Hi, I'm posting in the hope of some advice, tips, encouragement... Anything really...
My house is a mess. my kitchen looks like a bad hoarders kitchen, table is unaccessible and the room and presses are all just packed with "stuff". It feels so overwhelming to even start to clear it but I need to do it. I have been putting it off for so long now, and it's really affecting my mental health. Even typing this is making me feel so anxious.
If anyone can help, or relate, I'd really appreciate it. I'm very embarrassed but hoping posting might help in some way
Thanks

Thanks guys, and anyone who wants to join is very welcome, nice to have the support and somewhere to check in... The tips are invaluable too.
I hit a bit of a wall, so instead of feeling defeated I'm giving myself a break and will get back into it. No point beating myself up. Plus I did a lot in a short while so I'm proud of that.
My house is very short on storage, I'm hoping I'll get rid of enough that I won't need storage!!!!

I’ll join! I hate mess and clutter, I cannot relax if there is ‘stuff’ around me….so why is my house in such disarray?! I have young children, work long hours and am generally exhausted all the time but I still can’t believe it’s got as bad as it has. Things are busy but life would be so much easier with less ‘stuff’ and better systems! I’m going to make myself sort some old clothes today…. We can do it!
