Frozen
Posted: 01 October 2019 - 12:35 AM
 

I know I have shit to clean up, garbage to take out before it becomes a bigger problem than just flies. But I am frozen in place. I spend hours looking at the mess thinking about doing it making plans to take baby steps but seem to be paralyzed for days. I am new here & waiting for SteriClean to call with estimate to help. Oh how hard it was to contact them, but I can't seem to move.

Mostly venting but have others been frozen>

Hello Meg

WAY TO GO! for making that call to Steri-Clean!
That was very brave and I'm proud of you.

Everybody gets frozen with overwhelm when looking at a huge job.
So hard to decide where to start when everything needs to be done.

Good luck (((HUG)))

Hi! I feel exactly the same as Meg did (btw hope you're doing better!) Unfortunately I dont live in the States and the country I'
m living in now doesn't have support groups or companies to help in any way. What can I do to get started? Whenever I start cleaning I clean very little every day and then stop for maybe even a week and also every time I start cleaning my daughter tries to distract me, as 90% of the things are hers

Hi Dakota!

Come join us in "what did you do today" - that's where most of the action happens.

The biggest thing is to just get started, and keep starting again if you stop. It does get easier.

Different approaches work for different people. You can start on the area that bothers you most, or pick one tiny thing that you can finish quickly to hive you that "success" boost.

If you have health or safety issues, those are a good place to start because they are really important.

How old is your daughter?
