Experiences with

Hoarding disorder

When dealing with hoarding disorder efforts to get rid of the items and not acquire items causes distress. Spending may be excessive, causing financial distress. Hoarding disorder causes conflict in social/family relationships, in addition to general withdrawal from society.

The Online Hoarding Disorder Conference offers an opportunity for professionals — from therapists and social workers to firefighters and other public safety officials — to learn how to work effectively and compassionately with individuals with hoarding disorder (HD).

This is also a great opportunity to meet others that are dealing with OCD, BDD, and Hoarding disorder. It is a chance to see that you are not alone!

I started watching some videos in Youtube and found a guy with Autism who helps people with ADHD and Hoarding Disorder and other neurodivergent folks clean and declutter their homes for free. And to be honest it is the most peaceful and judgement free process.

Covering topics like "Legal Challenges Faced by People with OCD" or "A Model of Self-Help Treatment" "Family Accommodations" and "Hoarding Disorder" etc... Here is the link: https://iocdf.org/slides/ Tell a Friend!

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. I have tinnitus in one ear. I see some posts from people with similar issues and would like to share my story so far. I don't think my tinnitus is severe, relative to what other people here are going through, and my heart goes out to all sufferers. I would like to

Hi all, just an ask, I had a hearing test with NHS in Jan of 22. I've not had a follow up since and nothing scheduled. I have NHS HA. Does anyone else get checkup appointments, and if so how frequently? Thanks

Hello :) I have noticed over the last year that my hearing has become a bit embaressing. I am 34 and find when socialising with friends I'm constantly saying pardon, or just smiling because I can't hear and hope that my nods are in the right place. I have seen online that lupus can effect your hearing

A old man went to the Doctors for his yearly check up, The doctor said do you want a sit before we start The old chap said loudly NO ÌTS OK I HAD ONE BEFORE I CAME OUT, Then the Doc said I want you to lay on the floor and do 2 press ups because I want to listen to your heart, So the old chap

Hi I have had tinnitus since Oct 2022 following a nasty RTA. It was diagnosed last January. I was referred to audiology who did a hearing test and gave me a leaflet. I was on the waiting list for the local tinnitus clinic for 15 months. I am going back tomorrow to have hearing aids fitted to help mask

I went to my doctors a few years back when my Tinnitus was getting me down, constant high pitch. I couldn’t get direct help as I fall outside the NHS postal code for referral to an audiologist. I was advised to go private, so eventually I had an hearing test which more or less confirmed some hearing

My 2nd post: I don't get on with hearing aids and feel one reason is that hearing tests are unreliable. Does anyone else here feel the same? I've had several this year alone. Specsavers only tested me on 6 frequencies, whereas the other tests were on 8. Some audiologists are very begrudging about

Internet help forums aren't usually my thing, but I'm starting to get pretty down about all of this so even if it's just a bit of encouragment (to do what I don't know) I'd appreciate it. Tinnitus...

In December 2023 I had acute Otitis media ear infection in my right ear, which perforated my ear drum. After many weeks of antibiotic ear drops the infection cleared slightly but I still had earache and significant hearing loss and still had a small hole in my ear drum which has not healed. As this
