My short run of weekly help came to an end today. All up I've made progress, I've dealt with quite a bit of stuff but realise there's a lot more to do. My aim was to see what I could achieve by Xmas and that still holds. 

Unfortunately I have a family member in a much worse situation. I've offered help and suggestions which they refuse and see as not respecting boundaries. I fear they have no insight into their dire conditions. They don't seem to realise the inevitability of (traumatic and unwelcome) outside intervention if things don't improve. I don't know what to do.

Thank you my dear friends for your caring messages and care ❤️ xxx

I am doing OK except the hoarding has now become dangerous as I have to climb over the stuff at two points and it's a trip hazard in the rest of the narrow pathways too. I'm just not coping with it, it's all become too huge to deal with. I spoke to my psychologist about it and also about taking a break from the forums as I have nothing to give at the moment. She said it was OK to take a break as I haven't really had once since starting in April 2020. So I might take off till Christmas...I will be around on Christmas Day for anyone who needs it. 

I hope you are OK, dear friends...sending you much 💛 💜 @Eve7  @Bow

Hello dear friends, I'm back...happy Christmas / holidays to you!

The break has done me good, I have something to give again now - alhough it hasn't done my house any good - it's even more out of control, almost unfunctional. I'm stopping the ordering things online now, and a friend is coming to help me in January. She's helped me before, years ago, and is non-judgemental. It's going to be really tough work. 

I will be around today for anyone who needs it - I don't celebrate Christmas as there were too many abusive Christmases all my life. 

I will gradually catch up on all your news...hoping you are all OK...
