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... 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙

Oh @Former-Member I'm sorry to hear that.
It's so hard when the repair bills start mounting up...

Hi - hope everyone is well. I'm pleased with myself today, not for what I have done but for what I haven't done. I must have driven past five garage sales today and not stopped to look at a single one. I keep asking myself "what could you possibly need and can you justify spending money on it? I've been living like I still have a job and even though I got a payout I know I'm going to run out of money eventually and do I really need anything that's on offer at a garage sale no matter how cheap it is? Happy I didn't give into temptation, despite having a teenage daughter saying "oh let's stop and have a look"... I need to declutter not add to the detritus. I hope everyone else is winning the clutter war. Have a good night.

Its progress to reduce incomings @Former-Member, and WOW that was a very productive day.
@Former-MemberI was struck by your sense of sober reality. It is huge and normal and healthy to sort through your stuff and slowly make you decisions.
The avatar is perky but also has naturalistic colouring ... lovely..... and yes its a brillliant way to incorporate the different parts of yourself.
I have been away since Wednesday as I have had LOT on.
