Facebook Groups & Online Chat Rooms

There are many Facebook and other on-line community groups that you can sign up for. Unfortunately, not all of these groups are helpful for everyone. 

  • Pay attention to how you feel when you participate. Is this causing increased anxiety for you? If so, perhaps this group isn't for you.

  • Are you spending a lot of time on-line and not working on your own hoarding challenges?
