If the only thing you know about people with #HoardingDisorder is something from #RealityTV, I strongly encourage you to learn the actual reality. I'm no expert on the #diagnostic side but my understanding of the condition and it's history in the relevant #medical #literature is that hoarding was once considered a manifestation(?) of #OCD, but over the years experts noted a key distinguishing factor for hoarding vs OCD in particular: When people with OCD are engaging in a repetitive behaviour (eg: excessive handwashing) they feel terrible about it. They want desperately to stop *in the moment* but cannot do so. People with hoarding disorder, OTOH, feel good, perhaps even fabulous, in the moment(s) of acquiring new things. The bad feeling only comes after and/or when trying to de-accumulate. And a full-abstinence, AA-type approach cannot work, as people NEED to aquire things to survive: groceries don't buy themselves, after all! 😐 14/x #differentiation #difference #characteristic

Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem 'Jabberwocky' may be based on the County Durham legend of the Sockburn Worm. This foul-smelling, poisonous dragon, who lived on an isolated peninsula in the River Tees, was beheaded by a local noble. Jabberwocky describes how "The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head, He went galumphing back." Carroll's father was the rector of the nearby village of Croft. In the village church is a carving said to have inspired the Cheshire Cat. #WyrdWednesday #folklore #literature #weird #mythology #gothic #history #poetry #poems #poets #churches

KING HENRY V: In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility. But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger: Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage. — Henry V, III, i #Shakespeare #literature #quote #quotation

“Oh, Mole! The beauty of it! The merry bubble and joy, the thin, clear, happy call of the distant piping! The call in it is stronger even than the music is sweet! Row on, Mole, row! For the music and the call must be for us.”

  • Kenneth Grahame, “The Wind in the Willows” 🎨 Troy Howell
