And of course there is a real risk that a person with #HoardingDisorder isn't going to be very open to getting rid of something that isn't needed now or ever. I note that the fickle variations in my own disabilities means that I have learned the hard way to think long and carefully about getting rid of something I have used previously to mitigate an issue that appears to have resolved! All too often, a week after getting rid of such an item, the disability-mitigation need returns, agh! And can you find the equivalent again, whether new or secondhand? Double-agh (aka NO!). 🙄😬😡 18/x #assessment #decluttering #retention #removal #disability #mitigation

I also want to note how thankful I am for the assistance of friends and family for some of the more time-intensive decluttering and reorganising that has been done beyond what the hoarding specialist and I can reasonably accomplish in any given session. Given literally ALL of the above in this long, meandering (but ultimately cogent, I promise!) story, it is a blessing beyond description that I can be laid flat-out from #disability issues and another person be able to make progress without my direct oversight. There is still much to do, but the specialist and I have been making steady progress throughout our time together, and those more intensive periods of help with knowlegable family and friends has improved some things beyond my wildest hopes. 🙂 19/x #assistance #support #HoardingDisorder #decluttering #disability #accessibility
