16. The cart is used for shopping in the mall
SearsActivewear, a Reddit user, shares their hoarding nightmare account, which includes references to their mother-in-law. She wrote, “My mother-in-law has two rooms filled with shit boxes that no one has touched in ten years – from ceiling to floor. The basement is also filled. There’s a cart down there, for God’s sake. She refuses to dispose of something because she “may need it someday.” It’s hard to imagine someone riding an actual cart downstairs, but it happens. Also, why would you need a coach in your basement for a while to come? It seems more complicated than it should be.
These are the questions that the average person would ask, but we must remember, when someone is dealing with a problem of storage, they are dealing with mental health problems. It can be challenging to remain calm and not be disappointed, but certain things seem to be common sense that they can believe in. It’s like keeping trash in their living space – most people don’t want to live like that. Everyone must be calm and patient when trying to help people with hoarding problems, and you can always contact your GP for additional resources.
