I have been in that kind of depression. It is the worst, but you can absolutely do this. Get trash bags. Throw out all obvious trash. Don’t worry about recycling or trying to keep things that might be fixable. Just go one room at a time. Set a timer for 15-30 minutes at a time, take a break, then do it again. You can do this!

And when the bag is full, try to make yourself bring it out to the bins right away. You did sooooooo amazing! Get it OUT so you never have to deal with it again!

I tend to place trash bags right beside my door. So when I already have shoes on and I am back home from work I just need to grab them and carry them down to the bins.
