I had received new coffee mixes today and i already put them away on the shelf. I also unpacked a box of riced broccoli (dry). Cus sometimes i look at my house and say, ya know, if you did just one box a day, it would eventually get done! Or at least be less than it is! I am also peeing today - i take my diuretic twice a week, and i am kind of uncomfortable on those days. So i am doing pretty well considering.

Woohoo! Lots of victories!
I still am happy with my fridge though I'm back to just jamming stuff in anywhere. I moved the shelves into a new configuration and like it much better than the old one - even if it is a mess, it is easier to see leftovers in the back. I need to tackle the kitchen today. |

My house is so trashed. I keep clearing things off and then piling them up again.

I have been piling stuff up on one of the couches. I think it is because I am now working from the dining room table and when we eat, I move everything to the nearby couch and leave it there.
A friend is coming over this morning and I will need to do some kind of blitz to get this place presentable. It will probably involve moving a bunch of stuff upstairs. |

Im breaking down the mountain of carp. Ive cleared a few square feet in front of the front door. Pretty soon i will be able to fit a grocery cart in here so i can pack up and throw out maybe 4 bags at a time. That would really cut down number of trips to do this. I am shooting for maintenance to convert the a/c in two weeks and for this place not to be horrifying when they come in.

Well i didnt make my air conditioner maintenance deadline, but i have been taking stuff down in a shopping cart, so half-win! The next run will be my last old box recycle trip.
I feel like i am making progress. Altho i was just sitting there in front of the pile thinking, "This could occupy me for the rest of my days." |

There's a book about the magic of tidying by Marie Kondo. In her books, she discusses the KonMari method (based on Japanese culture). She states that it's okay to thank your gifts and other things you plan to donate or put to rest, and then to release them. That way, you honor them as gifts, but you do not need to feel guilty about giving them away or releasing them to the abyss (when you throw them in the trash). So that's one method.
If you feel like your life is empty without all that stuff, you could perhaps speak with a therapist that specializes in anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder to help. You may not have OCD, but you could have anxiety, based on what you described. They could help with finding you an organizer, who can help you through the process of giving things away. That's another method or idea. Here are some mental health resources for hoarding disorder: Mayo Clinic American Psychological Association (APA) American Psychiatric Association International OCD Foundation The Center for Treatment of Anxiety and Mood Disorders Cleveland Clinic Very Well Mind Very Well Health Social Work Today Medical News Today |
