By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

Thank you kindly for responding.
Thank you kindly for responding.
they might be able to get the State to assign a guardian which will most likely get you placed in a home somewhere without your consent
I think you might be close to hitting bottom....you need to decide if you want the State to force you into a group home setting, or if you are going to pull up your loin cloth and get a psychologist to help you. Call the first one you find in google in your area and make an appointment....and first make the commitment to help yourself by doing what you must.
That may seem rude, but that you know that you have a problem is 75% of getting the house cleaned. The next 25% is starting by getting up and doing.
Start by throwing all the garbage out, then donate all the excess that you have accumulated. By that time you will see progress and know what comes next.
You live in an apartment so you have access to dumpsters, that makes it easier.
Before anyone can help you, you need to figure out why you’re hoarding.
While I can't be specific, I'm also concerned that it may set you up for harrassment or some kind of scammer.
Obviously something happened in your life that was traumatic. Is your therapist actually helping you with that issue? It's probably the key to reversing the hoarding.
However, if you want help, I wouldn't post via a video or rely on APS or other intervention. You might want to contact companies that handle disaster cleanouts, companies that work for insurance companies and clean up after floods, tornadoes or other major disasters. They have staff and knowledge to handle these kinds of cleanouts. But obviously you'll have to pay them.
What happens when you try to clean out, by yourself? If you start with just a small pile, you'll see progress that can be encouraging.
Your apartment was really quite lovely and charming initially. I hope whatever emotional disaster afflicted you can be addressed so you can live a full life again.
Marzipan, you created a video of your lovely apartment, apparently in 2007 and then later. I'm just wondering if there's any significance to having videoed the area 12 years ago, or were you just creating the video for posterity?
