Hi sorry again, I don't know how to show links. I agree that it was incredibly difficult to read and I apologize. It's just that is something I feel so strongly about, the misuse of the term and the stereotyping of someone who is in torture from this disorder, that I acted quickly, and I realized that it was way more than required, but again, I didn't know how to link, or even if it was permitted. Again, sorry. Hoarding used to be under the category of OCD, and the support group I help to facilitate is for those with OCD and hoarding. However, the new Diagnostic and Statistics Manual has created a new category for hoarding as it was a subset of OCD and was a bigger group anyway.
