    Thank you. I’m getting therapy right now and one of my goals is to be able to manage things better. Hoping my therapist can help me out.

    I know people who have living conditions and habits far, FAR worse than mine, so I just think of them when I’m spiraling and feel a little better.

      Reasonable expectations and also downsizing. It took me a long time to realize your stuff ends up owning you, especially stuff you don’t need.

      It’s extra surfaces to clean, takes up space in your living area, and usually stops contributing to your mental well being.

      Stuff like original artwork, that works for me. I like going to starving artist sales and can usually find something to put on the wall.
