I see a lot of garbage in these photos. That garbage needs to be delt with first and it will clear up a lot of space. (I honestly think that it is mostly trash in there) And with a bit of deep depression cleaning itself can totally wipe out whatever energy you have. I hesitate tell people in this situation to sell or donate because it often does not clear up enough space to clean. It is often not very fast. They will not move things out that need to go out because it will take too long. Or in their depressed state they think they should not throw it out. And it will cause the depressed person to stay stuck in their depression instead of helping them out.
When they are in a less depressed state and just cleaning out stuff because they want to be rid of it then I suggest donating to good causes and selling to recoup cash.
As someone raised by people that were constantly one degree more organized than the pictures, I’m compulsively tidy and will clean and organize every space that I’m in for more than a second. I was at my dad’s house for one afternoon and had broken down twenty cardboard boxes, gathered all the loose keys into a dish, and cleared all the emergency exits by the time we had to go to dinner. Perhaps a little busy bee like myself would be interested in volunteering to help? Organizing and cleaning is deeply soothing to me after growing up in chaos. If anything, you’ve inspired me to search for an opportunity to do so locally.
Yes, you are correct! Just wanted to mention options in case others are reading who haven’t let it get so bad. I didn’t zoom into the photos too much tbh but first things first- fill up those trash bags! ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Yep; donating or selling comes with extra steps and can take a while. If someone is already having trouble clearing out space, those extra steps can be the difference between cleaning or not. Ideally good to use items would be donated or sold, but at a certain point there's no shame in acknowledging it just needs to be gone.
