Guest guest Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I have read so many posts on this site that describe so many manifestations of OCD, but see very little on hoarding. Does anyone have kids that exhibit this form of OCD? My ds is 10 and has had OCD since kindergarten, but only began serious hoarding in Jan of this year. He puts most of what he saves in his closet, which is food, trash, bits of paper, and now I have noticed that he is putting clothes as well. He became very distressed tonight when I began to take the clothes out to take to the laundry. His therapist is working with him on removing some items, which he has done, but it seems that this has just increased anxiety and overall hoarding has increased. If anyone else has experience with this or has advice on how to help, would love to hear from you. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
