What state do you live in. I have experience with organizing and am recently retired from the Postal Service. Would love to help someone,and disagree with the Tv shows where they pitch everything so fast.

New and desperate,

It could have been me that wrote this. I am in the exact same situation. Everything. I'm a single mother of one and my depression has been crippling. I function on the outside. I work a great job but when I come home physically I cannot move. I know what I need to do.

I wanted to write to see how you are doing?

I'm new to this. I never considered myself a hoarder. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression, which has pretty much paralyzed me for the past 10 years. I function on the outside, I have a wonderful job that I love and kids. I stay in my room all day when I'm not working because it depresses me to walk thru the house.
Recently we found we have a severe rat problem. So bad, they have eaten and destroyed all the water lines in the ceiling which caused major damage and we now have no ceiling. Every single room is cluttered with crap. I gave up on housework years ago. I try to keep the kitchen clean, but the rest of the house is a filthy mess. Unsanitary. I don't know where to start. Please help me. I want to get my life back in control. :(
