Anxious About Being Borderline Hoarder

<p>About seven years ago I used to print out random articles I found online. As a result I started collecting over 100 binders, which led me to buy several binders over the years, also including binders form high school and college.</p>

<p>My family is worried about me and my brother called me a hoarder because of collecting. But in the most recent years, I’ve been taking control of it and been trying to slowly recycle my paper. But I’m stubborn about throwing or giving away my binders, but I need to take baby steps.</p>

<p>I’m worried that no one will date me because I have 100 binders and I worry and feel anxious because of it. I’m worried, what I’m going to do when I graduate and need to find a house.</p>

<p>I’m trying to take control of my problem, but it brings me a lot of anxiety when I think about my binders. I know I should throw away them cold turkey.</p>

<p>I’m worried that no one will date me or want to live with me and I feel anxious about it.</p>

<p>I know I should throw away my binders and try to improve myself, but shouldn’t someone accept my for the way I am. Plenty of people of date and even marry people with drug addiction, obesity, criminals, pathological liars, etc.</p>

<p>I’m a girl and like to have stuff, I’m no minimalist (I would go crazy living as a minimalist).</p>

<p>Am I destined to be alone? I feel really anxious about it. Will no one live with me or date me? I’m afraid of letting people in my life (I know I have a problem).</p>
