Dear Toolsie,
I keep forgetting where I put things and my kids are starting to ask if I've been tested for anything. I'm scared to find out.

My psychiatrist wants to raise my antidepressant dose but I've read online it's dangerous, should I just take half of what she prescribed instead?

Dear Toolsie, my partner snores so badly I've started sleeping in the guest room most nights, and I don't know how to bring up a sleep study without it turning into a fight.

Dear Toolsie, I've gained weight since starting a new medication and I know it's helping me mentally, but I miss how I used to look and it's messing with my head.

Dear Toolsie,
My mother has early-stage dementia and still wants to drive. She's had no accidents yet, but I found two near-misses she never mentioned. I don't know if taking her keys is protecting her or taking away the last thing that makes her feel like herself.

My husband had a stroke last year and recovered well physically, but he's not the same person emotionally, and I feel guilty grieving someone who's still alive.

I finally lost the weight I've wanted to lose for years and now people won't stop commenting on my body, and it's making me want to gain it back just to make them stop.

Dear Toolsie,
Are there documented cases of people with hoarding disorder who, after appropriate treatment, have been able to stop hoarding and maintain an organized, decluttered living environment long-term? If so, what is the likelihood for a marriage between a hoarder and a non hoarder person to survive over time?
