The Hidden Door Chat Thread

[Rose Quartz]

Oh, man, I actually think I understand that.
Yesterday we went to clean out the house we're about to rent out -we've been living in it for two years- with the assumption that we only had a little work to do before we showed it to potential tenants.
...14 straight hours of organizing, packing, scrubbing, washing, and it still wasn't totally up-to-par.
And it's just Mom and I. No help. I can't even count the breakdowns. Thanks to severe Lyme, we're both having a pretty rough time mentally and to forget where we're going, what we're doing, or what we're saying within a matter of seconds is effortless. I'm not even going to get started on the psychical aspects. And when she (Mom) realizes just how bad her head is after losing her mother to dementia, it's tough for her to keep going.
It gets ugly. And really sad. But we make it. By ourselves. Day by day.
...I might've just overshared, but I definitely want to commiserate with you, Kate. Good enough is indeed good enough, and ya have to be proud of yourself for it.

Awwww, the head things sound like me too, I never remember anything. Hope you guys have a good day soon too.

Well, all the more kudos to you for getting things done. A compromised memory is a serious force to contend with. x-x

Awe, girl I'm so sorry you're going through so much right now. I understand how frustrating it is to constantly forget stuff, I've come close to having breakdowns because I cant concentrate on something for more then a few minutes and I forget things constantly to the point it's literally multiple times a day, everyday (pretty sure I have ADHD or something similar, just haven't been able to get diagnosed) so I understand.
I know you dont have much access to internet but my PMs are A L W A Y S open, if you didnt know already XD

XD Awwww hope you have a good day soon. I've managed to not have a complete meltdown, so there's that. But does sweeping all the garbage on the floor to a different room just to be able to say this one is clean count?

I may have moved most of the stuff that belongs in this room out just to have an almost bare wall. My boy is going to either complain or smell the bleach and know better than to say anything when he gets home.

You know what? Managing not to have a breakdown is a step. Managing to even sweep something is a step and it most definitely counts. Does it mean that pile of garbage might sit there for days until you get the energy to clean it?
...yeah. I've done it to. But you actually cleaned one room so of course it counts!

And I'm definitely proud of you, girl, for continuing on and getting through whatever it may be. Again, your good enough is more than enough, and you'd better BELIEVE IT, ya hear me?

...
oof
I needed that. Badly.
I won't bore you with my woes, but just know I'm so grateful for that, Sarah.

HAHAHAHAHH, you apparently have met me. I'm not touching the mess in the kitchen even though I'll have to walk on it constantly to make food, and it will make me crazy. It's not my job, someone else can do it.

The livingroom isn't done. but everything except one desktop has been completely cleared of clutter and wiped down so, I'M done.

Hah, I understand. Theres a pile that I have to walk through to get to my bed. Is it my mess? Yeah. Should I clean it up? Yeah, but I'm not gonna.

That's okay! You cant do everything in you day.

XD, Same though. I'm feeling a lot better now. Now that something's been done and I've had a minute to calm myself down.
