My Bedroom

[ACE]

this has been a very difficult problem for me for some time my bedroom.I know it's been cluttered up all due to OCD,there were times when I did make inroads but for a while now I've not felt like tackling the problem sadly.It's a bit strange in a way as I can get the optimism&confidence going especially when I'm out of the house but then I come home and I don't feel like doing anything about it.

It's not really like I get home in a sense and feel so down it's more I think my mood also and feeling I guess so tired,unmotivated&I know the struggle of tacking the problem due to the OCD&Anxiety.I've spoken to my Psychologist about this&of course my Dr&they said it's really my illness making me feel guilty thinking I should've done far more by now.

It's been a while since I've made such progress in there where I did get some things done in my room but for a while I haven't felt like tackling the problem.I get told to try&do a bit everyday but even that has seemed to be a fair bit of a struggle lately .

I experience the same - optimism and confidence when not actually around the clutter, but a change of heart when confronted with it. I try to work on it when I feel able. Some days I simply don't feel well enough or have the time. Try not to feel guilty, it won't help and you will face it when you can. What would be a simple job for some, without our condition, is a mammoth task for us!

My room is a bit clutted. I hoard a bit but not to bad. I have things on the floor and I think I'll tidy them up today and then when I look at it, I just don't feel the motivation. I tidy in bits to try and make it a bit easier.

Thanx very much for all your replies I know I don't intend to have my room the way it is.I think the guilt has eaten me up quite a bit and made me feel pretty guilty&having my room in my parents house the way it is even though I don't like to have it the way it is.I have the optimism&confidence but so often I've struggled with the motivation,anxiety&OCD which is the toughest point of it all really .
