    As a person with C Ptsd, I really relate to this video. I live alone, so my apartment is extremely messy, cluttered.
    I really want it to be uncluttered, but I find comfort in the look. I feel that it reflects my mind frame.
    As I heal, and I deal with my memories and feelings, I find it easier to clean, and reclaim my living space!
    Thank you for this video!
    Stay safe, stay sane, stay strong!

    Ma'am. I assure you. My clutter IS a protective barrier. In the event of zombies, I'm safer than most, cause most people wouldn't be able to get to me. Drop their intelligence to zombie levels, and they have no chance.

    A lot of our feelings, emotions, actions and behaviours are in response and to our trauma. Until we finally take the time to heal and then we can respond to our true selves and develop our own separate identity.

    • @EmbraceTheStruggle24
      @EmbraceTheStruggle24 Год назад +3

      Most definitely. I believe that is why a lot of conflict occurs is because of so many unhealed wounds we have (at least in a figurative sense). But personally for me, I can't stand it when someone wants to use trauma as an excuse for feeling the need to be angry or hostile whenever it suits their impulse or convince. I couldn't even begin to describe how I've heard stories where people 'feel like they can't do anything because they've experienced so much trauma.' I get it - but we as individuals are also responsible for our own words, actions, and sentimentality. Thinking this way has probably cost me some friendships, but tbh...it's brought me a world of peace; being able to develop integrity and self respect for myself. And unfortunately some people can't handle rejection, which is like trauma, but to a lesser extent depending on how one might choose to view it - and besides which, life will not ever be fair for any single person on this planet, but based on my experiences, you're the only one that can be your 'best friend' when push comes to shove - considering we as human beings are naturally selfish and autonomous creatures anyway. And the current trends have made it thus easier for anyone to want to be more alone. Thus, friendships and traditional families aren't what they used to be anymore either.

    Special thanks for this one; I'm not necessarily a hoarder but I am hyper-sensitive and find it hard to let go of things that link me to the past. Nostalgia for happier times when I wasn't so alone.

    • @EmbraceTheStruggle24
      @EmbraceTheStruggle24 Год назад +4

      I feel the exact same way too, and I often have difficulty letting go with a lot of things. However it isn't always the past itself that troubles me so much as whenever I feel jealous of someone (even though deep down I know I shouldn't). I also can't stand arrogance either, but I believe we all can feel that way sometimes if we're insecure about ourselves or dealing with any sort of conflict. Coping mechanisms can vary from person to person. None of us are alone.

    The mess, in my case, is also a consequence of cleaning-related trauma. Coming home from school to a "tidy" bedroom meant things of mine were thrown out or given away without my consent, and I didn't feel safe in my room if it was tidy.
    Two guesses if that gets in the way of "being organized" and the first one doesn't count.

      You brought up something that made me realize this might also go for me, I used to have a lot of stuffed animals and I remember one day my mom just ordered my sis and my cousin to throw them out without asking me which ones I wanted to keep etc. it really hurt me back then and I attacked my cousin screaming and pleading for them not to take them away (childhood me also thought they had feelings and would be hurt by doing so)

    • @Moraenil
      @Moraenil Год назад +6

      Same here. My Mom still threatens to come in my house when I'm gone and throw away everything (she says it's all garbage, which means I'm garbage). I'm in my 40s and still being treated like this. She threatened me with it just a few weeks ago. I don't even want her to set foot in my house anymore, but I have no choice as boundaries aren't a thing. The only time I start feeling like I could maybe do some cleaning, is when I haven't seen/heard anything from my parents for a month or more, which is rare because that's only when they go on vacation. But it takes that full month before I start feeling like I could clean, and then they're back and on my case and it all resets.

    No wonder things that are around me are a bit messy, this video perfectly summed up what I'm currently experiencing. I got teary eyed as I watched the video because idk what went wrong with me suddenly as I'm feeling everything all at once. I feel like my friends are going their ways, I get sad by the slightest circumstance, I want to be with my girlfriend always, I feel like everyone dislikes me for no reason... and yeah, idk why I got suddenly like this. I was okay the last month and things took a 180 degree turn.
    Feels like I have nobody, I want to do things alone like go out and eat, but at the same time it feels like it emphasizes my loneliness more... damn, life is hard. All of a sudden I am in solitude and now I get frustrated over the smallest things.

    • @EmbraceTheStruggle24
      @EmbraceTheStruggle24 Год назад +1

      Yep, I know how that feels - because I feel like a lot of my friends (from high-school) are choosing to lead superficial lives (which I have no idea why). And I'm not trying to cherry pick or feel left out (which honestly I don't). But this is where I think populism and influence culture has done more to misinform rather than be beneficial. I'm probably not being completely accurate if I'm just assuming that... but how will there be any genuine effort or value left if people just do what's popular rather that what is truly right for them. I mean at some point we all have to put on a 'face' just to get somewhere with ourselves, but if it's going to take joy away, then what is really the point of existing.
      But whatever it is you're struggling with or going through; realize that you're not alone and I'm sure eventually you'll make new friends. I'm not saying it will be easy, but I would hope that you have any 'belief' that there will always be someone out there who is willing to help or befriend you. Whatever you choose to do, I wish you all the best with attempting to discover your spirit and what it is you truly want from yourself; and not just others. Peace 🙏

    The past few months I have noticed that I am not myself anymore. One of the things that I noticed is that I no longer clean the house, tidy up the kitchen, and when I do so it takes a lot of courage to even put away a single dish. I’m not fond of cleaning but seeing a clean house makes me feel motivated, however nowadays I can’t even stand to see a clean spot. The good news is I know what’s causing my mental health to spiral downwards and I even know how to fix it, bad news is I also can’t bring myself to do so. It is my final obstacle from leading a happy life but it’s also the hardest and most painful one yet and it hurts so much.

      I wish this was a Psychosis but it is very real as are my injuries:
      I have been overwhelmed dealing with injuries from a few assaults as the Portland Police consider it to be "constitutionally protected free speech" for a disturbing man to tell people that I am "David Lamar Hollingshead" a convicted sexual predator of children. This disturbing man is doing this as revenge for me sending Oregon DEQ photos that ended an ongoing environmental crime a block uphill of the hospital that I live near for medical treatment. As he knows that there are angry white men that are just looking for an excuse to harm a Halfbreed like me...
      The first assault was being kicked in the face when I was tying my boot costing me teeth. The worst was an alcoholic bipolar neighbor who knew that a drunk driver broke my back added two herniated disks which can't be fixed by surgery due to the a drunk driver breaking L1, L3, L4 & L5 when I was young. There have been two assaults since then though the worst one left me picking bits of enamel out of my hand so before it would heal so I have to look out for him seeking revenge for breaking his teeth...
      I have never been charged with a crime. As an adult I have never started a fight. But since Donald Trump actively emboldened white nationalists I have had trouble. As some racists view me as an "Abomination" & "Contamination of the Great White Race" as it's very clear that I am a mixture of First Nations, Native American & European and white nationalists don't really like that. The first time I heard "The only good Indian is a dead Indian" was from a pair of MAGA Hatters who were trying to run my car off the road with their pickup...
      So yes I really do live with trauma and stress without a way of resolving it...
      And your videos do help. Thank you...

    The real problem for me is whenever I’m aware that I need to clean the room, I tried to explain my mother the reason why it’s a mess, she doesn’t seem to care to understand and it’s not because I’m lazy (not sure if it’s trauma but I don’t believe I’m in term lazy)

    It doesn't help me personally when cleaning is RELATED to my trauma. My ex used my executive dysfunction around cleaning to not only humiliate me but to control me. It was my always fault if anything wasn't clean and she was the hero descending on high to rescue me. She taught me to think of myself as a horrible dirty person that kept her from living the life she wanted and to constantly try harder to make her life easier. At the time I thought this was normal couple stuff, where I just wasn't pulling my share of the weight in the relationship. Now I see it for what it was: a cycle of debasement, apology, and reward that kept me working my hardest to put her wants over my needs.

    Thank you for this! I struggle so much with being messy. I also place alot of value in objects and have a hard time letting things go, making me have hoarding tendencies (apparently). I find it hard to organize and clean. I suffered a bad depression in college and can say I had no energy to do anything and the few times I tried to clean, I got too overwhelmed. I tried to ask my ex for help a few times because he was always nagging me about my apartment being messy but he wasn't very...ugh can't think of the words right now... um he wasn't very nice emotionally I guess? Like he didn't try to understand my way of thinking or just sit back and support my feelings and stuff even though he thought I was being ridiculous. Don't worry, we broke up and even though it was painful (10 years together) my therapist has made me realize I deserved someone better. Seeing this video just makes me feel a little better about my myriad of problems and reminds me that some of my issues aren't just because I'm a terrible person but because of the various mental and emotional traumas I have faced in my life.

    Just know that you got this! It's not gonna last forever. Start small, take maybe 5 mins and clean as much as you can. Take your time and don't push or beat yourself up.
    Healing isn't a straight road. Sometimes there are difficult curves, traffic or even roadworks or things on the road that force you to stop. And that's okay, you heal but please take your time and take a break (not necessarily just because you need gas). Take a break, get out of your car and enjoy the present moment.
    I believe in you! ❤

    I've found it helpful to give myself only one simple task each day, something directly beneficial to me and my well-being. It might be folding and putting away a load of laundry, or sweeping my bedroom floor and taking the trash out, something easy that doesn't require a lot of time to complete. If I'm able to get that done, I'll randomly attempt to get another thing done that day if I feel up to it and motivated. But I don't ever try to get anything more done than just the one initial task, though. That way, if I finish it, I feel good about it, and like I've achieved something in completing my goal for that day. And, if I'm just not up to doing anything else that day, having just one thing I've set my mind to accomplish and no more prevents me from feeling like I failed or that I didn't get done what I wanted. It sounds kinda elementary, maybe, but there are days when that's honestly all I can do, and I can feel good about getting that one done, at least. ❤

    I have autism, general anxiety disorder (which includes PTSD) and depression. This video made sense to me in a way I never thought of. I never thought it could have been something else way out of my control. I just hope I can eventually heal and be able to properly clean some day.

    I think the harder thing is handling judgment and others who think they know better. From a certain perspective I'm messy things clutter my space and some things aren't accessible. From my perspective i have my own way of organizing things and know where things are. How you think things should be set up is harmful to me because even though my perspectives not wrong and I'm glad to help you clean things up to meet your needs i know how things should work in my space better than you do. I'm adaptable but not enough to neglect a sense of who i am.

    Honestly, I've always been so confused when it comes to this. I have OCD, and it constantly makes me want to have a clean and orderly environment, but doing so just feels like such a burden and impossible task even if I really really want to, it just feels like I cant start because it's too much.

    This video made me réalise some of my action when I was younger (12, 13)... I used to in the hit of a meltdown throw all my stuff on the ground and quit hide myself into them, I felt comfortable in it, protected... then I felt miserable having to clean it because it looked bad. But I can tell you if you are messy because of trauma that life can change. I have my own apartment now and started working seriously on my healing since I was 18 (I am 21), my house is really clean now and quit organise. I feel so much better mentally even if I had terrible down (suicidal trough and try). I still got down but they are not as deep. I really started to live and I am a 100% sure that you can too.

    I got very mad when I was young, (I had major anger issues because of my autism when I was younger but I cope with my anger issues better now), I got extremely mad that my dad locked himself in the bathroom or in his room. He'd by chilling on his phone and I'd be banging on the door begging for him to come out, while crying. When he opened it he said "are you ready to come out now," I said yes, ran in there, and felt a burst of rage. He put me out the door again. The second occurrence that happened more was when my mom and dad were home. I was really mad again and they'd lock me outside in the backyard. so once again I'd be banging on the door begging too be let in. They would open it and say "are you ready to come inside," but then I would feel a burst of anger, so right when they saw it pulsing through my face they'd lock it and close the door again. They put me out there for a very long time though spanning around 30 minutes-3 hours.

    When I make a mess in a shared space or space that's not my own, I will go well out of my way to clean up after myself. Not just taking the responsibility to leave it how I found it, but the initiative to leave it better. As far as my own space though, I have my room and my car, both are quite a mess. I feel these are spaces where I don't have to feel like a burden, where I can exist unapologetically and just relax for a change. The mess is mostly just papers, dust and bags, I don't leave food scraps and garbage laying around, I have standards at least. I feel like when people like my mother for example enter and clean up without consulting me, its an invasion and a disrespect of my boundaries.
    Regardless of all of this, I would like to have both spaces clean, I just can't find it in me to get around to it.

    Man I dunno, I remember being 3-4 years old and making a mess in my room to deal with my overwhelming rage over ???. I was just sitting in my office the other night, which is literally storage right now, so I'm just surrounded by piles and boxes- And I was thinking "This would bother most people but I feel comfortable in here." My desk at work is perpetually a disaster area. It almost feels like I'm... "nesting"? But yeah my room was often a mess when I was a kid, I don't think it's trauma. I mean it could be, I definitely had trauma in early childhood, but all I remember about that event was being angry. It's possible clutter helps me process anger better. I'm gonna say it's a CONTROL thing, I have massive PDA. If someone messes with my trash it pisses me off.

    It's also a rebellion. The more my abusive parents get on my case about cleaning my house, the more I don't want to. Now, that fall under the protective wall too, but I see it partially as rebellion in the only way I can rebel. I've been that way for as long as I can remember with only one time ever cleaning when I had to (when we were selling the house, because stranger were going to be seeing everything too). It really doesn't help, either, when your possessions are all you have (no friends, no non-abusive family, significant other, no kids, no pets, etc.), and the abusers in your life tell you that all your stuff is garbage. This makes me feel like I'm garbage as well, because what you own is also a reflection of you and your personality. Added to that, I was raised in the 80s when "he with the most toys wins." I would love my house to be neater (not necessarily sterile because that's not homey, comfortable or anything (my parent's house is like that and I'm not at all comfortable there, and don't feel like I can touch anything or do anything, and I don't want that for my own home). When you aren't allowed to have what you want/need for cleaning/organizing, and are limited to an empty room with boxes that don't have lids for your organization of all household stuff.....cleaning is impossible and undesirable. Also, I'm one of those people that, if I can't see it, I don't have it, therefore I need to be able to see my stuff and want it out where I can see and enjoy it, otherwise what's the point of having it if it's put away where you can't see it? According to my abusive parents, I shouldn't own anything but a bed, tv, computer, kitchen/dining table, one chair, dishes for one person for one meal, one pan, one pot, a few utensils, and only enough clothes for one outfit per day for one week. That's it. No pictures, no decorations, no nothing. To me...THAT's the pure way to severe depression and not feeling at home anywhere. That means no hobbies, no interests, nothing.

    This was very helpful to me, I have been down a while, i thought that my messy room was my flaw but I have grown to like this messy environment as a safe place for me and my thoughts. I don't want to clean my room, even if I tried, is it procrastination? I still don't know the definitive answer, but I can say that it makes me feel comfortable and I don't want to get rid of this environment even if it looks awful...

    I definitely use clutter as a barrier. Cleaning it all just seemed overwhelming. Then a thought hit me: I am transgender and my transition seemed overwhelming until with a therapist we broke it down into a series of small steps. This summer I approached cleaning in the same way, 2 hrs on Saturday morning. Now I am almost done!

    Im 15 years old, and my room is super messy. I always feel that it is impossible to do, impossible to even lay in my bed, so i sleep on the couch. I just feel too overwhelmed when im in my room, and thats supposed to be my safe spot from everywhere else. Everytime my mom yells at me to clean my room, the only thing ill clean is my clothes off my bed and then id stop doing everything because im so tired and sick of doing it. Id sometimes stop halfway through, as well. Laundry day comes again, and just want to sleep and not do it all over again. Im not sure whether I have depression issues currently as i am depressed, or trauma from something that happened to me socially. Either way, kind of scared how deep my trauma is now.

But since i had goals to become a successful person, but didn't know what to do to reach that goal so i literally thought and decided that if i can't find a job or whatsover to do with my life or if i go blind i will do a suicide.
      To conclude, Same here I feel bad dying without acomplishing anything too.
