I think many people with MI go through clutter phases..I know I did. It was the depression-just no energy to sort stuff-so it piled up. Then,as many said,you always think it's something you might use...so you save it. Someone once told me-and it helped-make 4 piles: garbage,donate,might need, save. The might need pile was boxed up,if not use those items in 6 months/get rid of it-because you never missed it. Also as the piles get larger-just gets more overwhelming. Don't give up-you can go through it. Pick small goals-like clean these 2 shelves today-then do it!I found it easier break it into tiny tasks I could accomplish. Then I felt good/more energized that I did something. There is 12 step group-clutterers anonymous. Just like AA group. Good luck
