Never will sort all of them??? I am right there with you on that one. I know there are just some things about myself that I don't think I can ever fix.
Sometimes simple things for another person seems insurmountable for me. For example paying my bills. I don't read my mail and don't keep bills in the same place month to month so quite a few times I have had my electric or water turned off not because I didn't have the money but because I simply neglected to pay them. I still can't keep the mail sorted but I can call the offices to pay my electric and water. That is the best I can do at this time with that problem.
And that is a relatively simple problem. I have many problems as it appears that you do also and I understand how truly overwhelming it can be when you cannot solve them.
Start with something relatively small that you want to be different in your life. Sit down with a paper and pen and just dream away at what you would like your life to be. Make short term goals like taking out the trash, doing a load of laundry, cooking a meal. Then think about what would be a long term goal. It may take some time to find out what that may be. One of my long term goals is returning to work part time. I am not ready yet and don't know when I will be, if ever, but it is something I want even though it is beyond my reach today.
It sounds easy on paper I know but I am struggling to do some of the things I ask you to do. For example, cooking a meal. Sounds simple enough but I don't have any clean dishes to cook with. Usually I heat something in the microwave that doesn't require dishes.
If there were only one thing you could do a bit better during this month what might it be? Not doing it perfect but just doing it better.
When you have a list of your short term goals pick one thing and if at first you can't conquer it try a different solution. Keep working at it until you can manage one small thing in your life.
