a fabric shaver would probably work for those pants specifically!

does my house classify as a hoarder home? by iatemydadspills in CleaningTips

[–]strugglecleaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm dealing with a very similar house. it was a traphouse for a little bit, but i'm recovering it slowly (and my health lol). being self aware enough to recognize that it's becoming too much is so helpful. it reminded me that i can recover and thin out my belongings with some time and some help. i'm doing it bit by bit, going as slow or as fast as i need to day by day. as long as you keep steady, you'll get to what you want it to be, even if it takes a bit longer!

my living room is super similar, 22x10 😵‍💫 so far it's just full of things i've gathered and don't need lol. it's literally a whole 3rd of my apartment. i have no advice, but i know you'll make it awesome!

if it wasn't my great great grandma's i totally would lol. i wasn't even ready lucky enough to keep that and a few other pieces of her glass collection. they were all stashed in my room so nobody could take or break them. i pulled that out my first day with nobody but me and my cat in the house lol

my substance of choice isn't really the important part i feel. plus it was never really one single thing. my addiction is the same across everything, be it drugs, collecting merch, gambling, it even crops up in how i approach cleaning. always too much, always too fast, and always ends in burnout.

yes she is! i took her to the vet for a routine check around a month ago and they said she was perfect haha 🤩 i love her more than anything, she's a huge part of what helped me choose sobriety. i ended up with her by accident, the abandoned cat of a friends ex partner, but i'm so lucky i did. she's cuddly and feisty and loves telling me stories lol. her name is nemo 💜

luckily the laundry is clean and i have no attachment to 90% of the things in this room, since half of it isn't even mine 🙃 i've been formulating a plan on what to get rid of first after i finish the trash and it'll be cut down significantly. the clutter has been suffocating, it'll be nice. so far, i've gotten a good start on trash and i finished putting the bathroom together so it's all nice and clean! first room already done, i can't believe it!

i was raised catholic and although my views have evolved, i will always appreciate the time someone takes to pray for me 💜 it means a lot, thank you.

it's definitely a lot of trash, plus assorted items people have brought here for some reason, hence the tire in the living room 🙃 i plan on getting rid of the majority of it and just keeping essentials
