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... 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙

I hope you have a good week too @Former-Member, & everyone.
Rats in the wall is not fun. I have a very keen sense of smell, so if one dies in there I'm sure I will smell it...

Hi @Former-Member yep, clear beds, benches, tables & floors sure make a home look tidy. Good job on the magazines. I have a pile high 😶. Its just all to much here atm 😧
Did clear away the weeds from the grape vine which i thought died, and had pruned back to the stump, so very pleased to see it coming back.☺

Just thought I'd try find ancient texts about hoarding - still looking but this spells is pretty clear, and to think it was written 2,000 years ago, when it was my understanding they had nothing much of any processions 😱Go figure 😮
ITRW: trying to figure out where to start with bedrooms. My wardrobe, my girls room. 😞
Maybe I need to go on a hunger strike, deny myself, to push this scourge out of me, like a spiritual fast, pull my flesh in line, or something. Its gotta stop. Its like gambling, a little win doesn't make up for the deficit 😞
