When I get mad... I get extremely mad!! I don't know how to handle this. I tell myself to just shut up but when I get so mad I just say things that hurt the one I'm talking to. I get to a point where I honestly don't care.
One of my biggest triggers is clutter! Its my worst one. Problem is, there is ALWAYS clutter! I try my best to keep the family organized but I feel it's me against everyone else. If I don't do it, it doesn't get done. Clutter can make me okay to instant rage inside. Anyone else have this problem? I'm bad at starting projects that I have a hard time finishing which makes everything so much more stressful. |

Not I. I live in a pig stye. No rage whatsoever. It's my own doing though. I just can't get it together and get it clean.

I'm the same as Risu, I sort of leave things around and I'm perfectly okay with it.
When I get in a better mood I may vacuum or move some things around, but yea.... That's a rare occasion.

Clutter doesn't bother me at any one else's house but my own. When I was a little girl my mother would scream and yell about how worthless we are for not keeping everything spotless. I wonder if this is the reason I am like this. I hate it though. I wish I could just get up and do it instead of allow it to pile up then complain about it.

Yeah, when I'm hypo I'll clean like crazy, but that's about the only time. Or if my parents are coming to visit :P

Lol! Yeah I clean the most right before guests show up. Then I have those oh so amazing moments when parents show up unexpected and I'm running around like a maniac the 30sec before they get to the door.

Clutter makes me rage too. Specifically my son's clutter because it is everywhere! It's like my grandpa used to say, "a clean ship is a happy ship."

Ironically my mania ended right after we had to move 2x in 2weeks. It was a mess! First house had lots of problems so we had to move again right after unpacking.
It wasn't too long after that the depression started again. I was literally climbing over furniture to get to my kitchen. |

My son's clutter makes me furious because it takes so much effort to clean, and then he junks it up again in like a minute. His messes are about 90% of my explosions. I hate it all. My mood is so much more pleasant if my house is clean, but it almost never is.
My oven broke Thursday, and I haven't called the rental office to get it fixed because my house is a mess. The anxiety of both having to clean and having a broken oven is killing me. |

I have clutter as well and I work on it during the weekends, but I can only work on my stuff and it's only the stuff that I have accumulated over the week on my kitchen table. The rest of it is my husbands. I grew up with a mother and grandmother who were hoarders, so I don't let it get crazy out of control. Right now the areas in the house that are cluttered is my husbands junk. Every now and then we get in a fight about it because I can't stand it because of how I grew up. Of course he cleans it up and then it starts all over. I get really bad in the spring when I get hypo and want to deep clean everything, then I get extra crazy mad. So yes I can relate a tad bit.

I hate clutter too, but just in the kitchen and living room. It really stresses me out. And no matter what I always end up having to clean up everything twice a day! So, I can understand your frustration.

We have a lot of clutter but it makes me feel so overwhelmed. It's like the more clutter there is the less likely I am to clean it because it's just too much to deal with. I do feel so much better with a clean house. I find usually my house is either spic and span or a total disaster...no in between. Makes sense.

I have found that by having clutter keeps people out of my sanctuary

I have that problem. My house is carpeted and its black. I vacuum twice a day in the summer. Sometimes the smallest crumb will set me off. I try to clam my self but with a family it is really hard. I try to put myself in my kids position. Remembering that when I was a kid playing I'd go from one thing to another not noticing the mess I made. It helps a little.

The more clutter the less likely I am to do it.. That's me exactly as well. I get overwhelmed... Then angery, then snap.
I always snap on my husband. It's a good thing he's supportive most of the time. No other man could handle me!! I'm very grateful for him... In this moment of time ![]() |
