I just find it so hard, CBA to do the sodding housework! It's not even hard to do!, just incredibly boring!!!
I would love to have a nice tidy house but just can't seem to put in the effort to do it. I have a bit of social anxiety so don't feel like I want to go anywhere either.
I am just stuck in a boredom trap!!!

ThePsychicSatsuma · 22/02/2012 14:39

ThePsychicSatsuma · 22/02/2012 14:40

what kind of social anxiety? have you got a baby at home? are you working at all? anyone you can ring for a chat and a coffee? where are you in the UK?

Will try and look at the link later, thanks.
I have a preschooler and a child at school. I have seen my GP who referred me to MH. am waiting for counselling. I just need to find ways to cope till then.
I can do small amounts if I push myself, just have an overwhelming sense of CBA some times. Have no friends in RL.

Have you looked at yr consumption of fizzy sugary drinks and alcohol; do you smoke? Those can affect yr body negatively also yr mind of course. Too much wheat can also make you feel exhausted.

On a positive note cleanliness is more important than tidiness in yr. house IMO. Having happy L.O.'s is a priority.
