Chronic Disorganization

We only achieved 2 bags of trash yesterday. It was a little bit of a bummer. Today, it is already 4:00pm and we haven't even started...another bummer. Chris lost his momentum yesterday and broke down--he was terribly upset about our finances, his weight and the house. We watch Hoarders last night with the girls so they could see what we were trying to do. I think they understood. But, it's an emotional ride. It's a mental thing too. I don't thing it's incurable like Bipolar. I think that we have to get past the blockage that made us this way. On one episode it described a guy as "chronic disorganization" which is us. This can lead to hoarding. We are definitely hoarders. I can barely let go of certain things. I cannot focus--ADD tends to be associated with chronic disorganization. Trauma, like my parents' divorce, or in Chris's case, his parents refusing to accept me, can exacerbate this problem.

I ended up staying up until 2 am to fill a trash bag...Ended up filling one and 1/2...My Master Bedroom has a floor--imagine that! I don't think I will get it done by this weekend but if I can get all my stuff into one room, in containers, and every other room organized then I am WAY ahead...
