I absolutely have this problem! The apartment is a mess, but it's so overwhelming to me. My negative self talk tells me that even if I started to clean, I'd screw it up. It's sooooo frustrating, because logically I know that's not true, and any cleaning would be good.

The only way I've been able to tackle jobs is to just tell myself I'll do a tiny thing that's really simple. Like put a couple glasses in the dishwasher. If I do that, I usually end up loading the whole dishwasher.

My self-esteem is at an all time low, too. My T tells me to use positive self talk, but it's really hard. She says the best way to get used to it is to do it on a good day. Can you try that?
