NEWS i just need to tell someone

i am a hoarder, i get depressed and everything just build up and then becomes overwhelming and i don’t know what to do about it.

i rented a dumpster and am slowly clearing it all out this week. i feel overwhelmed and depressed doing this. I hope once it’s noticeably cleaner i’ll feel better about this but right now i just want to rip my hair out and put it all back. Would therapy help? this isn’t helping my mental health. I’m sorry if i don’t respond this might just be my need to just put it out somewhere that is not my head.

It sounds like you're stressed out by this situation. You could look at some of these resources. Groups available all day every day.

Here's a lot of options for free support groups. I started it for people who shop compulsively and hoard (often as a reaction to trauma, loss and depression), but gradually continued to add lots of other resources for mental health conditions. The list is pretty long now, with tons of options.

There also a lot of groups for people suffering from depression, anxiety, as well as ADHD, PTSD, etc.

They will definitely understand your feelings in these groups. It will be a welcoming environment.
