Finally have a clean and organized home

[Luna_Moth]

After years of struggling, I finally managed to upkeep my apartment. Before then I was a total wreck and unable to function, but now that I’m receiving mental help I’ve been functioning a lot better.

That's amazing @Luna_Moth definitely something to celebrate!

I’ve noticed that ever since my dad bought me a house that I pay him rent for, I’m more motivated to clean my home. I think it’s because I have so much more space than before.

I find it extremely important to keep my living place somewhat cleaned and organized. When I notice I am slipping from that I take time to look at what is going on in my life.

That's exciting! I'm planning some days to get mine done, too - I kept it up a lot when we had ministry activities (board meetigns, etc.) here and our church singles' group would occasionally come for parties, but it has felt a little like there isn't the need since - as I said in my intro - our director died a few years ago and our class doesn't meet for football games, etc. anymore. Though the one Adult Bible Fellowship class does have parties, it's usually at our church camp.

But I could always be ready to host one.

How you keep your living space is indeed a reflection of your mental space.

From experience it's difficult to do the opposite as in living in a tidy room only helps a little with my headspace, and only temporarily as well.

It is hard to feel good about yourself if you are living in a self induced S hole. Also there is a value in ritual and house keeping is a bit of a ritual. Every moment you are doing it you are telling yourself you are worthy of decent living conditions. There is a sense of accomplishment even if it is just doing the dishes. I am no neat freak but I find it an important in dealing with the hand I was dealt.

Yeah, I do it even when I feel like shit. It’s what I’m feeling right now.

I do it particularly when I feel like shit. It lifts me out of the abyss.
