I have thought about hiring a cleaning service to come and do the cleaning, but I need to declutter and get rid of the mess before anyone could come in. I feel bad for the kids because they don't get to have friends over because I am too embarrassed. My T keeps quoting Dr Seuss to me: "Those who matter don't mind; those who mind don't matter." I try to take that to heart. It's still hard to not feel that sense of shame. I always get nervous when someone is due to come over, like a repair person, because I am always afraid someone is going to report me to authorities. It's an irrational fear of mine.

with another friend of mine who is also a messy one (no official diagnonse
) we joked when our moms were to visit us on the dorm that we need to "turn the room in mausoleum". My mom gets pretty crazy when she is expecting guests with making the place clean. I simply don't care all that much. Nothing is crawling out of my things, it is just I don't organize things... I just don't see it as practical and have to invented a workable system yet.
I always tell my friends to PLEASE not to go on cleanomania when I am to visit them... because I acknowledge that place that is lived in can be messy.
