;-]

me too!

set small attainable goals for yourself. don't look at it as if you have to do ALL the laundry at one time. I have a laundry sorter and do a load a day usually. the laundry sorter helps keep the laundry manageable. as for the other chores, try to clean one room a day while a load of laundry is in. don't try to do the whole house.

once you accomplish just one thing each day you will feel like you are getting something done. if you take just an hour a day to do one thing it is better than trying to do it all at once.

small baby steps

I feel like I have to answer to someone (my husband) about what I get done versus what goes undone on a daily basis. He doesn't judge or chastise me, thankfully, but I feel guilty about not doing 'enough'. Its monumental if I get the dishes done daily. I tell him, "I'm trying. I'm doing my best." I don't know if I'm saying it for me or for him, but it gives me some slack.

I'm trying. I'm doing my best every day. That is all I can do.

If all you can get done today is SORTING your laundry, then that is all you can do. You're doing you're best.

You're aware. Your trying.

I know. Its hard and it sucks. You're not alone.

As angel says, baby steps! Don't try to put all the food onto one plate or it will spill over. Take one thing at a time and feel good about that one accomplishment. Hugs GB

I know ware you are comming from to ..you want to here somthing funny ..............just today .......my brother called and told me he was comming here on Saturday from out of towen ..we had decided earler that he would make me a rasin bread ..and I would make him some snow bals ......cookies .....so I already bought what I needed to get to make the snowballs ......and I was planing making them today .....after talking to my brother I got so tired and ...so overwhelmed .....that I just went to bed and pased out for 3 hours ............my h had a good laugh over that ....after I got up ...lol ........my brother ...knocked me out ..lol ..............now I have to make them tomorow ............so take care .....keep fighting ...and get enought rest ....God bless

Do one thing at a time. I leave dishes and laundry for last,because they are neverending. I do a bathroom at a time. Then put my things away one room at a time. Then dust one room at a time or however long i can do it. Then vacuum one room at a time (this part is pretty easy). Do dishes. Then laundry, cause you can fold them watching t.v. and the machine does the work.

Sometimes, I am surprised how therapeutic cleaning can be. Sometimes.

But once it's all done, you are going to feel soooo good about that you won't know what to do with yourself! You'll be feeling lazy in a really clean house. LoL

I wish I had your issue. I get manic and can't rest my head until I FEEL it's clean enough. I get so overworked and anxious over the stupidest crap. It once took me 2 hours to make my bed because I needed the lines and floral print to be perfect. Trust me, I don't have energy either, so when I fall into these episodes I feel completely enslaved in my own body. I've blacked out...I think I've sleep walked cleaned...

HUGS

K, there angeleyes.....gerrrr!

Where oh where I pray tell do I find and procure one of 'those' laundry sorters?

come on now give it up :)

I can so relate...I was given some advice I followed for awhile, but forgot about until just now. Instead of telling yourself you hv ALL this to do, and thinking example "I'll work 4 hours and take a break". Instead, say "I'll work, just 15 minutes, then take a break." then put timer on and try to just do chores for 15 minutes. Then you get your 4 hour break. if up to it, do another 15 minutes after your break. Then another 4 hour break.

I can totally relate. Lately everything feels so overwhelming and motivation has been a battle. All we can do is keep plugging away. Things will get better!

I don't have one. But I think you can buy a laundry sorter at target or other stores like that. It's just 3 laundry hampers hooked together in a row. By hampers, I mean, canvas or cloth bags. Or just get 3 boxes, or plastic containers or more. One for whites, one for darks, and one for heavily soiled stuff, or whatever labeling you wish.

I put on my radio and do chores for 15 minutes and then take a long break and read a favorite book!
