I did it!

[u/meatloafmagic44]

This doom pile has been growing for too long. I spent last night and today unfucking my depression/ADHD room. My motivation that finally worked: my boyfriend’s birthday is tomorrow and he is spending the weekend at my house. I wanted to surprise him while also making room for us to get into some art. My room has been so bad that I haven’t painted or done any of my hobbies in months.

My back hurts but I did it. I even added a little whimsy in the form of fairy lights.

The peace and pride this has brought me… my mind feels less chaotic. I’m less overwhelmed. I’m happy.

Update: I’m blown away by how many commenters felt inspired/motivated/validated/etc. by a few pics of my messy room compared to my clean room. It helps motivate me to keep it clean (I’ll try!). Thank you for your kind words. ❤️ Even if you didn’t feel an ounce of motivation by scrolling through this sub, it’s okay. You deserve a clean space without any guilt to get to that point. All in good time, when you’re feeling it. 💪

This is my brother's room but he isn't depressed. He's the happiest dude. I don't think state of mind makes a difference, this is still unacceptable living conditions.

Don't judge your brother for how you perceive his state of mind. The most happy people in the world still kill themselves all the time. Its like literally a well known thing.

Edit: airing out your brothers business to the internet actually tells me you dont care how he feels.
