Help hoarding

[bluupup]

I hate my room so much, I work so hard for it to be kawaii-kei / cutecore but I ruin it by hoarding. I ran out of room to hide my hoard and its cluttering my desks and making my room look so ugly... I cant get the motivation or courage to throw anything away either... I hate my life so much... what do I do???

Maybe give it as a gift?

My room is worse... Most of my mess is from grocery bags, pop bottles, and Captain Morgan bottles. Not sure what to suggest as I've tried cleaning my mess up to make my living situation more comfortable but still, it somehow gets worse even then.

I really hope you can recover from your hoarding, I know its hard. my room used to be really bad when I was addicted to opioids, I couldn't see the floor and I would just pee myself instead of getting outta bed. You got this, man. I know its kinda dumb that someone like me is telling you that it'll get better, but it will. I believe in u <3

Maybe give it as a gift?

Its a bunch of bullshit, nothing worth gifting.. old boxes that are useless for cardboard, rocks, tags for clothes that I don't even have anymore, bottles, shoes that need to be taped together to be wearable, torn up plushies, boxes full of old letters that I don't remember who I wrote to, toilet paper covered in blood..so many boxes of shit under my bed and in my closet.

to be honest i got it polar opposite of this. i got 1 closet 2 desk and 2 mattresses stacked on top of eachother which i call bed. there is nothing there. no posters or anything.

from the picture you sent in i only can say its not that messy (unless the ground is).

my room is like 4 times your room i think because it looks very small.

but the thing i want to say it that your room has personality.
probally its also me being clueless because im at the other side of this spectrum. but what part of the pictures is exactly the hoarding part?

It sounds like you don't really see it as something valuable yourself; there are people who don't even want to throw away literal trash.

i'm going to sound like a parent here but... it isn't really "kawaii-kei" yet if it is just a mess..
first of all you need to throw away any actual trash in the room.. and don't put new trash in to it.. get a small trash-can for the room that you can empty out some times..

your main problem is available out-of-view storage space i guess.. my grandpa had a house that was always immaculate and i wondered how he keeps it that way when most people have a lot of stuff in their house... i eventually found out he DOES have stuff it's just he keeps it all in closets and places that aren't visible, and so his house always looks perfectly immaculate.. so i'm not sure how you solve that problem (finding more storage space).. so if you can't get more storage space then i guess you either have to have a cluttered room like you do now or get rid of some of your kawaii junk in there that you aren't super attached to.. do you have an attic you can use? (be careful in attics to make sure you don't fall through the ceiling and paralyze your self)..

and then as far as organizing the room so it actually looks like an intentional set up instead of stuff jumbled every where i might look at pictures/videos of other people that have their weeb room set up and you can compare it to your room and see what needs to be changed to bring your room more in to alignment with looking like a proper set up.. one thing i think you need is more spacing between items instead of just them touching each other..

i don't know if the linkin park poster is intentionally there but if not then it can probably be tossed out.. it isn't kawaii and it isn't really music that i'm fond of very much any way, so it probably doesn't need to be there any more..

but doing all these tasks seems like a lot of work, and it is.. so i'd recommend just doing a little bit at a time.. a method i thought of to use when cleaning up rooms before is i'll clean a square section a day, like one day i'll clean a square meter, and next day i'll clean the adjacent square etc..

actually one option if you wanted (but you would need a lot of temporary extra space) would be to move out all items so the room is clear and then move back in only the things that should be in there and make sure they are displayed like they are intentionally put there..

the dark drawer thing is kind of drab and so you might either replace it or maybe put several big cute stickers on it..

it really takes a ton of effort to get a room in to alignment for being sort of a high-quality display of kawaii/weeb stuff, and so it isn't a task that you can probably surmount just in a few days.. it just depends on what level of quality you want the room to have.. cleaning and organizing a room actually seems like it takes more brain power to think of how things should be than the actual physical effort it takes to move every thing around.. moving stuff around physically is the easy part..

good luck sempai..

(P.S.: i should probably state that i'm being facetious as a joke about the linkin park poster before some one yells at me)

I know but I cant bare to get rid of stuff. I have a whole fuckin exit sign I stole when I was in middle school, my high school psych book, old sketchbooks, broken toys, dry pens.. I just keep thinking "what if I need this later??" I have a shoebox full of shoe laces

I dont have an attic but we have 2 extra closets, so I can put stuff in there. the Linkin park poster is just there to take up door space lol. thank you FF777-kun,, lol

to be honest i got it polar opposite of this. i got 1 closet 2 desk and 2 mattresses stacked on top of eachother which i call bed. there is nothing there. no posters or anything.

my room is very small lol, the ground has a lot of stains from pet urine and paint.. and I just have a lot of useless boxes from figures everywhere.
