Please don't tell me to be grateful. I don't want this. I am OVERWHELMED.
I hate this house. It's big and too much for me to deal with. I feel as if I have lost control and don't know where to begin. Depression wants me to stay home, but it's really anxiety-inducing to be here. Common sense tells me how to deal with it, but I can't do it. It's too much of everything for me and I panic. I really hesitated posting this because of the fallout, so please don't comment if you only have something negative to say. I am in full realization of my luck, and I'm just ranting really, anyway. |

I don't want to intrude, and I don't know what your issues are (I'm 98% agoraphobic), but why not just walk outside the door and breathe in some fresh air?

You go at your own pace. Anyone who sends negative thoughts should be kept out of your life. Maybe just go around the block for some fresh air. Take it slowly, one step at a time

Thanks flj. It's not so much the fact that I could go outside. It's just that I don't WANT this house and this stuff.
I hate feeling overwhelmed because I'm a Virgo, (we're kind of ****-retentive...). I just can't make an effort. But I was not raised with the word "can't", and so, that gives me a great deal of anxiety. It's a dead-end that I have no choice but go down. |

What about the house is overwhelming? Is it the cleaning and tidying etc? I find that overwhelms me a lot ((hugz))

Is there a posibilty that you could look for a smaller place? Too much space bothers me too. It's just overwhelming. Hope you get to feeling better

There is no judgement here. If the situation allows, then moving isn't unreasonable. Just curious if the panic lies deeper than you realize. I hope you find some peace

I don't have an answer other than selling it if you're able and getting a smaller place. You said you don't want the house or the things - maybe you want to simplify your life?
I go outside and sit on my deck when I'm feeling like this. Best of luck and I'm hoping you find a solution.

I'm sorry you are feeling overwhelmed. Is there part of the house that you could make your own smaller spaces, and get acquainted with the rest of the house a bit at a time?
Take good care Jade |
