To feel ridiculously proud of myself?

[Hidingtonothing]

I suffer with depression and have really let my house get on top of me, some rooms were bordering on hoarder territory. This week I have disposed of 30 black bags of rubbish (from one room ) and now have one completely clean, free from crap room. It’s spurring me on massively to do the rest and I finally feel like something has shifted in me and I can do this, I can have a clean, properly organised house. I know it’s a small thing in the grand scheme but it’s making me so happy and proud I had to have a little crow, hope you don’t mind

YANBU at all. We've justoced house so we are still unpacking boxes. It makes me feel miserable.

That is a great achievement well done you!!!

Massive hugs and congratulations to you OP. Mine isn’t near anywhere near as bad but it is far, far too cluttered and needs sorting. If you don’t mind I’m going to use you as my inspiration this week. We can do it!

Well done!!!!!
It’s an amazing feeling just get rid of stuff isn’t it?
But remember to keep that room clear of crap!
Don’t move things from other rooms into it (it’s my worse tidying trait!).
What room is on your list?

That's fantastic OP, what a great achievement for you! Crow away, you deserve to feel proud of this

That’s brilliant! There’s a lot of truth to the expression “tidy house tidy mind”. Hope this upward curve continues for you 😊

That's great. Well done OP. My username is aspirational and not descriptive. I am a borderline hoarder and surrounded by crap but if feel like getting up and doing something about it now.

Congratulations! Keep going. Having a clean, beautiful, manageable space free from crap makes such a difference to your mood and stops you from feeling so overwhelmed.

That is a massive achievement. And now your inspiring other people. Well done .

Not unreasonable at all, nor ridiculous either! Crow away :) Once it's organised it'll be easier to keep on top of, too.

I've been tidying up whilst DS has been away staying with his brothers at the other end of the country. Many things have gone to the dump and the remainder have been put away in sensible places. He'll probably think he's come back to the wrong house! (Shame about the garden, but one thing at a time eh?)

Wow! Well done! I could certainly get 30 black bags of out some of my rooms, but I doubt if I could do it all in one week. Keep that room clean and nice, and go and sit in it with a coffee and a book now and again (I don't care if it's the bathroom!) to keep you motivated for the rest.

And remember, if you have a bad day, it's just that - one bad day - not the beginning of the end. If the overall trend is up, it doesn't matter how many dips there are.

Well done OP
I was you just a short while ago (I also posted on here)
Be proud. You’re amazing. Enjoy the feeling.

YANBU. Well done you

Fantastic. Very well done. I am prone to dark spells as well and a good clear out really helps the mind and soul!!!

I dont know you but im proud of you. I have similar issues so i know what a big dealthis is!

Well done! Enjoy every minute of your newly-tidy room. 30 bags of rubbish is loads - think you have inspired me to sort out my messy sitting room

Brilliant!!

It's not small it's incredibly massive. Feel free to post pics too for encouragement and buckets of praise. I applaud you x

Bloody awesome! Well done you!

WOW!!!! This is really amazing. Very well done!

Amazing! Well done!!!

Will you come and do mine next please...

Well done! That's a fantastic achievement!

Well done
