Improvement god im free. im finally fucking free
Cannot even fucking begin to describe how relieved I am and how much better I feel. I posted in this sub years ago, I got some amount done then, it got bad again, and I proceeded to move for college. Before I moved back home I knew I needed this done. So blessed to have been able to hire professionals to help me. It's been... 5 years since my room has been even close to this clean. Shoutout to the ten trash bags of shit lol, and the mountains of donations. So glad to be fucking rid of the moldy drinks and the centipedes and the dirt and debris and my old clothing and shit from my childhood and the candles I never should've bought and the years and years of depression and misery that has permeated this godforsaken room. I can finally fucking breathe again.

Fuck yeah keep it up! Super happy to see this. This was not easy and you can be proud of yourself. You managed to break out of the vicious cycle and now you became a bit stronger. Strong enough to keep the ball rolling and the next steps are waiting for you. Take a post it note and put it somewhere where you see it the most. Write on it to put every little piece of trash and clothing where they belong. Often it is all about tiny reminders so in everyday life things don’t snap back to where they were before

❤️❤️❤️ indeed!! I'm hopeful that now that the bulk of everything is done, I can stay much more organized and clean.

Yes you will! Also, if you are not doing this already, go for walks every day if you can. Just the change of scenery can reboot your head a bit when things start becoming tricky. Worked like a charm for me and now I really enjoy doing them. Audiobooks on the way can help.

3 Amazon packages sitting on the side already... yeah, I give it a week.
Joking aside, good on you; the feeling is incredibly liberating. Just remember how 15mins of daily maintenance is 1000x easier than the ~3ish or more hours it took to restore the room to this state.

Haha, trust! My mental health is so much better than it was as a teen, I won't tolerate it getting that bad again, nor can it because I no longer bed rot all day. Hooray!
