and between piles of stuff to get from point a to point b in your residence, you're a collector.
    If not...

    Hey, I only used the bathroom for storage for a couple of days, during a reorganization I was doing awhile back.



    And, as you can see, I posted a guard to watch out for termites.

    Re: The thin line between hoarding and collecting

    The difference is all in the eye of the beholder. While I consider myself a collector, my wife would totally put me in the category of a hoarder.

    Re: The thin line between hoarding and collecting

    I was probably a level 2 hoarder at my worst, albeit all my appliances still worked, and I still could navigate around the house, but after getting married I had to put everything aside …as for the collecting/hoarding analogy there is no real difference. One has an organized mess, the other has a disorganized mess. And yes I still have alot of baseball cards wrappers from 1988 fleer

    LOL! I love it. We have two guards, who would chew on my memorabilia if they could.
