Hamster, your threads are truly inspiring, and there are so many things that we can learn from! This thread is amazing, and I appreciate the detailed descriptions on how you're organizing your life.

Do you have any "must have" suggestions for small spaces? As a college junior living in a tiny dorm room, it's hard to find space for the kind of organizing boxes and tools that you mentioned. I know I'd find them super useful, since just having a jewelry organizer has kind of changed my life (or at least, put some order upon the random trinkets I picked up during hypomanic shopping sprees).

Although I don't have a house, my life is kind of like a "down-sized" version of "real adult life". I have a fridge (I cook for myself), my own bathroom, laundry that I have to do, too many clothes and makeup (ah, hypomania and shopping), a ton of meds to keep in order, assignments and notes and bills that I struggle to keep organized, etc. Taxes. A part-time job.

It's all pretty overwhelming, more so for me than many of my peers because I am diagnosed with BP, non-verbal learning disorder, ADHD, and executive disfunction. When I got a psychiatric evaluation, I was advised to get a life coach so that I could get the organizational aspect of my life in order, but that's not really something that I can afford (not offered by my college's disability services either).

Any suggestions on how to get the organizing aspects of my life together? For example, I haven't done laundry in four weeks. I have a hamper, but the clothes are just on a pile on my floor. You posted some super helpful organizing suggestions on your other thread about simplifying things for the sake of sanity, but there were a lot of instructions, and I don't know if I have space for all the "tools" you suggested.

Love,
Allie
