    Hey Mack, I finally got the chance to name some foster kittens after your intro names. We have Cornbread Lovehog, orange boy, Scully Foxmulder, orange girl, and a very handsome ticked tabby named Dr. Ram Harddrive. When he gets out of the kitten room you'd better believe I walk around calling, "Dr. Harddrive? Paging Dr. Harddrive." It's dumb, but it makes me laugh and I hope it makes you laugh too

    Two things:
    1) The mythical Moose Druids (Moosis Magicalis Druidicas) are known to usually inhabit regions of the British and Irish Isles as well as northern Europe. However, through the use of The Fey Court slipgates, and the fact they are still Moose, they often end up incorrectly setting the coordinates, and so, as you've noticed, they will often end up under piles of clutter throughout the world.
    2) On the subjects of pitchforks, now I would like to see an artist rendering of the famous painting, "American Gothic", with you and Jason in place of the original couple - even if it's only a face swap.

    This morning when I poured coffee into the cup, a few drops went on the counter, and my natural behavior is to not care or maybe don't even see it, but today everything was so spotless, so I took a wet wipe and cleaned it and put the wipe in the garbage bag! 😯💃
    I worked hard this week, cleaning, and I will do ANYTHING to keep it clean and wash dishes every day. Amen! 🙏🙏🙏
    Now I am starting to clean the bedroom after watching this video, which is my motivation and fuel to start 1 square at a time. Yay! 👏👏👏🧚

  • @kg6801

    This is long but as a person with "hospital strength" hoarding disorder and other issues I wanted to give some more feedback on more ways I'm finding that what you do and how you do it is immensely helpful to me and I'm sure to others, that includes people being so supportive in their comments, and something I say may turn out to be helpful to someone somehow. You and your family, your crew (and assorted moose) do a fantastic job in so many ways. Thank you for keeping the nastiness out of the comments section, that alone must be a job and a half, and it's a huge, huge help, because reading so many people being supportive of others is helping me to gradually rewire my self-criticism and take the edge off of shame and humiliation and that goes a long way towards continuing to tackle cleaning up and to do all the things I need to do to keep afloat.
    Another unecpected benefit I've noticed is as you, and Jason or whoever may be with you, consistently work through the stuff, you're modeling that cleaning up can be done without judgement or negativity, grumbling or even pressure or expectation. To try to explain, I'm certain for most of us struggling with these sorts of issues, trying to clean up has long been heavily associated with receiving everything from exasperation and disdain to shaming, insults, arguments, rage and abusiveness (I'm not at all saying it's not understandable that people get frustrated), and that we've then used that same energy and language on ourselves just trying to do what everyone else seems to do easily and the more we struggle, the harder we berate ourselves, and it makes for associating doing the work (or tidying/cleaning at all) with horrible, distressing, self-defeating feelings and no sense of relief or accomplishment for any action, which makes it even harder to do at the best of times, let alone when you're pushing a boulder up a steep hill because you're unwell. Watching you and the other awesome people who do what you do has been helping me begin to rewire that, which has been helping me keep going and get more and more done. That's another really important effect of your content, and I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling at least some benefits from those things alone.
    Yet another important benefit I've realised is seeing you repeatedly and systematically work all the way through from mountains of dreadful to tidy and clean has been shifting the perception in my mind that my mess is some utterly impossible, impenetrable monolithic thing. That's hard for me to explain, it feels like it's part of the clutter-blindess/blocking perception distortion sort of thing, part of the "there's no one piece of stuff, it's one big mountain so it's impossible to move any of it" thing. But also, somehow it truly feels like the mass of stuff has become like an immovable part of the house, you feel like you can no more affect it than you could just knock out half of the building including the foundations on your own with a teaspoon, and if you did, half the actual house would be gone as if it's fallen down a sinkhole, so then you'd have a torn in half house to deal with. The stuff IS the house, the house is the stuff. It's a weird messed up perception. You end up not being able to imagine an alternate future where the stuff could even be dented, let alone gone, it's just a permanence that you may not even realise you're seeing that way, it's just part of the wall of imposibility, some part of you fully believes it's just not possible even as you're trying to work on it, you're living a lie even trying. I'm now working into more difficult areas that haven't been touched in more than 5 (some more than 10) years, and that immovable monolith feeling is different, shifting a bit more, and not just because I'm getting some areas done, it's also because while I feel like I'm chipping away at one edge at the base of my mountain and can't see my way through, I CAN see where YOU'VE moved different mountains, over and over again, some even bigger and more difficult than mine, and it's like you're the light at the end of another tunnel that shows me there could be light at the end of mine, and I'm copying what you do in my limited way in the hope I can see light at the end of the tunnel I'm working on, that maybe MY mountain really can be moved like so many of yours have. I would not be able to see that just shoveling in the dark with my teaspoon when my mind wants to convince me what I'm doing is futile and there's no way out or through. I think I mixed all my metaphors but I hope that makes some sort of sense.
    You're an important part of my recovery, thank you for everything you do for everyone, you're changing lives in so many ways.

      You do such an amazing job explaining how it feels when you go to do the thing everyone else around you says is easy when really all the negative associations make a hard job feel impossible. It's especially hard when you grow up in cluttered spaces and it just starts to feel normal. Kind of like going nose blind does to smells. Idk if I would be classified a hoarder but there are definitely some piles of clutter that need to be tackled. This channel and comments like yours make it seem less impossible and allow me to just start, which is always the hardest part for me.

    I've posted a few times, but I got adhd with autism, and I do have some bad issues, my house isn't an absolute disaster like many of the houses you feature, but it's bad enough(I got some hoarding issues, cleaning issues, stuff everywhere and unorganized, etc), and your vids have given me valuable guidance and motivation to organize and clean things. I still have an everest ahead of me, but I'm chipping away at it and I've become mindful of behaviors that are damaging and just make the situation worse. On top of that, your video cleanings are incredibly cathartic and keep proving to me that not only could my situation be infinitely worse than it is, I can actually get my place sorted if I just put effort into it and keep the right mindset.

      Well done you chipping away regardless! 🎉 I've found it's best to do one small area at a time... Like a table top or a counter...so you feel you've accomplished something...that you're not just chipping away at a mountain and you don't get a visual reward for your efforts.... It also helped me to have a principle of if I bring something new to the house then I must also exit something from the house.... Oh, and speaking of rewards for your efforts, I reward myself with a beer. A small not too bad room is a one beer room...but like a kitchen with a mountain of dishes and not a clear countertop in sight, is probably a 3 beer room.

    My family has a streak of "over collecting" from "hobbies." It's a relief that my 80 year old mom sews and quilts everyday in her retirement. She's actually using the stuff (fabric, sewing machines, etc.) that accumulated and spent (too much) money on. She has 2 100 sq ft bedrooms cram packed to the ceiling with fabric, etc. But thankfully she uses it, she sews, and gives her work away.
    My 60s something sister also over collectsand has a mishmash of crafting aspirations - including selling antiques. It's concerning and frustrating because there is no discussion with her about how to organize, downsize, or even be realistic about what she has taken on. I'll be happy if, when she retires, she crafts and focuses on her hobby, like my mom has.
    My 60s something brother, on the other hand, has approached hoarder level - can't let go of anything, keeps old magazines and clippings or broken things he'll never fix (including old ocks and a car), has spent tens of thousands of dollars on model trains and planes. He lives with my mom so has packed the rest of her house with his hoard and will be evicted immediately after she passes away.
    It's a fine line and absolutely a miswiring that starts early and can easily start misfiring wildly and get out of control easily. It is NOT easy to talk to, handle, deal with, or help folks like this.
    Your approach and patience are important when dealing with folks like this. As great as it would feel to throw all their shit out, it won't work and would make it worse. If it's not effective, it's not worth doing.
    I'm just trying to echo MMC here, dealing with hoards/hoarding isn't simple or easy.

And I’m not talking about a pin out of her place. I’m talking about not knowing which clothes are dirty or clean sometimes bc I shed the not clean and haven’t gotten around to sorting and putting away the clean. I have learned to be gentle with myself. I also splurge on twice a month professional housekeepers to handle my toilets and floors. This has aided in my recovery and I know as healing progresses, I will keep tidier and wash my own two toilets. God bless you and your team and amen. 🇬🇧

      I wiped out and vacuumed my closet and while putting the stuff back into it I sorted out the clothes I didn't want to keep. So I had clean clothes to donate and clean clothes to keep.

But I still find myself hoarding my used coffee cups for a week, and other piles of whatnots..putting like-with-like. I have been a full time reseller through this healing process and have learned to be super picky about what I bring home. It all has to fit in my walk in closet which is my office now. But the minute I put two items where they dont belong, I add twenty more items and it becomes where that pile "goes." Your words help me SEE the pile as a programming error that needs a re-write. You frame things in ways that can change lives. Good on you. Thank you.

    Mack, I’m so glad you took the Druid moose to a dedicated enchanted forest, rather than just shoving them out the door to run wild in the neighbourhood! 👍They can be at peace now, except for the ousted one dowsed in perfume, I feel sorry for that lonely moose! At least he’ll smell good though! 🤣🤣🤣
    A massive well done to you and Jason, this is an amazing transformation throughout, particularly given all you’ve been going through recently! You should both be very proud of what you achieved! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and fab news that Jason’s place is coming along so well, yay! We can’t wait to greet beautiful little Anya (love the name!) to team Filth! 😁❤️🇬🇧

    I feel like someone finally understands me. I finally understand myself. Getting started is incredibly difficult except minor spirts of energy. I suspect I'm undiagnosed ADHD and definitely some depression/anxiety. My husband betrayed me with his office secretary and family friend. Unfortunately, we are sharing the marital home again. I feel everything in MY bedroom is MINE and he can't take it from me. So my bedroom is hoarded. Compounded by he won't buy carpet and we are walking on the subfloor. It's a fight to get him to cut the grass, he literally does zero repairs and upkeep. That's not motivating for me to clean. What? Vacuum the subfloor? I know why I'm the way I am, but getting help to :fix me" is another issue. Decades of verbal, emotional, financial, and physical abuse have just crushed me. I need to find a way to purge and clean so my grandkids and friends can come to my house.... but how? Please, no negative response, I beat myself up enough. Thank you

      Sharon, you have to leave him. You gotta do it. It’s the sunken cost fallacy since you lived so many years together but he has not honored your vows of marriage and he clearly hates you. You deserve to live alone in peace.

    Hi Mack and Jason. I enjoyed watching your video. You guys work your hiny's off! Loved when you said, " None of your 'heckin'' business!" Lol! The pitchfork idea reminded me of the Green Acres theme song, which is now stuck in my head! I also like to watch Clean the City, with A. P. I love it when he does his little "jigs." Gabby is great, too. Y'all have a great weekend. ❤ from FL.

    sometimes watch these to see if there is an identifiable pattern in the way the trash sits, something that gives clues on the activities of the inhabitants and their states of mind.

    Hi Mack, I hope you and your family are well ❤love your videos, I try not to miss any of them. Most people who know me think I'm strange because I can't rest till my house is in order. If it is not in order, my anxiety is off the charts. Other people's homes don't bother me. Just mine. And I love cleaning. I often help people organize and clean their homes. I guess I'm a little strange. Have a great weekend 😀

    Congrats to Jason, his wife, and all of you on the incoming little one! I have no kids, but my eldest niece had a baby just about two years ago, so... it's weird to be a great-aunt 😅I can't possibly be old enough for _that,_ right?

    I noticed all of the large drink cups. My method would be to go through and stack up all the cups, then pick out all the tops of clothing, then the bottoms, then the hangers. I guess that’s my OCD. It would never get done. That explains a lot for why my place looks the way it does. I try to, whenever I leave a room, to go to the kitchen, I try to bring dishes or containers or cups back there, to the sink/dishwasher or to throw out. It’s a habit to develop, whenever you leave a room to do a scan, gather up whatever needs putting away.
