As to myself, sometimes my depressiom makes me buy things that I dont need, then once I realized it's suffocating me even more, I'll get rid of them. Then later on, feel empty again. It's a cycle. It's like I'm buying things so that I can get rid of them and feel that I accomplished something. Whereas with people with OCD it seems they have a purpose, things can easily distract them and focus on those. In contrast of me that as days go by, it's getting more and more difficult for me to focus. I need to rest for a long time before I can go back and face my life, work etc.

The thing is, the clutter reaches a point where it's beyond you to clear up/clean so you stop seeing it, as a form of self protection.

To help someone, that person has to acknowledge the problem and want a solution. And sometimes that does not happen. My father has never been particularly concerned with cleanliness, he is now 80, increasingly rapidly descending into senile dementia, a widower (and his wife was not exactly the queen of clean either, they were both indifferent and oblivious on that subject), and simply does not see nor care about keeping his house reasonably clean. Last summer I spent 7 hours cleaning his kitchen, throwing away moldy food, scrubbing his hot water kettle, his cooking range, his dish draining rack, washing the floor, cleaning the rubbish bin. I found a 10 cms rim of fly eggs waiting to hatch inside that bin, along with a nice crop of maggots. And his answer was to attack me and accuse me of throwing organic matter in the bin because he "recycles everything and never throws food in the bin, it goes to compost" (meaning he keeps leftover scraps of food in a dish on the counter, raising its own crop of bugs, until he can take them to his compost bin in the garden of our family home, 15 kms away from where he lives). So my 2 tea bags were supposedly responsible for an insect infestation sufficient to provide a science lab with enough specimen for a year... And by the way, he absolutely did not notice that everything was suddenly and magically clean in his kitchen... My sister and I try our best to help him, but no matter what we say, he simply does not care, and is even prone to angry outbursts when confronted with the filth he lives in. So whenever we go see him, we do what we can to clean up, simply because eating food coming out of his fridge and cooked in his pots and pans gives us the creeps, but we know it's a losing battle. And an exhausting one, when we try to take care of someone who has given up, does not care and does not want to change his ways. And since we are "just his daughters", our opinion does not count, but worse, he is now past caring what others may think or say.

It was delightful to see Adam fixing the spaces at that home, he gave it a soul and a purpose. Not only that he fixed the lady’s hair. He is amazing!!

The symbiotic relationship between the cleaner and the home owners is just what they both need... If anyone has OCD and is bored, I have a whole house that needs cleaning. You're welcome in advance.

All of them are mentally ill, just at opposite ends of the spectrum. The germaphobes are a prisoner to their cleaning rituals for fear of contamination and yet none of the hoarders have become seriously ill despite living in unsanitary conditions. All of it is a manifestation of extreme anxiety. There's a happy medium to be found.

Frank was such a gentleman while being very embarrassed and told he was disgusting hahaha

I have been inside so many houses like this in my old job. The way folks lived always shocked me. One lady had a pile of opened mail and junk mail, four feet high in her living room. It was a fire hazard and we got it sorted out. The house wasn't dirty, just cluttered. Some houses, you wiped your feet on the way out. I'm not joking

Cheyza's suit is snazzy, loved Linda's attitude to getting messy from the spraying. Adam is a charming young man, Helen's house looks gorgeous, her son seems a lovely man and it's nice to know he's been able to see his childhood home looking so much better. The underpass looks brilliant, don't know the cost of the specialist anti-graffiti paint but think it could be a good investment for councils and communities in some public spaces. I love seeing artistic graffiti, especially when done well, but when it is just tags and mess it's just an unpleasant eyesore.

I love seeing the 2 extremes come together and the compassion each have for the other. They are 2 sides to the same coin. I tend towards minimalism and clutter and dirt make me feel unwell. I had a friend who had hoarding tendencies, and I just thought she was lazy but I can see it was mental health-related and that she simply didn't see her dirt and clutter as an issue.

I would love to meet these amazing people. 🥰 Changing people's lives in this way is so hart warming. ❤️🤗

Frank is such a lovely man and couldn’t have had a lovelier lady helping him

I seriously get the feeling that Adam and Helen might have actually become friends and I really want that question to be answered! Really sweet giving her a make over as well! Helen ought to embrace her skin as well! I'm not saying cake her in make up, but get some natural skincare going on. She's already gone from looking 60 to about 50, but she could get away with mid 40's honestly. The subway kind of frustrates me cuz the floor didn't look clean at the end. I'd have done more for it.

The woman who cleaned Frank's house did it so well she even washed his dishes instead of just keeping them just like that. 👍

OCD is not j́ust someone who is extremely clean. It’s a mental disorder that makes people do these things like clean or flip the light switch 7 times because their mind tricks them that something bad will happen if they don’t. These people feel like they lose control when they don’t do these compulsions. So yeah I understand that touching their face is unhygienic but it’s for them more about control and everything in the right place. I hope you understand x
