LookingUp; you have no idea how timely, what a life saver it was to read your thread. i have been at my wits end, and i stopped coming on the boards. started back reading (lurking) several days ago. i am looking for lifelines.
i went on amazon and read quite a few pages of the book. i liked what i read. it's an "inside-out" job and a book of action. that's the only kind of book on organizing i trust. what i like best about it so far is that it asks you to think about your personal purpose, and then envision the details of how to get there. that calls on your own inner authority; the only one you really would listen to anyway. i feel a glimmer of hope for myself, where yesterday, i felt total despair of ever beating the hoarding and chronic disorganization. i had pretty much given up ever "recovering" from the mess i was - the mess i am. i don't mean that as a self beat-up. i know/knew that i am in deep trouble.
i'm also revisiting my literature on A.D.D. because i can't begin to express how humiliating it is to try and try and fail and fail. i need to find ways that work for a brain like mine. i think this two pronged approach may help me. i may finally make something stick toward improving my life out of self-compassion, and not beat myself up for being such a depressed failure and giving up before i ever really get started. we'll see. daring to hope, but not too much yet.
thanks so much. i'm so glad i found your thread.
