My clutter waxes and wanes with my mood.
Has been that way since I was a teen.

If I'm in a good / excellent mood, cant stand clutter, if I'm depro and stressed, my room looks like I feel.
A mess.

My family can always tell my state of mind by the state of my room...

Thankfully its just a clothing bomb, I dont hoard, regularly throw out stuff I haven't seen or used recently and cant stand filth.

Whenever I get a really strong urge to spring clean and my OCD is kicking in, I know a hypo is on the horizon.

I hate it though, because it amounts to hours of obsessive cleaning and organizing that I can never keep in tact. Feels like such a waste.

And yes, cleaning reduces me to tears quite literally when I'm depressed and overwhelmed... But if I really have no choice, I set a 15 minute timer and attempt to clean in 15 minute bursts... Not always successful, usually OCD kicks in and I go full steam ahead in tears, or chuck it in the fuqit bucket and cry under the covers.

It could go either way.

I've never thought of it as a BP thing, but my BP definitely affects my tolerance for mess.

Dont care what's to blame though, Patrick Jane (The Mentalist) said messy women are excellent lovers.
