I love the "cleaning" reality shows on TV. I used to watch "Clean Sweep" faithfully but then it got cancelled.
I find myself really hooked, tho, on "The Life Laundry" on BBC America.
I originally started watching them because I am a packrat (born and raised this way) and trying to be more of a neatnik. But now I find it fascinating to see how some people can hoard things for the wildest reasons!
On Life Laundry, many of the folks who are hoarding and have tons of stuff, have it because of either a traumatic event (death in the family, divorce, etc.) or an abusive past. Some even borderline on squallor.
I have to wonder if some of my hoarding is from an abusive past.
