SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

The ALL-YEAR-ROUND job of DECLUTTERING and CLEANING our homes is daunting. Especially for those of us who HOARD, or struggle with depression, and decisions, anxiety & other MI. I'm so challenged in this way so reaching out for support. Maybe start an Declutterers Army 💪

If you suffer the same challenge or have some great suggestions - type away... 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙

@Kurra
If you do find you have a spot you would like to tackle and would like encouragement, am here to gently do so. I know what a struggle it is. I had to push myself to deal with just two things in the spare bedroom today but as I have decided that as we cheer each other on in this thread I need to put in the hard yards too.

@utopia 1 x promotional cook book 1 x newspaper cooking section (recipes never used) taken out of spare room, put in paper box for wood heater.

I'll think about whst I can concentrate on tomorrow @Former-Member. My mower broke down yesterday so I'll have to get the scythe out tomorrow to finish mowing the grass because I can't afford to get the mower fixed.

Sleep well. Big Hugzzz 💕🎶💕

@Former-Member ... I often take my charity donations to another area rather than locally unless I know of someone in need (or someone who knows someone in need) who would be happy to take them.

Sorry I'm such a loser here, when you've been so good to me.

@Owlunar

it does upset me the unfair way I am treated by powers that be. Trying to run me off again I guess. Picked up a brochure on bullying today, that's what it is, I have just as much right to be here as anyone else & know I help others when i well, and do have a place. I burst into tears when the posts were removed - to have them imply i disrespect my loved ones... Thought being anonymous here covered that, and blurred blocked faces - but apparently not. I'm thinking maybe we are not as anonymous as we're led to believe. Then again, what leg does an MI really have to stand on? I cried a lot today, under great stress, and then smashed trying to seek real support. What's new! Its traumatizes me, the way its done, disgusting reallly. Lucky I'm too tired to care beyond tears. I wish I could get sometningvright.

Hi @Former-Member ..... I am glad to see you.

Of course, not being able to see the photos you posted meant that I didn't know what their content was ..... I know you do struggle to be able to ask for help, and you are doing an amazing job helping out st your folks house, just physically, quite apart from how emotionally draining this time is for you ....., you are doing sooooo well Hon ❣️

I hope you are managing the rest you need, and remembering to eat something regularly.

Do you make your magic soup for your mum and dad ?

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Hi @Former-Member - no one would ever think you were a loser = that's just negative self-talk. So you made a mistake, everyone makes mistakes. No harm done. You do a lot of good for people and that is something to be praised and appreciated. I hope you get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow is a new day - please take care and look after yourself.

Hey @Former-Member - no one expects you to be everything to everyone and perfect all the time.

If it counts for anything and i hope it does, your contribution to this Forum means a lot to me. I look forward to your posts and hearing about your progress (and there has been a lot). It gives me joy.

When you are feeling down, I just want to sit with you. We made it through the cold dull winter. Spring is here.

I am just amazed at your strength and all that you are doing for your parents when you have more than enough on your plate. You deserve some care and attention. I so much wish there was more we could do.

That's the frustrating part about being virtual family - the hands on stuff isn't possible.

Hope you have a restful sleep and just like your profile pic - joy comes in the morning for you.
