Greetings,
I am a 3rd degree squalor. I joined SS not too long ago and was greatly encouraged by the group.
I suffer from depression, adult ADD, and early menopause. I am on meds which help tremendously with depression and ADD. Yet, my meds don't do the work for me! (smiles). I live in an apartment. I have 2 cats and a small dog.
I am not married and have no children, just my furbabies. I am a member of this forum as to find support and encouragement on getting out of squalor. Just recently, it has gotten worst. I can't think in my apartment and my surroundings only make my depression and ADD even worst.
I have been so accepted within this group and it has been a blessing to connect with persons who are going through similar struggles.
I am looking forward to connecting even more to this wonderful group of people!
Blessings

Hi minnibella; Thanks for jumping in and being one of our administrators! We have a lot of similarities. I look forward to knowing you more. The ADD sure makes things like sorting difficult, doesn't it? It takes me hours to get some simple things done that it would take someone else 15 minutes to do!
One thing I got from another group, a hoarding group I belong to, is the idea of inspiration spots; tiny spots (top of a night table, for instance, a bed that gets made every morning, etc) and keep them cleared and maintained. When I fall completely off the wagon, i recommit to my inspiration spots. it really helps me to turn things around. I have one inspiration spot in each room.
I love all the wisdom and hope and help I get in this family of great sibs!

< Waves hello ! >
Hi Minnibella!
On 10 May 2008, you posted to Squalor Survivors your first post: "How do I connect to you beautiful people here? ... I found this website about 2 days ago"
On 17 May 2008, Pigpen announced that the forums over there were closing (although the main site will remain open).
Within a couple of days, MissyMissy had started this forum here (taking One step at time out of squalor). And you offered to help as one of the co-moderators.
In the past week you have done a lot of work to help this forum get going and organized.
I am smiling when I think of your first question: "How do I connect to you beautiful people here?"
My response now would be that after finding us on May 8, and reaching out on May 10, and now co-moderating at this new forum here ... you have helped all of us to connect with each other!
Hugs!
