Hello Cuehip,I fear the clutter and the house getting unmanageble which it did in 2010,there was so much junk I couldn't move.I needed practical help to sort it as I was too ill for heavy lifting and had no transport.Someone did help me in the end but I had about eight bags of paper recycling which I sorted myself.I didn't like throwing things out but it had to be done.There were old exercise machines and cd players and as well as that all my clothes were a mixed up mess,different sizes from me losing weight then gaining back again.
With all the stuff and me being ill I couldn't keep up with the housework.

Now it is sorted,I can move around but I have a plastic bag full of odd bits of stuff I have to keep,with odd tablets I use occasionally and nail varnish remover, different phone covers,cough sweets and my new phone box that it came in and I get dizzy when I think of that bag.I still have too many books and CD's and the memory of 2010 sometimes makes me feel the house is in chaos again like it was back then.I keep on top of stuff now and have a regular clean out and send stuff to the charity shops.

I don't like to have too much stuff and I hate clutter but I have a lot of stuff for just me really!
It feels chaotic at times but it isn't anywhere as bad as it was,and back then it was made worst by my sister who deliberately sabotaged things in my home,she made the toilet cysten leak and took the wood out of the back of the bath so water would leak down there.She wanted me too ill and the house to be a mess so I couldn't cope and it would be too much for anyone to help me with,I didn't know people who cared you see.I threw myself in front of a car because of her and was set on killing myself which I didn't know back then she engineered this to happen because she wanted me dead and to get money from my will!

It is hard when your home gets uncontrollably cluttered,I feel for you and am sorry.I hope you get help to sort it out and once sorted that you can keep on top of it and stay clear of mess and safe!I have many physical illnesses as well as mental health illness so it is often hard to have the physical strength to do the chores and the DIY in the home.I worry about things when I can't do them myself.So far am managing but last year got a man in to cut the hedges cos physically it was too hard.I need some decorating done too but will need to go very slowly to do it myself.I am not that strong physically and never have done.It is a worry,I do manage to do the washing up,mop the floor,keep the kitchen and bathroom clean and do my laundry and ironing,in the summer I have the garden to maintain too,cutting the grass, pruning etc

I struggle but get it done I need to keep active after all!
I wish you all the best sorting your home out I hope it gets done to your liking!
