Default finally we are recognised.

Hello,

This might be of interest for some of you, I read it this morning in a Dutch news paper.

Collect anger becomes impairment AMSTERDAM - Collect anger becomes in a new psychiatric handbook, which appears in 2013, a separate impairment.
Collect anger, also hoarding, first seen as an obsessional neurosis, now increasingly considered more and more as a separate impairment, the Dutch daily communicates.
Nursing specialist Linda Vriend finds it correct, because it is no sickness which heals easily. "There is still no suitable medication against it. You can help people at best, to deal with it "


Albert.

I seem to remember, many years ago, finding that in order to 'collect' you had to be prepared to travel, spend lots of time and money to acheive results and had no hope of salvation!

Oh well, if that is the case, then it might be time for you chaps over there to part with your fantastic Airborne collections

So can I now tell Mrs. PJ, that none of this is my fault?

Can I register as 'officially ill', claim disability benefits, give up work, and be given regular badge fixes on the NHS?

Cushty!

PJ.

One sympton of this sickness is going to a militaria fair,finding nothing for your collection,but buying something anyway so that you do not leave empty handed.

P.B.

Very fine line we walk and I hope collecting has never got to the state with any of us where it has got out of hand- to the detriment of family, finance or health. The condition of hording though is a serious mental health issue. Some sufferers never throw anything away- interesting documentary last week on BBC 1 'My Horder Mum And Me'. Still on BBCi player today.
Glad i'm able say "So I collect now and then-I can handle it!" Cheers, Paul.

I could stop collecting anytime, I just don't want too.

Perhaps we could have an online "CA" meeting.

Better a badgeaholic than a badgerholic, or you could be one of this lot:
