All I know is when Hoarders is on (5:00 pm) is my cleaning time LOL. I can't watch this show without rubbing something down

I have hoarders in my family and I am super paranoid that I am going to turn into that. Thank goodness none of them hoard animals, but it is still sad to watch when they refuse to get help. It comes from a severe depravation background and the intense fear of going without again. Add depression, anxiety, and denial on top. It seems to run down the female side of the family tree and gets worse as they get older. I'm hoping extra education, better support structures in my life, and regular decluttering will save me from that fate. It is a horrible and isolating way to live.
