I don't know if this is the start of ocd or whether I've just always been like this, i have owned a lovely 3 bed house for 7 years now (just for reference also kids and 8 and 6) weve had it all redone to our taste and I loved it but I still feel its just not right but can't put a reason as to to why.

And as for cleaning or decluttering im not even joking I can spend the whole day tidying cleaning and will get rid of lots of things but then I get this feeling inside like it still looks cramped or there is still more that needs tidying or cleaning. I cant quite explain it either but is there anyone else who gets these thoughts?

Have you spoken to a GP?

I get this, but it's because I live in a run down rental property with lots of cobwebs, chipped paint and tattered carpets. Everyone is so happy now that the sun is out but all it does is highlight what looks like dirt in my house.

I used to feel like this but I don’t now as I took a more ruthless approach to decluttering and made a conscious effort to get rid of about 50% of everything we own. It took about two years though and it was a continuous and conscious process.
Hard to say if you have too much stuff still or if it’s a different issue.

Oh, total shithole.
We lovingly renovated from top to bottom when we bought it.
2 boys later and a husband that truly doesn’t give a flying fuck about living in a dirty, cluttered, shit tip, nothing I do makes it better.
It needs hugely clearing of husband and kids crap. Needs decorating, repairs, deep cleaning.
But whatever I do, gets undone within hours by any one of them.

So I can’t and never will be able to win.
