Re: not coping

I’ve unpacked most of it @Jynx I didn’t have much to move.
I just need to get a few other things tomorrow and then it’s already set up.

Re: not coping

Nice @outlander it's all happening!! You like decorating your space? Got some indoor plants? Or fake ones if you've got brown thumbs like me lol. Fake plants are valid too cos even fake greenery boosts our mood (like, legitimately lol). I should get more of em.... 😋

Re: not coping

I’ve decorated the space @Jynx but I also like simple. I don’t like everything feeling cluttered. I have a plant outdoors on the little mini verandah.

Re: not coping

@outlander I am sooo torn between my love of chaos (and trinkets ahaha) and wanting clear space for mental calm 😅

But I think the latter might finally be winning, else I will end up needing to pay for storage 🤣

Re: not coping

I have lived in a hoarders home for many years @Jynx the change from hoarding and only walking space to actually having room has been nice.
I have some trinkets, I have a little shelf with photos and candles and decor type items but nothing that looks squashed so to speak. Everything has a place
