Getting storage cabinets help you to avoid becoming a hoarder. Hoarding is a problem. Some people don’t realize that they’re hoarding. They start buying things bit by bit, seldom using them, or not using them at all, and putting them in a cardboard box that they can sort “someday.”
Garage storage cabinets can help. Basically, whatever doesn’t fit into the cabinets should be sold or given away.
Compulsive hoarding (or pathological collecting) is a pattern of behavior that is characterized by the excessive acquisition of and inability or unwillingness to discard large quantities of objects that cover the living areas of the home and cause significant distress or impairment.[1] Compulsive hoarding behavior has been associated with health risks, impaired functioning, economic burden, and adverse effects on friends and family members.[2]When clinically significant enough to impair functioning, hoarding can prevent typical uses of space so as to limit activities such as cooking, cleaning, moving through the house, and sleeping. It can also be dangerous if it puts the individual or others at risk for fire, falling, poor sanitation, and other health concerns
Hoarding is a psychological condition, but one that a lot of people can easily get. All it takes is over-attachment to various items, and the inability to let them go. Hoarders live in cluttered environments, and as the article excerpt above shows, it can also have a negative effect on both the victim and their friends and families as well.
If you think that you or someone you care for is a compulsive hoarding, seek professional help. A competent professional may be able to pare down the hoard, and getting storage cabinets may be an effective compromise to avoid causing distress to the hoarder.
