I wonder if anyone has connected their obsessive compulsive side to hoarding?
I wasn't sure if where to place this discussion topic, but I saw some stuff on organization.
I just notice as I try to clear things, that mom has these attachments, and irrational desires to do things, but then it's her house.
Even I had trouble letting go. She had a blanket from WWII which the soldiers gave her in war-torn Europe. It has that brownish colour, and I feel it has connection to history which just bleeds my hear to let go of.
Sometimes I think I'm moving things around in circles, like bureaucrats move things from one corner of a desk to another, without anything getting done.
As we downsize, I don't want to stress mom, but have to make room for her to live more comfortably.
Somebody throw me a chill pill. It was a productive day, but mom's moods make my swings look like a drop in a glass of water. It did change my focus from other crises.
Maybe I've found a new coping strategy. If I stressed out, just find another stress
