frustration! I need help cleaning!

[Guest guest]

sometimes I find the meds arnt helping for the voices and im too

tired to clean my room. I seriously need help cleaning it.. Does

anyone know where I can get someone to help me get organized. I am an

organized person but I have no energy to get started. The meds kinda

tire me out and im too tired after work.

Chantelle,

Do you have Microsoft works, the latest edition? In it under projectsyou can

find spreadsheets of either daily or weekly household cleaning projects. You

can also put in more information if needed. When you have that you can print

it out and check off your tasks when done. Having a list on the specific

task of cleaning your bedroom might help because you can see it step by step

instead of being totally overwhelmed.

Patty doesn't always need it but when she gets into a time where she is

overwhelmed instead of me telling her what to do and having her mad at me she

can

just look at the spreadsheet. And that helps me because she can't say she

didn't know! Now she doesn't even have to check it off. It is a routine for

her

and she can easily get back into it.

Good luck. Everyone gets overwhelmed in keeping their place clean. Once you

do the job you turn around and have to do it again. Especially laundry! That

is one of the household duties here that lead to many frustrations.

Is it just getting things ~organized~ or actual " knuckle get down and

scrub " sort of cleaning? Is it 'just' paperwork, or other stuff mixed

up??? The reason I ask is that if it is " get down and scrub " kind of

cleaning, perhaps RED CROSS would have some ideas for you, as they do

provide light housekeeping and deliver the odd meals for free which

~could~ be of some help. You could do a 411 BELL search for their

local number. Salvation Army also has this service. If its actual

" organization " stuff that has got out of hand, well....(some of us

also have that issue but believe it or not we know where to find

everything! ) Walmart sells little pretty boxes for $3.00 and they

make great organizers. Zellers has multi-coloured bins which could

hide things behind the couch for example until you get to them,keep

'em out of eyes way and ~could~ help you organize?! Scheduale a period

of time where you could do a bit each day so its not overwhelming??

Hope this helps
