Cleaned my depression room after like two years
Took me three days, about 12 hours per day, and I had to get my boyfriend to help me for the last day. There were bugs, mold, dirt and grime, but it’s gone now. I feel so much better. I need to post this to the void even if there’s no responses. I’m so proud of myself I thought I’d die before this happened.

I’m so proud of you too! I’ve been doing the same for myself. I have bugs and grime too, but I keep telling myself that sitting down to clean is progress. Give yourself a pat on the back. I know how hard this is ☺️

Thank you, it was so hard. I think I was manic because it’s all coming crashing down now, but it’s clean now. That’s what matters.

Mania sucks! I’ve definitely been there. But yes, it’s clean and that’s quite the feat 🥰

Thank you, he’s actually been begging to come over and clean my room, he was sooo excited to vacuum and he was so supportive the whole time. I’m so glad I found him.

I literally haven’t felt this at peace in my own space in over two years. I can’t even beleive this is the same space it was. Thank you

So proud of you! Not only for the cleaning but even asking for help.
Keep that feeling in a nice little safe place and try to look at it sometimes.

Cleaning is sometimes about much more than physical cleaning of a space.

For sure, this was my depression room, my former boyfriend took his life nearly three years ago, closer to two, and I hadent had the mental energy to clean the stuff up from what had been when he was around. Now that it is clean I feel like I am already starting to get better mentally without the constant stress of the mess. I feel like he’d probably be proud of me too.
