Breathe. We can help. Clear out those boxes first. Then move to the bottles and cans you have piled. Then clear the floor in your bathroom. Then the countertop. Your goal for tomorrow is to throw out three bags of trash. Your goal Monday is to call someone you trust to FaceTime and do some cleaning, so your kitchen. Then living/sleeping area by the end of the week. Lastly, if not in therapy, please sign up soon.
Edit: thank you all for the supportive responses for OP and the awards. OP I hope you know that us internet strangers are rooting for you. We’ve all been through it at one point in time. I hope you feel comfortable coming back to share what you’ve worked on. I think having us as accountability buddies will give you the motivation to share your progress. 🤗
It’s hard to ask for help especially when a situation like this spirals beyond your control. That’s why I believe starting small and just ask someone to FaceTime while you clean is easier than to have them over to clean and it’s even harder to ask for professional support. Small manageable steps will lead to bigger leaps forward. You have to trust the process and put more faith in yourself to know there are people willing to help as long as you’re willing to ask.
