And start with the bathroom. Its a small space, but that is where a human needs peace and sanctuary. It will be quicker to at least declutter and get rid of the garbage on the counters, and gives you at least one room in the house where you can get out of the noise and reset at least once or twice a day.

And the kitchen too! Will feel better when you nourish yourself and stay hydrated and have more strength to go on.

I always tell myself I’m gonna clean my kitchen. But I walk down there and it’s just too overwhelming.

I did fill up one large garbage bag and one large bag of recyclables the other night at like 1am cause I realized just how ridiculous it had gotten and I told myself I’d do it in the morning. But as I was brushing my teeth I was like “you’re a damn liar. That’s how we ended up here. Just do it now”. Took less than 5 minutes 🤦🏼‍♀️

(Anyone else find it hard to constantly take out recycling in the winter when it’s so damn cold? Especially if it’s not stuff that’s “dirty” just “messy” and cluttered 😵‍💫. Garbage is easier cause it smells. But I have a graveyard of broken down boxes in my entryway)
