Hoarders

[DrPhil]

Bump because I'm watching the Discovery Fit & Healthy Hoarding: Buried Alive marathon.

I have never watched some of these episodes. Other episodes have been aired multiple times.

THIS EPISODE.

Normally, I wouldn't call someone strange or batshit crazy if they most likely have a diagnosable mental illness. But, there's something annoying about this woman that spans beyond mental illness. She claims she was in law school for 10 years (1986-1996) and never took the bar. She is estranged from her 2 ex-husbands and her 2 children. She has been in the USA and lived in the same house for 33 years. She is a linguist and an interpreter (I think she speaks 3 or more languages).

There are some HUGE RATS in this woman's house and all around her lawn. These rats are no longer hiding. The rats are now starting to reach the rest of the houses.

This woman's family and friends have turned their backs on her. I do NOT blame them.

Oh yeah...I think I've seen that episode before. She's the one who had the water-damaged/moldy law school books that she said were still good, right?

I remember seeing one episode where this lady was taking her on feces and putting it in plastic shopping bags because she couldn't get to her bathroom. She was urinating in coffee cans. That was the nastiest thing I had ever seen.
