Inside the mind of a mild hoarder.

Just this one.

No, this one.

No, this one.

I can’t throw this out.

I might need it later.

What if I throw it out and I need it tomorrow?

What will I do then?

I can’t get rid of this.

Or this.

Or this.

Too much.

Too many.

I can’t deal with this.

I’m running out of room.

Here.

There.

Everywhere.

There’s no space left.

Why?

Why can’t I just stop?

Boxes upon boxes upon boxes.

I can’t handle this.

Pictures.

Papers.

Medications.

I’m not taking this pill tonight.

But I might need it for another time.

This one I can use.

Benzodiazepines.

So I’ll keep it.

“Medication hoarding is never a good sign”

No.

No.

No.

Piles of “junk”.

“Stuff”.

But it’s mine.

Reviews

[Slim Pikkens]

Interesting perspective about the mind of a hoarder. Emphasizing the need to save things to later, in case the need ever arises to use it. There are psychological reasons they do what they do, though even they may not understand why. "But it's mine." Nicely done.
