I don't understand why someone would want to compile a list like this. For one thing, it's disgusting and really not nice to look at. For another, these people obviously need help. There's nothing about this post that I would class as entertaining.

This is what depression looks like to me. When you just stop trying. So sad..

Frankly, all of these people must suffer from mental illnesses. I am not sure if this ought to be celebrated.

For the ones where they sent in a picture of their kids room. Why do they let their room get that bad? I my mom would have heart attack if I had a room even 1/3 rd the mess of those rooms.

Daughter, I will never complain about your room anymore. Well, less so.

Welcome roaches!

Well, i feel better about my room now! I assume people submitted their own stuff, and they are just like this. If they are depressed, then I'm really sorry. Been in that neighborhood, not fun

Let's have a contest and celebrate our toxic environments!

This are borderline hording... why is it celebrated by winning a contest?

I admit, I'm not a neat n tidy person (books everywhere, I tend to have a floordrobe) but these are horrifying. They look like my mother's bedroom (food packaging, medication boxes, soiled clothing, dirty tissues and personal hygiene products all over the place with nowhere to walk). It's nauseating and the smell is unbelievable

Pffft lot of these dont count they missing the unofficial final touch of disgusting rooms worldwide.... take out food boxes

these are not messy, but trashy...

Ok. This is so close to hoarding trash. I feel sorry for these people. I mean I am not the most organized person nor the tidiest but these people most likely suffer some form of depression or anxiety disorder. If they live in flats they are one step away from becoming hoarders who jeopardize their life and health as well as their neighbors' . I mean, in my building we have one such person people hate her and judge her I just feel sorry and wish she could sort it out. There is simply no procedure , no help for hoarders in my country. And they themselves usually refuse any kind of help.

As someone with depression, I can say that it’s really easy to let a room end up like this without help. There have been many times where I’ve been overwhelmed by my house after my depression symptoms lightened. I’m always too ashamed to ask for help because of the commentary I’d receive. Many of these comments are an EXCELLENT example of why people would have issues asking for help even though it’s obviously needed. I’m by no means saying it’s healthy or acceptable to live like this, just that compassionate comments are seriously lacking.

How can they move about in the room, and what's with the clothes on the floor? You have so much time now, to pick up, tidy away, etc. This is disgusting!

We should go back to the days where everyone had 2 outfits, one for going out and one for home

When our daughters were about 7 & 9 or so, I got tired of trying to get their room decent, so I decided to let them live in it until they WANTED a neat room. It ended up in at least a foot of toys, candy bags with sticky partly-eaten candy, clothes ,etc etc. In the long run it made neatniks out of them both. In the short run, they spent 6 weeks with their beloved Nana in another state and I cleaned it up. Their babysitter brought his girlfriend over to see " the messiest room in the world" but he did NOT know about the cleanup. LOL

I mean, I just leave my clothes on my bed if I change during the day, if I go out, when I come back I leave my backpack on my bed as well and after supper as a rule (not from my parents) I kinda de-stress cleaning my room while listening to music and then I chill out. Obviously if we have guests over I will clean up before they come! But man these rooms are really bad! =O

animals are tidyer

These are some nasty people. I understand junk and stuff, but when you got whole pizzas and food sitting there, gross.

I'm frequently asked to photograph property by estate agents that make these look clean and organized! Usually the vendor says something like, "Just let me know if I need to move anything..." The worst room, though, was a bathroom decorated completely in jet black, with bare floorboards. Completely, totally, matt black, over every square inch... except it wasn't decorated. It was mold...

Not going to lie, when I was a young teenager, my room was similar (no food/actual trash) with clothes and random stuff everywhere all over the floor... But I grew up and it's no longer like that. This post gives me anxiety just looking at the mess. How can people live like this? My goodness.

I feel this in my soul. I'm a neat freak who color codes the closet and vacuums daily. My "quarantine" started in January preparing for them having major foot surgery. Eight months later my anxiety and depression are at an all time high and my room is a disaster. Which makes me anxious and depressed. Ugh the vicious cycle. Please send tots and pears

DISGUSTANG!! (Anyone remember that lady)

For those who should know better, clean it up or move out and take your crap with you.
