hi silvy, and welcome; we're so glad you found us too! this group will make cleaning as fun as it possibly can be, and you will have support for the thoughts and emotions that come up too, as you peel away the layers of the onion.
i perfectly understand the self neglect; that happens when you've been through a lot and taken care of others before yourself. not you get to take care of yourself, your dreams, your needs, and we will be cheering you every step of the way.
good for you for starting very young and getting help for all that has happened to you., and for finding this group. there are tons of great suggestions and you will find your way.
together we can do this!

Oh wow, a lot of reactions since yesterday! you are all too sweet! silvy: Don't worry about all the things that you *think* that you "can't" do; just look for some little thing or other that you CAN do--be it throwing away one tiny piece of trash or brushing your teeth. Do this every day (or as nearly every day as possible!), and you WILL succeed. By the way, your English is WONDERFUL!!! You are way ahead of most people for whom English IS their native language! Welcome to the board. We are happy that you have joined us! Arid Thanks for your reaction and your compliments on my English. You wouldn't want to hear me talk though, it's a bit cloggish (dutch english), I have a terrible accent. Thanks to you as well. I have survived some difficult times but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Everything has made me so much stronger and if I see where I am now compared to 5 or 10 years ago I grew so much. Every experience in my life has been a valuable lesson. And even the situation I am in now is something I know I can conquer, I believe everybody can conquer anything (not in a few days maybe and things will sometimes get worse before they get better but all is possible when you believe in something) :-) Welcome! You have been through quite a lot in your short life. Many to you. You can do it! Kudos on taking steps to get a new garbage can. I am impressed! Join chat. Amazing things happen in chat. Rooms get cleaned, ranting and raving to get things out of our systems, and much laughter! It is a wonderful aid. Thank you! Got a phonecall today from the company who takes away the trash and I can order a new trashcan but I can also request access to the underground garbage ehm, don't know how to call it in english but I think you know what I mean. I've chosen to do that because then I won't be limited to three bags every two weeks but I can get rid off all the trash immediately. I also have flies all over the house, and a trail of ants on the wall next to my bed. They sometimes get in my bed and I have reached the point where I just live and let live. You are not alone. Welcome to the board. Thanks for your welcome Hey Silvy, your story is not unlike many of us here....so you are among friends. So sorry for all the hurts in your life and WELCOME! May I say get the garbage and trash out of your house right away. Also get those sticky traps and trap the flies( you know the kind that you hang) Buy big bags and start filling them with just debris This will be a big improvement! Then let us know that you have done this! We will cheer you! I would love to get the garbage out immediately but I will get a big fine if I just put it on the streets. So I'll take the legal way and wait a few days longer. Thanks for your support and good advice on the sticky traps! silvy: ...By the way, your English is WONDERFUL!!! You are way ahead of most people for whom English IS their native language! Welcome to the board. We are happy that you have joined us! Arid I second this! Your English is excellent Welcome and I'm so glad you found this site!

I love this site so far, even just reading some things here or on the chat have motivated me. I hope I can support you all as well, just finding my place so far, I am a little bit insecure. for you all
