Oh @Faith-and-Hope, thank you thank you thank you! - you make me feel so 'normal' Keep me posted on your progress as its inspiring. That feeling of 'out of control' mess brings (anxiety), were sure gonna feel better getting on top of it. Can I ask who you found to help? And what will you have them do? I never quite know what I'd ask if someone came to help. My psych mentioned there might be funded assistance she can find to help me declutter with a psychologist here in the home - must remind her, she was looking into it. I'm shoving things in a spare rm still - things I'm not using - to be carted away quickly when I'm done trying to 'flog' it (garage sales etc). Thanks for sharing this, may e we can start a 'housework' thread lol You have a hood day Faith Sister, xox

Re: Sleeping too much
I called a cleaning service @Former-Member ... one I have used before .... paid help is sometimes better cos they're pretty objective about it all .... but volunteer services might be available in your area.

Re: Sleeping too much
Gosh you have your hands full there @Faith-and-Hope, but also a clear compassionate levelheaded approach to it all, not giving up. My son is the opposite to me 'tidy' (almost ocd), but it worried me when I visited him in his 2nd year at uni, on campus, and found his room so messy. And I was right to be praying for him because I found out later he was experimenting with drugs (wrong crowd) and then got glandular fever and ended up on academic probation. And pretty much then his sister died and I went off the rails a couple of years. Its a miricle both of us survived. Plenty of angels about i guess, human and spiritual - PTL. But F&H, keeping 'steady' ourselves is the best we can offer them, best we can...

Re: Sleeping too much
Hmm, cleaning services, I agree 'paid' help would be better (mostly for privacy, and as you say - objectivity). Don't have anything like that here, small town. Nope, up yo me, I'll get there.
Now where's those joggers, I can feel my blood clogging - turning to jelly lol

Re: Sleeping too much
Yep .... just keep building on those baby steps @Former-Member .... it keeps you moving toward, sometimes at a pace you can hardly notice, but it's happening anyway ....
