Clutter & Depression Go Hand in Hand

http://www.yourmodernfamily.com/help-decluttering-my-home/

This is a very real thing for me. I know sometimes my family thinks I'm crazy, but clutter and 'stuff' completely overwhelms me. I LOVE getting rid of stuff, having a clean house and being organized.

HOWEVER, my house is rarely 'clean & tidy', there are always toys everywhere, my laundry is out of control and some days I'm so overwhelmed with it all that I want to crawl into a hole! 😬

What is one to do? I would love for these things not to bother me, to be able to say screw it and leave the mess without it affecting my day, but it's always on my mind!

Does anyone else feel the same? How do you cope? At times it's laughable - the things that can drive me mad (all the shoes in the entryway, the laundry that's not put away) But at the same time it's very real for me!

I have been slowly weeding out the things we don't need or use - but i still have a long way to go.

Have you seen the documentary The Minimalists? It's a great one, highly recommend if you're in the same boat!

All the best,

Mandy
