In general, when the clutter in your environment begins to affect your daily life, it can be considered hoarding. Some examples would be if you’re unable to use the bathroom because of the clutter, if you can’t walk down the hallway without stepping on things or have to walk sideways, or if you have to sleep on a small corner of your bed or a chair because the bed is too full of clutter. These are just a few instances where the clutter in the home has turned into hoarding.
