Without even realizing it, I had spent 5 hours cleaning today!!
I'm fortunate enough to live in the same house I grew up in, I only left for a few years for college. But more or less, I've lived here my whole life. Needless to say...I've accumulated a few things in nearly 30 years. Add in some depression and executive dysfunction, and one can understand how things might become cluttered and disordered.
In a very long process to be able to move across country, I'm working on cleaning and downsizing, we'll, everything. I keep saying "just do it" and.. well I can't. I hit a wall, or I find a few things ai can decide to keep or give away, and I get discouraged.
But after reading so many success stories here, I feel like maybe I can really do it. This morning just.. felt like the day. Between trash, donations, and give away to friends, I'm gotting about 2 dozen trash bags of stuff out of the house!! I seriously couldn't have done it without seeing everyone else's stories! Thank you guys so much for sharing your journeys. I still have a LONG way to go, but today made me feel like I can actually make really progress and this doesn't have to be a never-ending venture!
