I am a hoarder and it's stressing me out

Maybe at least pack it all up in boxes and store the boxes in a closet or corner of your house, so at least you have space to move around

 

Try going through your stuff and maybe set-up an experiation date system for the clutter. For example, if you know you've had something for three years but have never used it, then make three years the expiration date. Everything that is not three years old, keep. If the hoarding is really bad, then I would probably seek out professional mental help since some type of truama could be the source of the behavoir.

Oh, well, if you live on a ship then you're going to be living in tight quarters to begin with, so I don't know if you would be considered a hoarder. Most ships, due to size limitations, require crew to be minamlist to begin with.

 

I’m the opposite. My apartment is practically empty. I am a minimalist and hate partaking in consumerism. I save like crazy just so I can have Fuck you money and feel comfort in knowing I can leave my job if shit hits the fan and I can chill without working for several months. It’s the only reason I save. I don’t save for any material items. I just don’t care for it…

I never grew an attachment to any “sentimental” things and would care less if everything I owned right now just disappeared excluding my car of course. Everything else I can replace fairly quick and easy.

 

I understand you

I agree. If there is very little space, the amount of stuff can seem bigger than what really it is

Anyway, you can be interested in reading the book Buried in Treasures, but I don't remember the authors right now

Update: Authors: David Tolin, Randy O. Frost, Gail Steketee, second edition 2013

 

I forgot to mention it's a CBT-based book intended for helping people with hoarding problems

 

Look up the KonMarie method
