I've hoovered 4th time today

Done some washing

I feel very tired today

Schildpad · July 27

evening,,,, not particularly ok… so anxious….. i have been throwing away some boxes… i am the type of person who tend to keep always the box of stuff i buy. but it is a bad habit as i tend to keep the item until it breaks itself. i guess is the hope of selling the stuff if unhappy etc… but it is a habit who does not help me as i am also a bit of a hoarder..

the worse is having empty boxes even keeping the blisters of medicines and its boxes.. i am not sure why.. as it is depressing to see the amount of medication i have been having over the years. that is another thing to do….. getting rid of it. but i am happy as i have got rid off a few boxes of stuff i am happy with and will stay with me. also boxes and envelopes from amazon also some boxes… it has to go as well. … i just do not know why do i keep it .. always for the just in case… handy if selling stuff in ebay but with the situation of the benefits.. i have not done so for longer than i am in benefits… a lot longer.. not sure why do i tell you all this… not a secret really… friends now.. i feel i will be a bit more at peace and less anxious if i get rid off stuff i do not need.. but it is not easy. i need to change things about myself… stop buying things i do not need … in particular food… i am getting there. next goal is decluttering in every sense.. things i can not nor never will is paperwork but the rest… really it has to go… if i could sell stuff i would in ebay but the system is even stopping you from doing that.. maybe donate.. it is a good possibility ,,

sorry about the long message. i just start and i can not stop..

good evening…… and till tomorrow..

JJust Getting over the football, i got very excited. My family think I have ADHD if they seen me tonight, i think they would be right. Something to cheer about for a change. Hope everyone else is having a good evening.

I'm the same with food and the crazy thing is all I eat is a snack in the afternoon amd a salad at night with a treat but when shopping I think oh I'd like that so buy stuff for mince roast dinner veg soups and I never eat them and when I am hungry I've let sell by date it's like I'm keeping it for a special occasion or a treat I took myself off online banking which has helped me not order facecreams because I don't even know how much is in my account and don't want to go out to check in every draw I have creams perfumes it's bad to an outsider it would be like wow where she get all this from for me it's a problem I will buy stuff and not pay bills always something psychological about it

@Schildpad @Catherine21 I have borderline personality disorder and alot of other things. Like you both I have problems buying things I don't need, it would be snacks and an obsession buying things from. B&M and similar shops and catalogues. At the time I was doing this.i had a care coordinator, she was my councilor and with her help i understood that this behaviour for me had stemmed from childhood trauma's and I was self soothing myself. I got into debt but I went to step change and my debts will all be paid off by next March.

I still have struggles with this behaviour especially during lockdown I got addicted to auctions on a jewellery site. My problem recently came to light when my mum and Niece started helping to get rid of things I had hoarded, it was organised hoarding as in it was put away but my mum was exasperated with the clothes that still had lables on them and the huge quantity of individual gift bags with jewellery, i excepted my problem and my mum and Niece come every Tuesday and my carer, and they help me go through everything and I donate alot to charity , and give to other people. Ii don't find it easy but ive got to a place where I have alot less clutter and I rarely look or buy from the sites anymore.

I think sharing the habit has helped me come to terms with it and I'm now pleased I don't have to find new hiding places and I've found so many things that I hadn't remembered having, I really appreciate having their help even though I sometimes get overwhelmed.

hey, is been very mixed week and i'm doing okay now but my mum still having more issue and i was at city centre . so i can't seem to get break from my mum no matter . Still has another mixed week again.

Elvisdog · July 28

Good morning to everyone, i didn't go to bed until 5am I got up at 9am for my carerr, but i actually feel like cleaning my kitchen i don't feel tired. I can't say how I'll feel later but I'm glad to be feeling up to giving my kitchen a clean, even though I'm on my chair doing it.

luvpink · July 28

I am so tired today but I'm going to make the effort to go out later for some fresh sea air.

Amberpearl · July 28

I'm. Very tired today

Schildpad · July 28

@Elvisdog @Catherine21

It is to do with childhood trauma. Yes.. I am working on stuff.. I will keep cleaning. My goal is to reduce the amount of stuff etc.. to buy less and hopefully I will feel better.

Tomorrow I got that phonecall from the.dwp about the new style ESA. Not sure. I thought ESA was not more… anyway. I hope it will be ok. But always scared they will trick me..

I am on my Monday stuff. But back at home by 4 pm I hope. It is hard to keep going .. I need to start considering a part time job but I am not sure what could I do . I can't picture myself doing it....

Schildpad · July 28

I am ok but I normally feel worse in the evenings.. the days are long .... But I am going to places I have to go to see some people because I spend a lot and I mean a lot of my time on my own... I need to change things about myself . My mindset. Hopefully one day I would be able to do something. Workwise.

How is your day going?
