Many people are "sinful" by gathering. At the same time, they often refer to the fact that these things can be useful, that they cause nostalgia for the past, etc. Meanwhile, doctors have already recorded this kind of hobbies in the ranks of deviations and are actively developing ways to deal with them.
So how can you tell if a person is actually developing a mild mental disorder? There are several signs by which you can determine the degree of neglect of a particular case. Here are some of them:
- it is difficult for a person to say goodbye to completely unnecessary, useless, and sometimes even broken things;
- it is difficult to navigate among the surrounding things - what is, what is not, what is where and other similar questions cause difficulties;
- cute little things in the houses of friends and acquaintances begin to catch your eye, a hundred ways of using the object you like immediately appear in your head.
To get rid of the "Plyushkin syndrome" and crush an unhealthy passion for gathering in the bud, you need to:
- First of all, you really want to come to the desired result. Well, you see, it will be difficult to clear your house of unnecessary trash without your participation.
- Conduct a general cleaning, without hesitation, destroy all useless and pointlessly occupying space items.
- After cleaning, try to maintain the created order and not accumulate junk over again.
- It is not worth taking from your friends even the things you really like, but completely unnecessary to them. Most likely, if these things are not useful to your friends, then they will be useless to you.
- The accumulated junk can be distributed to those in need or donated to friends.
- When buying new things, think about whether they are really necessary, and perhaps the old ones have not yet outlived their usefulness and are quite suitable for use.
It is best, of course, in order to exclude the very risk of a painful situation, at the slightest symptoms of such a dependence on things, immediately contact a professional psychologist. It can help you eliminate the root cause of your trash accumulation in the most efficient way and effortlessly.
The problem of collecting cravings is not as harmless as it might seem at first glance, and can seriously complicate the life of many people. The main thing is to take control of the situation in a timely manner, get rid of the unnecessary, and you will see how much easier your life will become.
