^^^such a situation would be akin to a giant *RESET* button that has been pressed, one basically loses everything one worked for until that point. there was a noted composer named conrad salinger who lost everything in the los angeles fires of 1961, and decided to end it all, he couldn't live with such a large loss.

I'm terrified of my hoarding impulses, which I have quite strongly. I've made a rule for myself that I can't bring something new into the house unless I throw something out of a similar size. But I don't always follow my rule.

I collect plushies, and try to sell as many of them as I buy. But I'm not doing so well at the moment, I need to get selling more.

Virtual collecting helps, I try to play games where I can collect virtually. I need to get more control of myself, have a huge clean out and stop buying stuff. Those hoarding shows give me panic attacks....literally, I can't watch them.

When I get a new interest, I can very easily start hoarding supplies associated with it. Hoarding runs in my family, several members have this problem.

if on my daily walks, i find some left-behind/dropped change on the ground, or a pen/pencil, or perhaps an article of forgotten clothing, or a piece of lumber or whatnot, i will pick it up and walk with it around my walking course, then take it home and add it to my collection.

I prefer to build hordes instead of hoards.
That's why I roll twenty deep an'e'raebody packin' swords. :nerdy:

Yikes. I hope you find hand sanitizer so those objects don't infect you!
