I am making a bad situation worse and I know it but seem incapable of helping myself. I have been too ashamed to say that I have done NOTHING to my house since the mold removal. I need appliances, furniture, wallpaper - everything. At first I was excited and got lots of ideas on line but the choices overwhelmed me. I get irrritated if husb asks how its going but even though I know its unfair to let him live like this I dont want him to do anything. My mom wants to pay for wkly cleaning but when I pick up phone to find someone I cant organize my thoughts enough to say what needs done plus Im too embarrassed for anyone to see how I let house go. I have all these rooms and basically live in 3. I want to get it done but my brain just freezes. I dont know why Im even posting this. Sorry to whine.

Kiki, Don't beat yourself up. The brain-fog, lack of motivation and just plain being d--m tired and emotionally worn out are all part of this picture. Take one issue at a time, trying to do it all is very daunting, so take baby steps. We have all been there.

Thank you for saying that. About a year after this got me I kept pleading that if I didnt get help soon I would not be able to help myself get well. I had no idea what I really meant but Im haunted by the words now. But I try to remember that we are stronger than we know.

Justhangin is right kiki, take baby steps. But I think you definitely SHOULD start with one of them right now cuz it'll make you feel a whole lot better mentally. You need to know you have the upper hand on this thing.
I did the same thing in the beginning. I let things go cuz I got scared, but it changed for me one day when I finally realized I wasn't gonna let this thing control me anymore. Now whenever I get something accomplished (even like going to my family reunion and going on a trip while my bathroom was being redone) I feel more like I'm the one in charge of my life again. Baby steps work, and I really believe you should take that first one for your own good....... you need to let this know you're not gonna give in to it.
love ya ~~ bannanny
