[QUOTE="Josie, post: 385879, member: 1792"] My daughter is a hoarder, too. It can go along with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and the same methods can be used to treat it. There's a good book for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) called "What to Do When Your Child has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)" by Aureen Pinto Wagner. For some reason, my daughter's hoarding is getting somewhat better. I threw away something recently that she would have preferred to keep and she didn't fall apart. I don't dare get rid of any of her hundreds of stuffed animals, though. She did recently allow me to put more of them up, so we now have a manageable amount in her room. We recently got her Lexapro up to 10 mg so that might be what is helping her. You might be able to find an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) intensive day treatment place nearby. There is one by us that people come to from all over but it is only during the day. Even adult patients are encouraged to bring their family since the family needs to know how to help them. The patients go home or to a hotel at night. I think they might stay for a few weeks if they are from out of town. Since we were local, our daughter did 3 hour sessions, 3 times a week. Her therapist came to our house since her issues were here. I don't think it is a matter of not listening. I think she knows the right thing to do, but somehow that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) has a hold of her and she just feels compelled to save her peed on clothes. In Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) therapy for kids, they teach them to think of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as a bully. They have to learn to talk back to the bully and not let it boss them around. There is a yahoo group for parents of kids with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that you might find helpful. Smallworld posted while I was typing. I agree with letting the hoarding go for now, while you work on the eating. I don't think it will do any good to increase her anxiety by making her get rid of things. [/QUOTE]
