Hi, I am just finding this board. I am trapped by my house, and have no idea where to begin. I don't leave the house very often and when I do it is a big deal. If I know I need to leave the house the night before I can't sleep. It takes me several hours to get comfortable enough to to leave. Once I get to the place I need to be it takes me a while to get inside. Most people who know me have no idea that it is hard for me to leave the house. Now about my house, it is gross!! Cluttered, filthy, in disrepair and I have no idea where to start.I need repair people to come in, but I won't because this place is a sty. I hope you can help... Thanks! | |

Hi Sharyn, welcome! I'm not sure what to tell you about your struggles with leaving your house. Maybe some others will have some ideas. Lots of people here have been/still are struggling with letting repairmen in. Even after we get a little cleaned up we're so used to negatively reacting to the idea of people coming in that it's still stressful. But that does get easier. For now can you start by deciding what is really trash (old food containers, plastic wraps from toilet paper, used paper plates, etc.) and start bagging them and getting the bags out for trash pick-up? Come back and let us know how you do. 🙂 | |
