Hi, my situation is a little weird. I grew up with parents who hoard, and I picked up the habit along the way. However, whenever I moved into my college dorm room I had no problems keeping it clean. It was a little messy at times, but not anything out of the ordinary for a nineteen year old. I was forced to move out of the dorms last year and back in with my parents due to financial reasons. I am still in college, and I’ll be graduating this spring! However, whenever I moved back in I picked up the habit again and now it’s worse than it’s ever been. There were many traumatic events that happened to me in my parents house, my therapist thinks that’s why i’ve been struggling so much while living here again. My problem is that i’m tired of living like this, and I’m moving into an apartment with a friend in May. I need to start cleaning it up and getting ready to move, but I just don’t even know where to start. There’s laundry, books, shoes, shopping bags full of stuff i’ve never even taken out of them, and just so much stuff covering every inch of my floor. There’s trash all over my desk and vanity, and my bed is full of makeup. I have flies everywhere, the whole thing is so embarrassing and I’m mad I even let this happen. School starts Monday, tomorrow, and I think i’m going to devote the next few days to getting all of this weeks, and maybe next weeks, assignments out of the way. That way I can focus on working on this on my days off from work. I’m just ready to get out of this house and finally start healing again.
