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 💪

Are you OK Darcy? Not angry with me too?
Spring is nearly over, but think the thread will stay active as a homemaker, HOARDER / D'CLUTTER

@Former-Member My visitors sister is a hoarder ( big time ) you are amazing doing what you are doing. I've been part of this ladies world for a long time now, and the agony of trying to let go of the smallest things is so hard for her. I can only imagine what goes on inside her head. No small achievment for you, an inspiration for sure.

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help
Thanks @Maggie, for 'getting it' I just collapsed my daughters bed Tuesday, doesn't feel right, wanna put it back up. I waited till my only visitor dropped by to help (I don't cry / am stronger around ppl) but she got allergy to dust. Its all just very hard. Its part of a double bunk. Might go dump it all on her dads front lawn, he never helped with anything, even the headstone. Oops, don't mean to go there. I'm off to wotk / the shop shortly. Hope I don't bring something home. So impulsive 😞

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help
So hard @Former-Member re the bed. Makes it so final. I do that strong around visitors thing also, then collapse when they leave. As I only have one visitor, like you, it's not that often. Hope the shop today has some good moments, let us know if you bring something home....💗💗😍

Hi @Former-Member
I love your spirit-bear avatar -
I have had you in my thoughts - I am not up to much and getting off-line now- using the lap top is making me hotter on a hot day
I know you had your daughter's 20th - I hope the day wasn't too bad -
I love you my dear friend - yesterday I started writing here but my computer was on go-slow and I am not much better -
Sending hugs
Dec

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help
Thanks @Maggie, did I bring something home? No, BUT - staff are allowed to put things aside out back for later & I found swimmers - new one piece to fit my XL size bum, the elastic has gone in my old ones.
Real estate just rang - a young couple from the city visiting tomorrow. to look at houses to renovate (like mine). So hopefully I won't be in too much pain after working this morning, to clean up in time. Just to something strong 😞
Rangvthe Charity truck to come collect but just missed their fortnightly run. But that gives me 2wks I guess.
I'm thinking (do that sometimes lol) that I should just pack, pretend I'm moving, cause I'm not using most of it. Accept maybe... (there I go again)
