Thanks for your beautiful message @Dimity ❤️
It sounds like on Thursday you needed to offload to your helper...I think it's a good thing you were able to do that. I am so sorry that you probably have cPTSD 😞 Also that you're feeling completely overwhelmed and panicky about your house 😞
Yet you still managed to declutter some papers, well done.
I didn't achieve much yesterday but this morning am feeling a little better (touch wood). I decided to risk 20 minutes of the therapy light box this morning...it was so bright and friendly, it was lovely. Yesterday I was trying my old trick that usually works well, starting in the bedroom at the neat-ish, clean-ish end of the house and working to the other, chaotic, end of the house. That didn't work for once, so today I think I will prioritise and tackle the small kitchen bench, which is almost unfunctional, and the lounge-room bags on the floor. I am out of grocery bags so need to wash some today.
My nice neighbour gave me 4 salvias the other day...she also gave my neighbour who is on NDIS 4 salvias. Sadly this neighbour won't take care of them, so I'll have to. So I am tossing up whether to increase my huge watering burden in summer by planting my 4 salvias, or giving them back. They are purple, hot pink and a lovely white-and-pink one. Either way, I can't cope with planting them yet anyway, till the house is a bit functional. I'm not even talking about decluttering the hoard, just basic getting the house functional!

This is lovely, thank you ❤️
Will you bring up the cPTSD to your psychologist and psychiatrist?
Sending wishes that you feel a bit stronger today 💚
