There is something terribly therapeutic about filling a garbage bag and throwing it away. It's just so satisfying! Hope you are doing ok. You did a ton of work!

My son's room got like this when he was around 17. He didn't want me to go in there but it was obviously too overwhelming for him to tackle. Then he went away for a week. Finally I had to take action. Cleared up, redecorated into a cool space, painted furniture, new blinds and light fittings. When I picked him up I didn't say a word. Just waited until he went upstairs and all I could hear was "No way ......No way". It was an amazing moment for both of us. Next day he said it had been like staying in a hotel. Love him. Now he's the opposite, a complete neat freak & I'm the untidy one! 😃

Depression is one of the most evil insidious mental illnesses I've ever encountered. And the people who not only battle with it but overcome it are amazing. I've dealt with it myself and have fought the desire to unalive myself too. This video is so important and hey I hope you feel so much better for it!

Why do people overlook the fact that so many people’s rooms look like this because of lack of motivation, and it takes a lot of guts to post something like this. Proud of you

Imagine this then taking a shower and lying in bed after a hard days works cleaning 😍

I love that peoole have learned to respect these kinds of videos for what they are. These used to get so much hate when people first started. The amount of guts it takes to out yourself on a situation like this then actively fix it to an audience is just inspiring. I've had messy rooms that were cleaned by the grace of a motivational video such as this. It's not only entertaining but it's useful too.

Thank you for posting this. I found it so motivational. I used to be an extremely tidy neat freak, but when I began to suffer from depression a few years ago I really started slacking on keeping up with certain things. This gave me the inspiration to get up and do a deep clean of my house today. Thank you

Thank you for shearing this! Having depression isn't easy, but depressed people tend to blame theirselves for not getting the easiest things done. This helped me really to realise that I'm not alone with this and its okay to get help from the 'outside' via your video

*time lapse* me in real life when my mom says she's gonna reach home by 10 mins

This helped me . Thank you for posting this. I'm 8 weeks pregnant with hyperemesis gravidarum and I have been so sick that it put me into a depression. I didnt do dishes for over 2 weeks. After watching this I got up and put a load in the dishwasher. It doesnt sound like much to some people but when you're hurled over the toilet vomiting 24/7 dishes are the last thing you want to do. Good job and thank you again

8 months pregnant and due in 20 days! This is great inspiration to get my room ready and cleaned for me when I get done and to tackle getting my baby's stuff ready for when she comes. I usually seek motivation because of how tiring it is to do things now a days I mean even bending down takes the breath out of me but videos like these get me really motivated and now my room is clean and baby stuff is as ready as it can be to we get closer to the due date! Thank you so much

I love how nice people are being about this. I feel that it’s so easy to jump to conclusions, seeing people be more understanding is a breath of fresh air.

I can’t even imagine how amazing you felt afterwards

As someone who has found themselves sleeping on the living room floor because there was literally no other surface to sleep on.. thank you for posting this. I hate looking for cleaning inspiration and all I can find is clean homes that need a 5 minute quick clean.. Like no I gotta CLEAN. It's amazing to see it get done because I know first hand how hard it is to clean that. 👏👏👏👏👏 Seriously, amazing job.

let’s realize this isn’t a choice. we don’t choose to let our rooms get this way. it’s a byproduct of depression

Tips: clean it every night right before you go to bed that way it only takes 5 minutes or so, also make sure that everything is in a spot where it is easy to access so it’s also easy to put away, or else you may stop putting it back. But great job!! I bet you felt amazing after this clean :)

I got severe depression when I was 11, my room looked like this for quite a few years, when I was 12 ants infested my bed and I just slept next to them cause I didn‘t want to take food off my bed since it was the only way I would eat. Then I did this when I was about 14/15, just got rid of so much shit cause it accumulated in my room over literally my whole life, and ever since I‘ve stayed relatively tidy. I got into the habit of keeping organized, not buying things I don‘t really need or don‘t have the space for (so for example if I really want some new clothes I‘ll get rid of old stuff), and trying to just put stuff away immediately when I‘m done using it. My room still gets cluttered quite often but I‘m way quicker to clean it up, at the very least once a week but if I‘m doing well it‘ll always be tidy. Even though I was still suicidal till I was medicated late last year (at 20 years old) this method worked well for me for a while. If I don‘t have too much stuff in the first place then I won‘t have an opportunity to let it build up. Also to anyone who‘s suffering like this now, I feel your pain so much and I wish you the best and I hope you get the help you need

Bless you, people don’t recognize depression they just criticize!

I just renovated and cleaned old things out of my room. It was sooooo much. I added storage bins and shelves and gave my room a new theme. I’m so happy and I feel so much better emotionally. This is the most organized my room has ever been. Get your home in order, and the rest will follow! Depression is a real thing! 💯❤️

Wow, I'm so proud of you! That must have been really really hard to do, both physically and mentally. I get depressed a lot and my room tends to get very messy. This is inspired me to do some work on it. Thank you! 🤟

this hits close to home, and i’m so proud of you for tackling it! i still remember when my dad came to pick me up from my mom’s house and found my room in a total state of disrepair. i was thirteen and horribly depressed. you could not see the carpet, and i still had a rat cage sitting there, even after my pet rats had been dead and buried for several months. he refused to ignore it and helped me spend the next three hours cleaning it. while he was not as kind or sympathetic as he probably should have been, given the circumstances, i now realize that he was already worried for my mental health as it was, and the scene had probably given him flashbacks to my maternal grandmother’s house (she was a hoarder, Gd rest her soul). at the time it was rough, but i remember stepping back with him and realizing that my room was hospitable again. my dad is not a perfect man, but his brand of tough love was what my depression addled brain needed. and at the end of the day, he was right there beside me, helping me pick through the mess. thank you for sharing! you did very well.

my comment was going to say “how do you live like that” until i looked over my shoulder and realized mine is no better. I’m 9 months pregnant and the last 2-3 months of my pregnancy made me so depressed that i just stopped caring about how my room looked. plus i don’t have the energy to clean. Just goes to show that we are quick to judge other people when we too are no better. My room isn’t as cluttered but it’s messy enough to take some hours to fully clean. You did good !

I think it's so fascinating how you can learn so much about a person just by looking at what's in their room

thank you so much for showing the reality of how life can look sometimes. for years ive managed to keep my house somewhat in order but my bedroom always looks exactly like this. watching this video has given me the confidence to finally tackle it.

The strength it must’ve taken to muster up to clean all that..... just to look at it is overwhelming....whew. Sometimes just getting out of bed to brush my teeth seems like I’m about to enter a marathon. When I first clicked on the video I said damn, I’m a little triggered (my bedroom has looked like this plenty of times) ThenI thought, maybe she’s depressed. Had no idea until I read the comments that that is in fact true. I know about this all too well. “She’s” that thing that invites herself into your life when you didn’t ask for her company, puts her feet all on your coffee table, won’t throw away her trash. The plates just stare at you like “well we’ll just gonna have to live here together then”. Then one day I sporadically got some energy and by the end of the three day adventure, my floor said “hi, remember me?” I related to this “clean with me” video so much because, well it was deeper than just cleaning up a junky room. It was kind of triggering and also therapeutic. Hope you are doing well. It’s very easy for spaces to return like they once were. I hope your room still looks the way it did at the end of this video and if it doesn’t, it’s okay...... press on ✌🏾&💜

I applaud you for being so transparent! My daughter has trouble keeping her room tidy as well. One tip is to set a daily alarm for the same time each evening before bed. Then set a timer for 10 mins and straighten your room. Basically put everything back in its proper place. You’ll be surprised how much you can accomplish in 10 minutes and more than likely it won’t take the entire 10 to complete. You’ll feel accomplished and your room will be much easier to maintain. Hope this is helpful 🥰

Best bedroom cleaning video I've seen. Others talk and narrate and the cleaning is like a few light clothes sprinkled on the floor with drawers opened to make it look worse than it actually is. I take my hat off to you for being so real and putting this online coz this is the reality of a messy room. Even if they dont admit it. Room looks great 💖

I did this when a family member was moving to Arizona, and my goodness, it felt so good to have a clean space. Now with my somewhat cleaner space, I'm gonna keep cleaning and organizing, eventually getting to decorating and everything.

My room has literally been like yours at the beginning of the video for 3 years. I've been living in a constant state of paranoia, depression, and I have been suffering with my PTSD. I'm moving out of my mom's soon, so I'm finding motivation from this video. I haven't been able to feel motivated to clean in such a long time. However, I know I absolutely have to get it done eventually.

Depression is extremely serious! Honestly i can't even imagine how it feels...what kind of thoughts cross your mind every second....this video hitted me hard....Hats off to all the survivors! May god bless you all💫💙

The fact that you were able to actually get yourself to clean is something I admire. I’ve been moved into my apartment for almost a month now and my clothes have just been Latin ton my floor. I have yet to hang them up. This is making me feel better and reminding me that I CAN do it. Proud of u for doing such a big task

If you ever think that cleaning your house is a boring task, timelapsing yourself doing it is SOOOO satisfying. It's so fun to watch afterward!! I did this a couple days ago and i got so much clean!

I love that you threw away and got rid of stuff instead of just trying to find it a “home”. That never works because it goes right back to how it was!

As someone with depression being able to see your room floor again makes me feel something I haven't felt in a long time. I'm a lot better now, I send you the best of wishes you absolute *CHAMP*

This gives me so much hope. The state of my room has always depended on my mental state. Even when I was little I had a hard time cleaning up my room. I recently decided to start slowly cleaning it up and see if that helps improve things for me. This has given me the motivation to continue at slowly making my way into having a cleaned up room I can manage once again. Way to go! And for anyone who doesn’t understand this please be kind. If you have never had to experience this than I am very happy for you just know everyone manifests mental health in a different way.

Wow, you did amazing! The peak of my depression was in a time before KZfaq and for a very long time, I thought I was the only one that lived like this. I could not even take care of basic things like brushing my teeth or showering. You just can’t understand it, if you haven’t been through it.

Ok now for the MOST IMPORTANT question Where did that Sombrero end up???

I started to judge but caught myself. This was my first time watching any video of yours and I couldn’t believe the mess and food on the bed, etc. But I told myself there is more to the story and that things happen and I shouldn’t judge people. I was then able to enjoy the video and I saw your reply to a comment that said this was gross and I didn’t know mental health was a factor. I now went from starting to judge to starting to relate. My place was a mess when I first moved in, and It did get worse from shopping, but I never connected it to maybe me having mental health issues that need checking. So thank you for sharing and I hope you forgive me. Looking forward to the next video.

I am jealous and amazed at how good she is at cleaning ✨

I love this video so much This video has touched my heart. ❤ I'm glad that I'm not dealing with this alone. Seeing your accomplishment gave me so much motivation and power to get up and get to work. Thank you for sharing this video with all of us. I love how the majority of the comments are so kind and respectful. That's so heart warming to see. ❤❤❤No one is perfect on this earth and the quicker people realize that. The world could be a whole lot better then what it currently is.

When my depression gets in the way of cleaning, I start doing it in steps. One day I set the clock for 5 min and then starts cleaning and stops when the 5 min are done. The next day I set the clock for 10 min. The next 15 min. Whenever I feel the task is to big, I go back a step. So if I did 10 min the day before and I had a shitty day today, I only do 10 min as well instead of 15 min. Another cleaning step I do is taking the cleaning in categories. One day I will put away all the cloths. Next day I focus on the dishes and so on.

At least you kept it real on how long it took you to clean it up. Nice job

God, my room used to look like this constantly until I was about 22. Cleaning it was always so overwhelming. Now I mostly manage to confine it to the kitchen, but going in there can be terrifying if I let it get out of control. Well done, that must have been a task! 🙂

I love this. Been there, done that. It feels refreshing to have a clean room after it being really messy. I still struggle to continue to stay clean and organized. What I do is, I start with making my bed every morning when I get up. The days that I do that, I find are also the days that I make sure my room is tidy before I go to bed. I don’t always keep up with it, but when I do, my room stays clean and organized.

Shit happens in life! The important thing is that you finally did it. Good for you and I hope you sleep well in your clean bedroom.

Thank you for sharing this! I have major depressive disorder and my bedroom is my nesting spot. I have a severe block about cleaning it because of mental abuse from my ex. I appreciate you being strong enough to allow us to see this I would cringe for someone to see my room. It’s motivating to see you do this please keep sharing your journey.

thank you for helping other people with depression, ocd hoarding, autism, adhd and chronic illness etc by posting this 💗

now I wanna clean my whole house.

Good for you, I used to be really messy until I was in my early to mid 20’s. I finally realized how much easier and happier life can be when you have a clean and organized space. It’s one less area in your life that can create chaos.

Re: preventing mess from building up. I have a practice I call "seeing the job through". Basically, once you complete an activity you do the cleanup related to that activity to finish the job off. Having a shower? Dirty clothes go straight into the laundry hamper/basket. Eating or drinking something? Take the crockery & cutlery straight to the kitchen after you're finished, wash them up & leave them to drain. Doing hair/makeup? Put away your tools and supplies as soon as you're done. The idea is to build the cleanup necessary after an activity into doing that activity itself so it becomes automatic. Of course you won't always have time or motivation (I catch myself thinking "I'll do it later" or "It's too much trouble"), but the few times you do do it & notice the difference may be enough to help you stick to the cleanup. I feel that undone jobs take on a life of their own, weighing on my mind & making me feel like a failure (my current state re: my garden). But even a little effort & some results make me feel better about myself. Anyway, if you've made it this far thanks for reading my essay. Hope this helps 🙂

It's nice to watch others finally find the energy & courage to deal with their homes. Totally appreciate this more than those perfect homes getting cleaned with a mircofiber each day. Great job!!

The amazing ability of human mind to bounce back from hurdles. A good clean start is the solution!✨ Thank you for motivating us to clean.

I have that issue as well and it took my sister to clean up my room. When you have mental health issues that deter you from that “ get up and go “ spirit , it really messes with you. My advice, just stay consistent with the cleanliness that you accomplish. You don’t want to revert to where you was and you want to go to that next step on where you want to be. Look at this video, from time to time , & give yourself a pat on the back because you came a long way ☺️☺️☺️😉...

me in my manic phase after being in a depressed one

Hey, this video got posted like a year ago, so I am kind of late to the party, but I just wanted to say how amazingly proud I am of you for tackling such a huge huge job. I watch these videos as motivation and it all seemed so overwhelming but seeing your time lapse made it all seem so doable so thankyou so much

I watch these to motivate myself to clean my room 😁 I’ve been putting it off for a couple months now. It’s exactly why I’m constantly overwhelmed and stressed. Once I finally clean it I’ll have a clear mind.

i know this video has been published like 7 months ago, buuuut i still wanted to comment that i‘m super proud of you and that i had a big smile on my face at the end 🌈

watching this made me feel so good because this is how my room used to be and I used to always get shit for it and called lazy and unhygienic, but it wasn't like I did it on purpose i just couldn't get myself clean it up easily. Thanks for the video❤️❤️

Wow. I'm amazed how focused and organized you are when you clean. I'm less messy but I'm always lost when I beed to clean the whole apartment.

After moving into my house, I never unpacked anything, then it just grew into horribleness- I got depressed and was always home alone due to COVID. I never did any of my school assignments, I just sat on my bed all day and ate food and throw stuff on my floor. It was horrible and every time I tried to clean I always stopped. I’m so proud of you! And I’m glad you finally got to cleaning your room. It’s a big step

One thing that really helps me when I get into this mode of being too depressed to clean is that a while ago, I did a purge of my belongings. Anything I wasn’t using, I have to goodwill. And having less stuff has helped me stay in the mindset of putting things away even when I am depressed. Each thing has a place. Then once every quarter, my husband and I take a day to go through our closets, etc. And do a mini purge or what we r no longer using. I do realize that there will be days when this doesn’t work. But on the days you feel like you have the motivation, having less to put away does help.

Girl, you are awesome. When I got the first glimpse of bedroom floor, I cheered. I have lived with depression for over 45 years. I frequently measure how bad an episode has been by the amount of time it takes to do a thorough tidy and clean of my house when I start to feel better. As I have gotten older I have learned ways to manage my mental health, but there are occasions when it becomes so overwhelming that nothing works and I just have to ride it out and then do the clean up afterwards. Thank you for being so very brave and putting yourself out in the KZfaq world where many people are ready to judge without understanding. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you.

I've been in this horrible cycle lately of trying to get work done but being so distracted by my messy room and unending list of chores that I try to tackle all of them but I never finish, then I don't get work done so then I try to do work in a dirty environment and nothing ever gets done. This kinda motivates me to just take the whole day, so nothing but cleanup, and then hopefully everything will follow after 💖

I grew up sharing a room with my sister. You could tell which side was mine because it looked like a landfill and her side was neat and organized. It would have been such a help if it had been known about ADD and depression in kids and what the overt signs (incredibly messy living space, chronic disorganization, extreme irritability mixed with withdrawal and social isolation, etc.) were. Instead there was condemnation and pity, shame and actual abuse. You keep doing what you're doing as I see the signs of someone coping the best she can and I support your efforts to share and grow and make friends!

I have depression and my apartment is a wreck as well. My office is almost this bad, the other rooms are more livable. Nothing is company-ready by any means. That's actually why I'm here, I'm attempting to motivate myself to clean.

Having less stuff will make your life much more pleasurable. Staying on top of clutter will give you more time to do the things you most enjoy. Job well done, I hope the best for you.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm finding the motivation to stay up tonight and clean because I just need to get it done. One day at work tired won't be all that bad. In the long run, this will make me happy- and knowing you can do it, helps me know I can do it too. Life has been overwhelming lately, depression has reared it's very ugly head, but I need to be strong to at least do this for myself. Truly- thank you for sharing.

There is nothing more satisfying than watching a floor slowly but surely start to reveal itself, and then once everything is finally put away, vacuuming/mopping is the cherry on top *chefs kiss*

My room gets bad as well. Whenever my mental health gets bad (which is often as I have mental health issues) my room also gets messy. Something that helps me is to have someone to keep me accountable. So, on sundays my sister and i will both clean our rooms. This way, there’s someone who’s also relying on me to do my room. And so I can’t slack off. I also try not to eat in my room (though I’m not good at not eating in there lol) because old food/drinks give me hella anxiety. Proud of you for getting your space together!! I know it can be really hard

This time laps means everything to me. It shows that i can do this too. Taking time is okay. Doing step by step is okay. A little is still a progress. Hehehe thanks 😊

My room has looked this that for a good portion of childhood, but I managed to overcome it and only recently have I realised I did. I’ve had OCD ever since I could remember, and one of the things I had along with it was the extreme need for cleanliness and organisation. I would skip school to stay home and clean and organise my room and I’d spend days straight cleaning and organising very small sections of my room. Of course my mum intervened when I started pulling too much stuff out and when our cleaner came by she’d also pack away what ever was out. Nothing was ever organised enough or clean enough for me. This eventually turned into me opening a drawer to organise and then realising some things had another place to go, so I’d stop what I was doing then to go and clean and organise the place those items would go, and the cycle would continue until everything was out and I was overwhelmed to the point I couldn’t continue anymore. Eventually I felt like I had no control of my environment, nothing I did was good enough, and my depression took over. With both the OCD and depression together I never completed anything and my room was constantly a disaster. To add to it I felt awful whenever the cleaner had to come back on a day off to clean my room because she couldn’t do it during the time she was hired (she has be working for my family long before I was born and she cared for me as a baby when my mum had to do something and she still cares for me if I need it. She turned into a family friend and often bends over backwards for us). My OCD and depression got worse, specifically during puberty and when my mum’s ex started to become abusive and actually psychotic. I had ferrets but couldn’t care for them and eventually they got sick under my care due to lack of hygiene and had to be given away (they’re ok still. Our cleaner’s brother took them in so I get updates when I ask for them). There was stuff everywhere so I couldn’t walk, I had mouldy cups, and dishes with flies and maggots. Over time I got diagnosed with OCD when I was 12 in a psychiatric ward after a suicide attempt (my mum’s psycho ex kept telling me to do it), and I started to make a recovery. Since then I’ve been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and I’m looking into several other things along side them. I have a cat now and he’s happy and healthy and my room is for the most part clean. It’s still messy but because I have the cat I had to clean the room in it’s entirety, organise, and move some stuff around so he would’t been in danger and I have to keep it that way for his safety. I still suffer greatly from the disorders I have and what I have undiagnosed, but my environment shows my improvement over the years. I’m 17 now. (I’m sorry for misspelling and grammar issues. It’s 2:31 am and I’m tired lmao.)

Good job! I love the quick floor mop w/ your socks. lol I do that too! The trick is not to make the mess in the first place. Always touch it once. Put things back when you're done using them. Mama drilled that in my head! God bless and stay safe. Way to go!

Dealing with depression and anxiety and I can say my house looks like this. I’m not proud of it but you have inspired me to take baby steps and clean it. Thank you!

this is what depression looks like.

I have chronic pain and this hits home. Little "corners" of things start to take over the space. I can barely get on my knees (surgery) or bend down (injury) to do the hard stuff, so I know. The key for me was to get a strong shredder and go thru my receipts every month. Then, I got those command hooks for the walls, better than hammering a nail in the wall, and placed things above me. My closet is busted since the sliding rack is rusted and I can't really fix it, so one side is stuffed while the other side is empty. I do a little at a time and hope for the best, it's really hard. Things like this inspire me. I can only do a day, then take two days off or I'm wiped out stiff in pain. I might take before and after pics on my phone to motivate me. Hang in there!

As someone who struggles with depression and it's super hard for me to clean sometimes I have come up with a way to keep things clean... and I also have a routine where I catogorize everything like I look at a room and I will see the clothes, trash, or dishes and then I work on that category. I'll pick up all the trash, then I'll move to dishes, then clothes, ect.

Every second of this video was satisfying. In case no one has told you yet. We are all with you. Please keep posting!

I understand this so well, it's hard to keep things organized especially with executive disfunction or add, my house gets close to this at times. I'm glad you worked up the courage and motivation to get this done especially since it was days at a time, Good Job!

Great job doing your first solo clean! It can be so daunting but you stayed strong and powered through it 🥳

This video's really motivating for those who need this, and the process is similar to when I help fix my family's rooms too ! Like the throwing expired things, actual trash, etc; then sorting everything into subcategories, and taking out what I might not need/want anymore, to donate; then making bigger categories for them and designating places for it Tho maybe not have placed a bedsheet immediately when still cleaning stuff around the bed ? Unless you were sleepin on it between takes, then yea that makes sense now Happy on you for taking the energy to fix all this, damn !

My golden rule is: If you don't need a particular thing for a year, you should throw it away. Otherwise, it will clutter your home. Putting things in boxes and stacking them in a closet doesn't help either. If you put something you will most probably never need again in a closet or even in a box, get rid of it. That's what works for me. The fewer things, the happier a person.

This is almost my room soon if I don’t do anything about it, but when having ADD, and autism it’s very hard to just get started

You did such an amazing job and sticking with it would have been incredibly difficult. Well done. I know you'll feel so comfortable in your nice, clean new space. I was an extremely messy person until I broke up with my ex boyfriend and moved into my own apartment with my cat. I got back on my antidepressants right around that time and now my place is pretty much always neat. I can't stand messes in my space anymore. I wake up to my room tidy, my laundry washed and put away, my toilet and shower clean, my dishes done, my throw blankets folded, and my carpets more or less spotless (cat does not like to help me with that particular endeavor. The only thing that's really messy is the kitty toys in the living room. 😊 A huge help with this is getting rid of anything you haven't needed/used in a very long time and space saving techniques. If everything has a place, it's much easier to put things away. I have three inch tall, long totes that slide under my bed next to my collapsible laundry basket, plastic filing drawers in my closet, two chests between the foot of my bed and the wall, etc. As you replace broken/old items, look for ones that offer more convenience. Kitchen utensils that can hang from command hooks, a magnetic knife strip, a wicker basket you can hang from your bathroom wall for wash cloths, vacuum seal bags for long term linen storage, designate spots in your fridge for certain types of food and do a quick check every week for things that need to be eaten/cooked quickly or thrown out, etc.

I’m so glad someone finally post something real I can relate to this it’s so hard when your going through a lot to even get the motivation to clean anything and some people will never understand it but they should not criticize what they don’t understand this is good someone is posting this it’s making other people who have these problems feel better and motivates them some

Amazing transformation! The only thing I would suggest is that you seriously downsize the amount of stuff you have, be ruthless, go through everything, keep only what you need/love - it makes the process of cleaning up SO much faster, and not nearly so overwhelming. Also picking up and cleaning the end of each day is a must!

In my old house it was always like this and I didn’t had the energy for cleaning. Now i made it a routine and i clean every day and make it fun! Put some music on and dance while cleaning this really helped me and now my house is always very clean and tidy. I actually love cleaning now

My room looks like this off and on... when I tell you it's a really quick process on getting it messy due to depression and lack of energy and a really long cleaning process.. 🥲 I'm so proud of you, at times it gets so bad I find molded bowls of food on my dresser and desk-

Depression, my sister has it and this is what her room looks like.

This reminded me of when my landlord gave me six weeks to clean my place or get evicted. I had a 2br apt that looked very similar to this. It literally took 6 weeks of daily work to get it in order. At the end of 6 weeks it wasn't as clean as your room, but he could clearly see how hard I worked and let me stay for seversl more years. It changed my life! Great job. I still struggle years later with not being a clutter bug, but I never stop trying. I hope you keep trying to. One thing that I found helpful was actually watching what people with clean homes do on a daily basis. For example I didn't think about dusting books until I saw someone doing that. It seems obvious, but you don't know what you don't know! Anyway, I'm super happy for you and proud of the work you did! I hope you are still going at it!

As someone with ADHD, this is how my brain looks like and it is nearly impossible to organize. There are always so many thoughts trying to be noticed all at once and my brain gets cluttered. Also I am so proud of myself because yesterday I cleaned my room (which looked a lot like this) in a record time, 2 hours and 34 minutes! Great job BTW! I couldn't imagine doing that.

Kudos to this amazing young woman who was kind enough to share her clean up process. I'm not naturally neat, and these videos help me to tidy up and start fresh.

Amazing job, good for you! 👏🏻 I’m saving this in my “Favorites” so I can refer back to this when I need serious motivation! 💖💖💖

Oh my gosh this felt so satisfying to watch!! I also have a tip for you! Stay in one spot and work your way around. Going all over the place makes it feel more stressful! 😊

Be proud!!!! I grew up in a hoarder environment and had to teach myself how to stay clean. It sounds easy, but for some of us it isn't. Things get away from me fast. Good job!!

You and I clean exactly alike. No half assing around here 💯 not only do you clean you organize and storage things. Amazing job ❤️❤️

I just know it felt so good to wake up in a clean house after this. I love the waking up after deep cleaning and remembering that I actually did it. Great job girly

It's just now almost noon and all morning I've been trying to convince myself to clean my room and organize it. I've been putting it off for a good month now and I just can't get the motivation. Then this video popped up and I feel like I got this. So now is the time

Prayers and kind thoughts to folks struggling with this. It creeps up a little at a time and then it's like where do I start? I will say that of all the contractor bags of trash that I have thrown away, I haven't missed anything that I have thrown away. I like to look at the clean areas of my home and relax and remember I don't need all these things for happiness. I do enjoy the peacefulness of less. God Bless and thank you for the inspiring video.

Oh my....how utterly brave you are to put this out there...I also have a helluva time keeping my home clean, and I don't know why. I've ALWAYS struggled as well. Both my parents are super tidy and clean so it didn't come from them. I have massive anxiety and depression so I know that feeds into it, and general laziness too...I have a difficult time getting and staying motivated. If you can do this, so can I...thank you for being so brave!

I hope you are seeking professional help! And dont ever be ashamed of it! My dad waited a bit long unfortunately. After so many years of having his house in similar condition it deteriorated to the point it was unlivable! Keep posting videos of your journey it could motivate many others!🙏🏽
