I love my house. I am 32 and have owned my own home for 2 years now. I’m a sole occupant and did it alone. I love the area, my neighbours, the house itself. But lately I’ve been feeling overwhelmed. I’m starting to see things that are annoying me, like marks in the paintwork, scratches on things, just general wear and tear on the house that I don’t like. I am exceptionally clean but have lately been comparing what I have to the fabulous things other people have on social media. Like Mrs Hinch’s fantastically spotless house and it is getting me down and overwhelming me about keeping my house to that standard. I know it sounds silly but I’m seeing small things of general wear and tear and it’s really bothering me. My house isn’t a new build (I wish I could afford that) but it is nice and the best that I can make it. Just there always seems to be something that needs done (or redone).
Is it strange to feel this overwhelmed about a house? There are things that need done but not immediately but they are really getting to me. Everyone tells me my house is so lovely, modern and homely (and clean) so I’m not sure if I’m being too hard on myself but it’s making me anxious
