Hi everyone, I'm Gwin. GodlyWomanInNeed. I am a clutterer who desperately wants to change. I thought I had things under control, and my house was in order. After about a year, here I am, all cluttered. After the loss of my Mother in 2007, my depression only got worse. I suffer from BiPolar w/mixed episodes and OCD. I tend to have an emotional attachment to items, clothing, ect. I have gotten 90 percent better at tossing things, most of the time. But I have to stay on top of it or I shrink right back into the same old ways. Some days it's just so hard to make myself even get up and get dressed. Thanks for being here.

. Welcome! Sorry for your loss. I understand the daily challenge to just get out of bed. I like the John Wayne quote! I may just "borrow" that from you. I look forward to seeing you and reading your posts.

hugs and welcome- it is so easy to become attached to things- especially at hurting times- keep on tossing and we will help you through it until it is just a habit to toss first and think later- blessings

Wlcome! I share the same problem with the emotional attachment to things. THat can be ahrd- but I deal with it one item at a time. I find it helps to not buy anything- less to get attached too! Welcome aboard!

Welcome, MomsPearl. My Mom passed in 2002, and that contributed to causing my mess to get much worse. Deepest condolences on your loss. Stick with us, and we will be by your side as you learn and grow.
