Hi everyone! Just saw this on Facebook and wanted to talk to others... I'm in a dark place :-(

Hi @AnneW welcome to the community, do you want to tell us a bit about yourself?

Senior online community officer -
I cant believe its been so long since I logged on here to talk. My place is still dark but I am trying to find some light. I have had fibromyalgia for over 20 yrs and arthritis in my spine and hips (the wear and tear kind but I don't know how to spell osteo) I have been unable to work for around 5 years as my illness has progressed and to date I have lost my self confidence alongside what friends I did have, my little dog stops me feeling lonely and the odd conversation or social interaction I do have leaves me exhausted so I tend to avoid those. I'm here to ask a question. My house is so cluttered its become a hazard to negotiate around, its not dirty, but probably very dusty. I'm not quite at 'hoarder' stage but I need help to organise and realise that I will have to pay for this, after which, my house needs a deep clean, I am virtually housebound so having a clean and tidy house would do much to improve my mood. Where do I start to look for a reputable service? I am on benefits so can't pay much but have been saving what I can to pay for this. Can anyone tell me where I can find such an angel?

Hi, thank you for your response, I seem to have found someone fairly local, shes coming to see me next week for a consultation. What did you have in mind?

Hi @AnneW, lovely to hear from you and another warm welcome to the community! I hope you're doing as well as possible.
Fingers crossed that your consultation with the potential cleaner goes well and you find the support you need. Do feel free to keep us updated, and if we can be of any assistance, do let us know. We have lots of friendly members here on the community who are always up for a chat!
