I’m in the same boat mostly from facing surgery and being depressed about the fact this is the first Christmas 🎄 I’ve ever spent away without the love of my life for 13 years. Yesterday I did something that at first seemed so insignificant but it ended up being a turn in my attitude.

I’ll say that I’m not trying to brag or anything on that but though I live on a fixed income I have more money this month for some reason. I was looking for something to buy that would fill up this void in my ❤️ heart.

I went to Lowe’s and bought a new wreath to hang on my front door.

When I woke up this morning to my usual mess I felt a new sense of wanting my home to not be a mess.

All I can say to you is perhaps you can find in mind a memory that makes you feel better .

Or think about doing one thing that you could do in your house that would make you feel proud of accomplishing even something small can spur you to feel more inspired.

I don’t know if this helps but that’s what I did and I was surprised at the outcome 😎🕶

I have found the same navigating around and moving the mess around more than ever getting to the cleaning part. I have never been an empty nest and was dealing with traumatic stress. I am learning that belittling myself over my inability to motivate to do the work is more than just my brain not wanting to motivate and to be my friend about it and speak to myself that I am worth more than the mess. Maybe I will someday with therapy and keep saying I matter and the getting a wreath or a new duvet or just something that says this home matters and I do too when you see it helps me too. And I feel comfort that I’m not alone in my messy mess and appreciate you sharing.

Hi 4030,I feel the same way and gets harder each time to get up and stay up. I never had anyone to treat my PTSD or give me stress drugs for it, and the only one that gets me through the day is Jesus. He hears my cry's and prayer and grateful for Him never leaving and helps solving my problems at times, and He is always with me. God can do anything for us and all you need to do is ask Him. I have major health problems and when I have problems with them he helps me get what need. God will help you in each step you make. Thank him every day for him to have you waking up every morning and keeping you safe. Good luck and God be with you and your struggles. Silent rider Janet
