    All I can think of is how I am going to hell. Why is it not healthy when the bible tells us to be fearful of the one who can destroy the soul in hell?

    Jesus was talking in the context of being afraid of man who can de5tr0y your body ..He's saying we shouldn't focus of man's power as it is only fleeting and even if we lose our physical body , If we stay with Christ , we will live eternally . He's saying instead of worrying and being afraid and focusing on worldly things and people . Focus on God who who can de5tr0y both body and soul and give life to both body and soul . So , Basically , He's implying focus on God and be brave in Him .. do not worry about whatever w3ap0n the world intends to d3tr0y you but on Him who is more powerful than all . do not internalise only the last part but see it in the light of the earlier verse also .. it will lead to trust in God and not worry My friend , the medicine to scrupulosity is humility and trust . Humility as in understanding that you and I will never be perfect (defo not in this world ) but God extends His grace (unmerited favor) to transform us and all we have to do is to be humble and trust in Him to lead us and when He leads , follow and when we fall , He will raise us up we just have to be willing and He will . He is the God who loves , who cares for His people not waiting to condemn us to h3ll but loves us and wants us to live in Him . If you desire Him , that itself is sign that Holy Spirit is working in You . He is our Father that wishes no one to perish but to have eternal life that is why he d3ad for us .

    My mother had many of the behaviors of a horder. The wood pile kept for years ..with No project or sale EVER in mind. The wood was salt treated and has Very Few uses because of this. Why are we keeping this pile? I remember my Mother coming in the house one evening saying Your father slapped me, over a dissagreement regarding the wood. I feel the two were headed for a divorce but the Lung Cancer took my dad first. The wood pile was taking away sometime after my Dad;s death

    Dr. Grayson just has a special way of talking about OCD. I enjoy the moments when he tells me that I won't be free of this horrible thing and find myself starting to cry immediately. He is addressing the cores things that us OCD sufferers are really struggling with.

    Every person and situation of hoarding is different. The excess of objects of an absolutely useless nature and other aspects might be spun in a light that offers insight, etc. I had a parent that was a hoarder and the feature that I could never understand, even as a young person, was the blind willingness to live in filth. That seems to be the part that separates 'too much stuff' from hoarding, the unrelenting garbage and general filthiness. I tried to help him later in his life but quickly realized it was impossible. He went into a care facility and was reduced to nearly nothing in a matter of months. It took a half dozen plus wonderful family members to empty and clean his apartment, it was a landlords nightmare recovered in a nearly miraculous way. I loved him but was never able to really understand. I was a new arrival in his immediate life and was genuinely impressed at how much his family had helped him and shown him love in action through the years. There's an exaggeration of 'normal', and then there is behavior that is just unique to the disorder. I do understand being puzzled by the behavior but loving the person though.

    Please stop making excuses for hoarders. No one makes excuses for wife beaters or crack addicts claiming their childhood caused their bad behavior so just learn to love them as they are, be patient and learn to live with it. That is no different than enabling an alcoholic by purchasing alcohol for them. Hoarders destroy the lives of their partners and children. Just like drug addicts, wife beaters, and alcoholics. But no Doctor on earth is telling others to coddle those people. HOARDERS ARE ABUSERS. They destroy dreams, hopes, property and lives. We who live with them are the victims!!!!!! Stop enabling them under the guise of compassion. Where is your compassion for us?

    ❤ She's given me hope. There's so much pain, and so much work to do. We were made to know God, serve, God, and love God, according to the Catechism of The Catholic Church. And also to love our neighbor as ourself. I'm sad her mom had her receive communion without understanding the faith.

    My grandma lived through both great depression and Kansas Dust Bowl at a young age and developed a consistent hoarding desire. She couldn't throw anything away, especially food. My dad, aunts, and uncles had to clean out her fridge because she just kept holding onto years old expired food. I was raised by her quite a bit, as both my parents worked and left me in her care. I have some hoarding tendencies but mine manifests in plants of all things. I am the type that has plants just...everywhere; like organized chaos. I have an intense need to garden, propagate, and grow plants.

    My son and his wife have become hoarders. They have 2 rooms with one third of the rooms full of clothes - the piles are getting bigger and I don't know how to help. I take clothes and bricabrac to a church that helps refugees and the homeless, and I have often asked my son and daughter in law to fill some garbage bags of unwanted clothes - they say yes but I have never received anything from them. Their house is full of toys, rubbish (empty boxes) papers. The kitchen benches are full of groceries, empty tins and boxes. My husband and I are in despair for them.
