Garnett as a fellow ADHD person, I totally get it. For me when it becomes to much I stop for a bit because the idea of starting is absolutely overwhelming.
Based on the title and the topic of discussion, I seriously thought this would be a sad video but Garrett has such a way of making everything feel joyful, and lets his viewers know that it’s ok to slip once in a while. I’m so proud of him.
As someone with ADHD who has accidentally overworked themselves, my executive dysfunction is worse than ever. My apartment is a mess and I haven’t been able to clean properly for weeks. I’m proud of you for going through it all and succeeding. Good job!
There's a girl on youtube called Pearc PRC She does 1 hour videos of talking while cleaning her room It's meant to be for people with adhd specifically. Basically, you just clean your room while listening. I did it once and I've never been so efficient, hope it helps :)
One piece at a time… you’re going to be okay. Start in a room and move all of one thing out of it… eg the dirty washing or the things that don’t have a home in the room
Taking accountability is a huge step and you even went beyond that!! You got this Garrett!! If it makes you feel better this is literally coming from a recovering hoarder with a history of depression room💀
Yeah I really want to redo my room and I’ve grown out of the style but usually I just try to clean it and then get frustrated leaving a bit of a hoarder in the past doesn’t help me now and especially my ADHD 😅😂
same here and my place has sum areas that went beyond hoarder prblm but at least there's 2 ppl irl who kne that it's depression and they didn't get mad or angry
I hope you got your room clean :3 if not that's okay too , your just displaying your personality also making it harder for bad guys to get your items :D
that’s what i did to clean my entire room when it had gotten really really bad, it’s very useful seeing other people be productive, i totally suggest doing it to anyone who needs the help :)
Dude you just helped me feel so safe and more human because I have been struggling to function executively for a few months to the point of hating food because eating felt like a chore, and I love food. My room looks like my brain and my closet looks like my suppressed thoughts. I'm getting closer to starting to clean it, which isn't much, but my brain is making progress. Thank you, Garrett ❤
That's an ADHD thing?! I've lost 5 pounds due to stress, but also because eating is less appealing to me than sleep, and I'm just now realising why. God damn it, it's always the ADHD...
Something that helped me with food (since starting anything is a chore in itself) was “make the food and sit in front of it as long as it would take to eat it”. Then I didn’t have to make the food and eat the food, just make it. I trained myself to make the food, and it was easier to approach eating it.
oh my god, this is all so relatable. "my room looks like my brain and my closet looks like my suppressed thoughts" is the most accurate and expressive thing i've read in a while 😩
The ultimate mask off ADHD moment. No masking whatsoever. Love to see it. I only get like this when I’m alone cause most people can’t handle the chaos.
not Garrett gently reminding me to clean my depression room(s). For real, thank you, Garrett. You're timing is always perfect for me. You 100% just unknowingly stopped a major depressive episode in its tracks. I love and appreciate you.
U got this💛 not in a stress way but we are literally just annoyingly overly evolved apes. Clean what and when u can. Doesn’t mean ur less of a person /less loveable:)
Can I just say, considering Garrett’s past with hoarding and knowing he has ADHD, he’s done so well! Good on you for recognising the issue and doing your best to hold yourself accountable Garrett, you should be proud of how far you’ve come. Also it’s so nice to see people showing this side of things and humanising the experience, this does so much good in so many ways. Love ya Garrett!!
Speaking for myself and a lot of my customers (I own a housekeeping company) we have have rooms like this. We all have days and months like this. Don’t be hard on yourself. You are not alone. Find a way that help YOU clean the best. My mom picks up 10 things at a time. I start at a corner and work clock wise. Everyone is different. But even picking up 10 things a day works. My therapist said “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly”. Meaning it’s better to try a little than not try at all! You’re doing great! ♥️♥️♥️
I’m a mom in my 40’s with ADHD. Thank you for having entertaining content that even someone as far outside of your target demographic as I am can still enjoy and relate to.
Agreed. I thought I was one of a very small club that has a room like this. I walk in, and walk right back out. I don’t know where to start. Not even my ADD meds help me concentrate on the task at hand. I’ve been told 35+ different ways how to just start, and I get so overwhelmed I just shut down and do absolutely nothing. Then, I’m mad at myself for wasting the time. It’s a vicious cycle….
Those of us with ADHD feel seen and heard and with one of our own. We love you, Garrett. There’s always that room or closet. Or garage. Or shed. Or storage unit. Or all of the above. And just as we’re holding you accountable, you’re holding us accountable, too. ❤ Edit: This vid was also the perfect birthday gift. Just seeing your bright, happy smile is all the gift I need!
Garrett could literally post a video of himself just sitting on a couch eating chips and I think I’d still be excited to watch it - his genuine personality makes anything interesting ♥️♥️♥️
Honestly, going from house full of stuff to only one room as the sole fallen soldier to hoarding, that's massive progress. I have OCD and had to consciously stop myself from hoarding, so the struggle is relatable. Cleaning up??? Scares me 😭😭 You're doing greattt
me too!!! my mom (who i know longer talk to) would say like "how can you have OCD you're so messy!!" but OCD is not just cleaning!! sometimes it is hoarding haha
Honestly as a fellow ADHDer as well… I commend you for how far you have come. I think having one room like this isn’t something to be ashamed of for neurodivergent brains like ours. It’s able to be contained and one room is manageable. Also, I’m commenting on this before the video is done… you are doing something that I have just learned about and that’s called body doubling. Sometimes our ADHD brain works better when someone is around I guess like you said… making yourself feel accountable in a way.
Thanks for sharing this Garrett! This is definitely one of the biggest things I’ve had to deal with with depression. I don’t have the energy to deal with something immediately so I leave it, then as it piles up just the thought of trying to do it is so intimidating it makes me panic, and then it’s a spiral. The more I panic the more I don’t want to do it, which makes it worse and worse! I’ve been trying really hard to get better at this, but I still slip up sometimes. I’ve been trying a method of like, every time I leave my room I’ll bring out like 2-3 items. Something really small and manageable, that makes me feel accomplished. I think this can help with things like that room, maybe just go in there with a bag and pile some stuff into it, then just sort what’s in that one bag. Small, accomplishable tasks that make you feel good and productive are really helpful, especially when you realize that you’re actually enjoying doing it. Thanks for sharing the mud and being so authentic with us. I think stuff like this would make a great live stream too! Like a “let’s clean our rooms together!” And people can share their before and after photos and we can all be accountability buddies :) good luck with setting up your ghost room! Can’t wait to see more ^_^
@@irradiated_woman8016 honestly such a hack! Have been utilising it since I was a tween without even realising. Didn’t know it had a real name until I just looked up what you commented
Garrett, your channel is literally just a safe space to go to. I was diagnosed with ADHD a year ago, and every time I watch your videos, I feel validated. Thank you for your genuine and funny videos that make me feel like I’m not alone 🤍
Came here to say this but you summed it up so much better than I could have worded it! I feel like I have a friend with me through this journey called life ❤
wow holy shit, this actually is so beyond comforting? like that word doesn’t even do it justice how much this makes me feel like all the negative things i say to myself are not helping, my room has looked very similar to this for almost two years, it’s debilitating , not to mention humiliating, seeing someone of your status struggle with the same issue makes it feel so much less shameful, and way more like i’m just a person struggling, like everyone else :( thank u
you can do it! it's really difficult but you will feel so much relief. it may feel shameful and terribly embarrassing, but sometimes you just need to run through with a trashbag or laundry basket.good luck.
I can totally sympathize with this. I am so terrified of having extra space in our home cause my brain will absolutely do this same thing. And the fact that there's a door and you can close it and forget about it ugh that sounds so dangerously good to me 😭
Okay so hear me out, I don't want someone else to be uncomfortable more, but I wished there was more of this video. I would love to clean with someone like this and maybe I can tackle my doom room if I keep this energy on repeat because ten minutes more shared from this lovely human, could never get too much of it!
If you want more to watch, there's a few organization videos on The Kitchen & Jorn Show channel that I recommend! They also have ADHD and I think it's really comforting and helpful to see how they're able to clean up their homes
I have depression mixed with ADHD, so the disorganization mixed with lack of motivation really makes it where my house looks horrible all the time lol This video is too relatable, I love you Garrett for being honest about it. ❤
@@AdelleOverton maybe someone can help you. Getting started is the worst. Maybe it helps when a friend or family member cleaned a bit for you. Getting home to a clean space hits you different.
My room is starting to look like this and I find it so reassuring to see someone not shy away from stuff like this, can't wait to listen while cleaning my room
Garrett, I have a room exactly like this if not worse in my house, it’s been gradually getting worse over about 2 1/2 years, and this video finally motivated me to clean it. I’m 80% done and it’s cleaner than it’s been most of the time I’ve lived here. It is so relieving
i feel like most people with adhd (like myself) gravitate towards your channel because you show all the ups and all the downs of living with a crazy ass brain, and i just wanted to say I'm so proud of what you accomplished with that room, i know how hard it is to start on something that looks so big, but it makes me want to do a clean up myself!
You’re not alone Garrett, I am actually so glad you showed this on camera because I was just feeling ashamed of myself because of how often my house gets like this and I always assumed I was the only one who experiences this regularly, I never see that other people have to go through it, thank you so much for this🥺💓it honestly means the world to me how honest you are, I feel less alone. I totally relate to how you feel.
Thank you for showing a vulnerable situation showcasing what ADHD really is, Garrett. My boyfriend and I also have a junkroom...and junk drawer. I always thought I was the only one to just put everything you don't wanna deal with in one room.
hi garrett! i just wanted to say thank you so so so much for making this video!! it felt so relieving and supportive seeing someone else be open about struggles with things like organization and keeping a tidy home, not only did watching you clean and organize motivate me to do the same thing but it also made me feel so much less ashamed of my struggles with tidyness, staying on track, and other adhd-isms. thank u from the bottom of my heart for making this!! i love your stuff and this video is really special to me 💗
Garrett literally can not explain how happy for you i am, as someone who deals with the same thing it can be really hard and overwhelming to sit down and deal with this kind of stuff. Recently done this type of purge myself and felt so much better after doing it.
Same, I have adhd also depression so I can have an episode where I legit can't clean my room and have to mentally be okay to get it done, but I'm working on it. I got my room clean 2 days ago ....then my mom destroyed it but it's okay. I have something to do when I'm bored now !
I know this video is lighthearted but you shouldn't be ashamed of this at all- as someone who has also struggled with this, in part due to mental health issues and in part because I grew up in a similar environment, I see how far you have come. Your house looks so good. It can be hard for people to understand how overwhelming it can be and how easily things can get out of hand. This content is so helpful for people who don't realize how common of a struggle this can be, so thank you for making it and for being vulnerable with your audience. We are so happy for you!
I just completed folding a mountain of clean clothes that had been taking up my loveseat and reading chair for a month and a half. We’d just pick from the pile when we needed clothes or directly from the dryer. I’d keep on top of washing things but for weeks the thought of folding them was so overwhelming. Next thing to tackle are the dishes. Coming out of a depression spiral sucks but you showing moments like this makes people like me feel not so alone. Thank you. 💜
I have raging ADHD as well and all the clutter in my house is extremely overwhelming so I totally understand!!! You’re videos have always brought me comfort in that sense because you’re so open and honest about what it’s like to live with ADHD and the chaos that comes with it. You should totally do livestreams where we all just get together and clean lmao
Seeing this video and reading all these comments has made me so grateful to be in such a nice and supportive community. It makes me feel seen and understood, like i’m not alone in this. Thank you all so much
Hey Garrett, thank you so much for showing this side of you. I feel like all of us slowly lose our grip on keeping a tidy environment from time to time, especially when things get tough. Not only did you show me that other people go through this too, but you showed how holding yourself accountable does lead to betterment! Thank you❤️
So proud of you after seeing this! I just recently cleaned a room of mine that was a mess for the last 6 months, took a few days but it feels so good seeing it clean. I was completely overwhelmed by it, but I worked on it a little bit at a time and that helped a lot lol
I honestly truly genuinely am proud of you this type of shit is so hard with adhd and executive dysfunction and I know it always gets harder and more depressing and upsetting the longer I leave something, so I’m sure it was rough for you to get started. I’m all for you using your channel to help you do stuff like this. Monetize it even
Hey Garrett! Just wanted you (and Andrew if he ever sees this) that when I watch yall's videos I always get so happy and it's such a huge comfort to me (even the scary videos mwahaha) I've been watching your videos for a couple years now and I'm so glad to stick around this long!! I like this new channel it's a bit different then your main but I get to see even more funny chaos! K, thank you! And love you!!
Yeah this channel is just for smaller kinda silly stuff that I want to do. Like just a sandbox vibe. Jordan I am glad you like what I do and that I can entertain you. It's an honor.
I very much relate to this video. It's so comforting seeing someone going through the same issue as I do. I suffer from both adhd and depression, so cleaning is pretty hard for me to get motivation to do. You inspire us Garrett! Thanks so much for being realistic about your struggles
Thank you garret I’m also an adhd person who has a “Dudley’s Second Bedroom” situation happening at all times. It’s overwhelming because I’m supposed to have my parents stayin there for visits but some how everything ends up accumulating and then I also get so ashamed it feels like I can’t move. I find that updating my progress with my friends and family is the only way I can make meaningful progress. But it can be embarrassing to get to that point. I’m glad that your RUclips video could help inspire you. Keep up the good work messy or clean doesn’t affect how people who care for you see you as a person.
I was even procrastinating watching this video bc my room is the exact same, filled with random clothes and Knick knacks that I don’t even know where they came from, but I seemingly still cannot part with. Every time I try and clean my “doom room” I just get too ashamed and overwhelmed to continue. The struggle with my ADHD brain and my executive dysfunction has been making my life terrible, BUT YOU GARRETT have given me the strength and clarity to do it, bc I know I’m not alone. So many are too ashamed themselves to admit and show their “junk drawer rooms” so THANK YOU Garrett for being so open and vulnerable while also putting a smile on my face. You probably won’t see this, but if you do, I, Molly from Maine is cleaning my “doom room” right now bc of you! 😊
I'm so glad that rn that I'm trying to clean my room that I've been putting off for months, I find your video. I love watching videos while I clean, ty😌
I have OCD and its super interesting how different mental disorders yield such opposite results. I spend hours every week organizing and reorganizing things in my house, so I can finally relax. I often find it hard to do anything fun when I haven't done everything "important" my brain tells me needs to be done. Thank you for sharing your struggles!
ocd as a mental disorder can also lead to messiness and complete lack of control in several areas of life, whilst you're busy fixating on one thing. just a reminder for everyone :)
Yeah it really isn’t even connected to specific disorders bc as the other person mentioned, ocd can be overwhelming the person to inaction. I have ocd and it never makes me clean 🤷 if anything the opposite 😭😭😭
@@user-gp7tp3de4g thank you, it’s such an annoying thing to have, the fixating on that one task that’s there “whispering” heyyy I’m still here, don’t forget about this project you need to finish...I’ve needed to deal with things quickly and it gets overwhelming so fast that I stop. Stopping makes it much worse. It creates more problems.
Honestly as someone who’s currently room looks like this atm I’ve been trying really hard to clean it can just CANT get myself to focus long enough to do it then I can’t get rid of some items cuz they are “super important” this made me feel so less alone in this struggle and I think I can actually tackle it thank you for posting stuff like this!
i literally had a friend of mine come over last week to help me clean one of my rooms and pretty much my entire apartment for the exact same reason so I can understand how daunting doing that is; Garrett you're doing amazing!
Okay I’ve never felt more seen and understood than I do when Garrett posts something like this ❤ I always feel like such a trash person when I let a space get like this even tho I soooo get it when others struggle with it too. Also, 5:55 is me with literally every “cool” costume I tried wearing with my glasses on growing up 😂 not Benjamin scaring the crap outta me when you panned the camera over lmaoo
Thank you for being so real with us. This made me feel so less alone. I’m 35 and struggling with this too. I’m working on it, but I have a chronic illness that causes me to have chronic pain among other symptoms. So, on top of the mental part of it, my body is fighting me too. I love all of your videos and I love when Andrew is in them too. Thank you both for all of your hard work to put out such amazing videos. ❤
Every time I watch your videos I'm so happy to see all the importance you give to objects just like I do, literally nobody around me understands how or why some action figure or gem or old toy means to me so I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE but also every time I see a bunch of stuff around you I just want to go and start organizing eeeeverything it's a dream for those of us that enjoy organizing, and when it's organizing RANDOM OBJECTS, freaking paradise, this paragraph makes no sense i'll finish watching the video now
@@garrettunhinged I'm a psych nurse and I can't tell you how helpful it is to so many people. Feeling alone and isolated can be so bad for people. To know that others deal with the same struggles can make some people hopeful and more motivated to learn to cope! Thanks again! 🥰
@@garrettunhinged OH and I've been putting off cleaning my room and I WAS putting off renewing my nursing license (I had to by the 30th of this month) but I finally did it. YAY ME. Lol
Garrett, as a someone who also has ADHD with no concept of executive function, this video made me feel deeply seen. I luckily live in my parents house so my mess is only relegated to a corner in my room. And even better! I actually got diagnosed and meds this year! And MY GOD did it help my retention. And only because of those meds did I have the proper motivation to regularly clean (and not even to a full extent), so please do not feel ashamed just be proud you were able to clear out ONE thing- let alone that whole room! I've basically had to constantly gaslight myself with 'simple' tasks that amount to the bigger task I actually want to finish 😭
Aww Garrett! My apartment just looked like this a couple weeks ago and had looked that way for like 2 years. Finally my good friend came down and really helped me get it together!! I'm glad you posted this! Makes me feel better and so many people probably relate!!
The struggle is very, very real for ADHD folk. lol Honestly, really proud of you for getting this done because I know how hard it can be. I have a LOT of decluttering and organizing I need to do but that "where do I start?" feeling can be really overwhelming and a huge roadblock for me. Knowing others struggle the same way I do is actually really comforting and even a bit motivating. ^_^ Appreciate you.
Yeah! The stopping up and forgetting what you are doing and staring blank is really a thing. Omg. 😅 Im so glad he finished it up. Things like this can get overwhelming
This is really comforting. I struggle to keep thing clean and my ADHD and depression don’t help. But recently with budgeting my boyfriend and I have hired a cleaner once a month, it really helps. At first I was self conscious about but now I feel better about it because they’re work really helps with my mental health. Love you Garrett
I absolutely adore you Garrett. I don’t know if you realize how much you help your audience by being vulnerable and showing something you’re ashamed of. Almost the entire internet only wants to showcase or even create a narrative where their lives and homes are Insta perfect. You are truly such a special, beautiful soul and I feel so grateful to get to see any part of your amazingly interesting mind and life. ❤ you
shame is such a powerful emotion to where it controls everyone and their day to day actions. the fact that you are sharing this even tho you feel ashamed is really helping people like me who suffer similarly. it makes everyone feel a little less alone and a little less judged and that really means a lot to people. thank you for being you garrett ❤
This has given me the motivation to clean my depression house, thank you so much. I didn't know where to start and it's been eating at me, but now I'm going to tackle the clothes first like you did!
Garrett's videos always feel like a nice safe place (safe for the audience, not too sure about how safe Garrett is with all those misadventures) and personally, in some of my most difficult to get through times I've managed to smile or laugh because of these videos. Really grateful for that. Also curious what his favourite type of bee is.
It can be so difficult to start cleaning when it’s overwhelming and can’t think of somewhere to start. Filming is a great idea to feel like someone is there with you and gives the task another purpose. Kinda similar to body doubling which helps too. Just having someone else around really helps feel motivated
I've never felt so seen with how my brain works when having to clear a room out and organise something 😂 I have so many boxes in my study I have to clear out but I'm just like...I don't wanna I wanna go play outlast trials 🥺 But this is such great motivation!!!! You're the best Garrett ✨
Garrett. I just discovered you, like, a month ago, and can I say, I am so glad you exist!! All your videos bring me so much joy and I really wish I could meet you in person. You're such a lovely human being, and thank you for sharing snippets of your life on the internet. You've made me smile and laugh countless times. Now to answer your question! Something I've been putting off is surprisingly, also cleaning my room 😅 I know, not very original, but very true! It's just so easy to have things accumulate, you know? I like doing little clean-outs every few months and I am very overdue for one. I plan on getting it done this weekend though! Thanks for the encouragement and support! Love you!! 💖
Oh Andrea welcome. I'm dang glad you stumbled upon my silly self and that you feel at home here. And yeah, to fight the clutter is a constant thing for me (and it sounds like for you too) but it's the trying that counts! Now get to cleaning your room... it'll feel GOOD.
@@garrettunhinged I thought I could give you an update and say that I did finally clean out my room! I wouldn't say it's perfect, but it's looking much much better than it did before. And it does feel good seeing the aftermath! Thank you for reading all these comments and for such a sweet response. So many people here are so kind; I love this community, and you are the center of it, Garrett. I hope you have an absolutely marvelous day!!!
As someone who has a difficult time cleaning/letting stuff go (my mom usually says I've always been a bit of a hoarder and I can't help but agree), but apparently doesn't have anything (I never have been to a psychologist, so who knows lol), I still kinda get the struggle. You actually inspired me to also take a step towards doing better!
I've been putting off doing my laundry for like a month!! anywayyy I sat here and did it while watch your video (I also struggle with my ADHD and don't do anything till the last minute) lotta love, I literally live for your videos
so proud of you for doing this!! it's taken me several hours-long blocks to even tidy my bedroom, and it's the cleanest it's been in _years_ right now. I found my childhood stuffed animal that I lost like 11 years ago while cleaning out my closet a few months ago. my room isn't done yet, and i have to go through all of my clothes and organize them, which absolutely won't be done before the new year.
Man, videos like this seriously make me and my "inner child" so happy. The struggles of having adhd can be so goddamn exhausting, I've been dealing with it too. but seeing you and your imagination and all your magical little things you own, it's like a safe space. Also, seeing your messy room makes me want to clean up with you! I'm sick though, and not even at home to do that. I'll just enjoy this video instead 😊
I’ve been putting off this exact thing!! Today I finally went through a bunch of clothes that had been in bags and I separated them between what I can sell and what I will donate!! Felt very productive and had originally missed this upload, so feels special seeing it today after getting through my executive dysfunction❤️
garrett's videos are always my top choice to watch while I'm clearing my room which I used to struggle with a lot but thanks to having something nice to watch I've gotten so much better at- so watching this feels like a really cool parallel to that haha.
I've been needing to clean my adhd burn out room /depression room for weeks now and this made me a lil more motivated to do so I'm probably gonna watch this again while I start cleaning to not feel so alone
bro ive always felt so connected to you because of the way i also not only have adhd but i personify literally everything to the point where throwing things away physically can pain me, my family just doesn’t understand and thinks i’m just messy/ lazy but watching you deal with the same thing and still being able to stay positive just validated me so much so THANKS lol
omg i can’t explain how much i relate to your cleaning videos… instead of ADHD, it’s usually my depression that makes cleaning/self-care so hard far me. and more so than shame, i’m usually disgusted with myself tbh. my room is either super clean or super messy and when it becomes a mess, i have no idea where to start, and i always have no idea how things end up so messy in the first place lmao. dude i also found a pill container full of vitamins i said i would take but didn’t, and instead of spiders, i’ve been finding silver fish :’) i legit am so upset with myself rn but this video was super comforting and i know i can’t give up on myself 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Garrett when I watch your videos it feels like I’m catching up with a long lost friend, thank you so much for being unapologetically yourself. I know you were probably so overwhelmed jumping into this room vid but to see you start, and finish a huge project like this (and have fun at the same time) is so inspiring! I think I’ll go clean my garage after work today because of you! ❤️
seeing you struggle with the same thing I struggle with makes me feel a lot better because it's something I'm embarrassed about because I can't keep anything tidy :( thank you for this, and I'm proud of you for trying and succeeding at getting better at it !! ♡♡♡
my whole apartment currently looks like this. i feel so less alone rn🫶🏼 thank you for being you. ur such a breath of fresh air and ur videos make me laugh n smile till my cheeks hurt🤍
As a fellow ADHD er I understand all of this. I'm currently in the process of moving and my whole old house is a wreck. I didn't fully realize how far I'd let it go until now. Ive had to break up the whole process over the last week. Everytime I restart for the day I feel stuck. Thanks for being open and honest about this topic. It's inspired me to finish so I can move on completely to my new home.
My guest bedroom is the exact same and it has traveled into my living room mess bc of the holidays. Having a passing in my family made my brain turn off, seeing this helped motivate me a little. So thanks garret!
I missed you Garrett! I relate to you as well. I’ve done a lot of trying very hard to keep straightening up my room day by day so it doesn’t get to be too much but sometimes it just happens. I am proud of you and grateful for you sharing such vulnerabilities with us ❤️
I still think (as someone who grew up with a hoarder parent) to have gone from his tiny house situation and be able to keep even the living area or any area* of his house clean is an amazing accomplishment
Yesterday I finally cleaned my living room for the first time in weeks. As a fellow ADHD haver, it's so hard to force yourself to function normally, because you get used to letting things pile up and living around it, or in your case if you're not facing it every day it's even harder. Good job!
Super love these videos! I always love spending time with your videos, you help normalize issues that so many folks have but hide. Please keep being your radiant and beautiful self. 💜
Honestly I would love to watch this video unedited, all the video and audio you've got. Hours of it. You're so pure and you're pure chaos and I am here for all of it ♡
I have been putting off cleaning out my dining room full of amazon boxes, painting supplies, podcast equipment etc. I have finally started working on it since family will be here for Thanksgiving tomorrow. SIGH. I love you Garrett!
I don't have ADHD but I do have depression and anxiety so I can relate to things being a mess, both literally and metaphorically. Thank you for being open about your struggles, and also working on things by making it light hearted and fun with videos like this. You're going to motivate a lot of people and help them feel less alone :) Also, to anyone who's interested in uplifting cleaning content with a focus on mental health, check out Auri Katariina, she does amazing work here on RUclips!
Garnett as a fellow ADHD person, I totally get it. For me when it becomes to much I stop for a bit because the idea of starting is absolutely overwhelming.
YEP
YEEEEHHH
Same you can’t stop thinking about all the places you could start but you can’t pick one so you just freeze 😞
Garnett 😅
Oh Garnett
Based on the title and the topic of discussion, I seriously thought this would be a sad video but Garrett has such a way of making everything feel joyful, and lets his viewers know that it’s ok to slip once in a while. I’m so proud of him.
It is so ok. And thank you for this.
@@garrettunhinged thank you for being such a real down to earth creator
youʻre completely right about this! This comment put my thoughts into words, thank you
I thought this a aurikatariina video for a second I didn't even recognize that garrett literally sitting in the middle of the thumbnail
@@spinelessdevil omg same! I love her.
Why is this video not longer?? I could literally watch him for hours. I need a best friend like Garrett!
As someone with ADHD who has accidentally overworked themselves, my executive dysfunction is worse than ever. My apartment is a mess and I haven’t been able to clean properly for weeks. I’m proud of you for going through it all and succeeding. Good job!
Keep working on it, something you can do is try to throw one thing away a day. Just try to make it a habit.
I'm in the exact same spot as you. I felt inspired by this video, but looking around me I can't seem to fathom how or where I would start ;-;
@@Sarah-jr try to get help from family or a friend who’s better at organizing than you. My sister is carrying my ass through cleaning my house rn
There's a girl on youtube called Pearc PRC
She does 1 hour videos of talking while cleaning her room
It's meant to be for people with adhd specifically.
Basically, you just clean your room while listening.
I did it once and I've never been so efficient, hope it helps :)
One piece at a time… you’re going to be okay. Start in a room and move all of one thing out of it… eg the dirty washing or the things that don’t have a home in the room
Taking accountability is a huge step and you even went beyond that!! You got this Garrett!! If it makes you feel better this is literally coming from a recovering hoarder with a history of depression room💀
Yeah I really want to redo my room and I’ve grown out of the style but usually I just try to clean it and then get frustrated leaving a bit of a hoarder in the past doesn’t help me now and especially my ADHD 😅😂
same here and my place has sum areas that went beyond hoarder prblm but at least there's 2 ppl irl who kne that it's depression and they didn't get mad or angry
Playing this video while I attempt to clean my own shameful chaotic room is COMFORTING AF. We out here cleaning together Garrett :')
I hope you got your room clean :3 if not that's okay too , your just displaying your personality also making it harder for bad guys to get your items :D
Wholesome :)
that’s what i did to clean my entire room when it had gotten really really bad, it’s very useful seeing other people be productive, i totally suggest doing it to anyone who needs the help :)
@@RaurXDberry Trrruuu never thought of it that way haha
Dude you just helped me feel so safe and more human because I have been struggling to function executively for a few months to the point of hating food because eating felt like a chore, and I love food. My room looks like my brain and my closet looks like my suppressed thoughts. I'm getting closer to starting to clean it, which isn't much, but my brain is making progress. Thank you, Garrett ❤
That's an ADHD thing?! I've lost 5 pounds due to stress, but also because eating is less appealing to me than sleep, and I'm just now realising why. God damn it, it's always the ADHD...
Something that helped me with food (since starting anything is a chore in itself) was “make the food and sit in front of it as long as it would take to eat it”. Then I didn’t have to make the food and eat the food, just make it. I trained myself to make the food, and it was easier to approach eating it.
I struggle to function in purely executive way too sir don’t feel bad
Hey, it's been a while, how are you doing now? (If you want to talk about it of course, no pressure)
oh my god, this is all so relatable. "my room looks like my brain and my closet looks like my suppressed thoughts" is the most accurate and expressive thing i've read in a while 😩
The ultimate mask off ADHD moment. No masking whatsoever. Love to see it. I only get like this when I’m alone cause most people can’t handle the chaos.
not Garrett gently reminding me to clean my depression room(s). For real, thank you, Garrett. You're timing is always perfect for me. You 100% just unknowingly stopped a major depressive episode in its tracks. I love and appreciate you.
I feel this so so much! I cleaned behind my bed while watching and even started on my depression laundry room. Life is hard, but we got this💛💛
U got this💛 not in a stress way but we are literally just annoyingly overly evolved apes. Clean what and when u can. Doesn’t mean ur less of a person /less loveable:)
Can I just say, considering Garrett’s past with hoarding and knowing he has ADHD, he’s done so well! Good on you for recognising the issue and doing your best to hold yourself accountable Garrett, you should be proud of how far you’ve come.
Also it’s so nice to see people showing this side of things and humanising the experience, this does so much good in so many ways.
Love ya Garrett!!
Speaking for myself and a lot of my customers (I own a housekeeping company) we have have rooms like this. We all have days and months like this. Don’t be hard on yourself. You are not alone. Find a way that help YOU clean the best. My mom picks up 10 things at a time. I start at a corner and work clock wise. Everyone is different. But even picking up 10 things a day works. My therapist said “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly”. Meaning it’s better to try a little than not try at all! You’re doing great! ♥️♥️♥️
I’m a mom in my 40’s with ADHD. Thank you for having entertaining content that even someone as far outside of your target demographic as I am can still enjoy and relate to.
Me too☺️
Listen, you’re making so many people feel less alone. Your transparency is so refreshing. Thank you!
Definitely. Reading the comments in this community is making me feel much better.
Agreed. I thought I was one of a very small club that has a room like this. I walk in, and walk right back out. I don’t know where to start. Not even my ADD meds help me concentrate on the task at hand. I’ve been told 35+ different ways how to just start, and I get so overwhelmed I just shut down and do absolutely nothing. Then, I’m mad at myself for wasting the time. It’s a vicious cycle….
Those of us with ADHD feel seen and heard and with one of our own. We love you, Garrett. There’s always that room or closet. Or garage. Or shed. Or storage unit. Or all of the above. And just as we’re holding you accountable, you’re holding us accountable, too. ❤
Edit: This vid was also the perfect birthday gift. Just seeing your bright, happy smile is all the gift I need!
This is so cathartic for me to watch - if you ever do this again, honestly I would love this to be live-streamed so I can clean with you!
That would actually be so nice!!
This is actually super relatable and I seriously commend you for being open about this and making people like me feel less judged alone
Garrett could literally post a video of himself just sitting on a couch eating chips and I think I’d still be excited to watch it - his genuine personality makes anything interesting ♥️♥️♥️
Like the podcast! I miss the podcast
Yes, when I discovered the podcast it helped me though a very weird time in my life. Can't wait for phase two!
Or a car vlog at night
This is why I miss the podcast
Honestly, going from house full of stuff to only one room as the sole fallen soldier to hoarding, that's massive progress. I have OCD and had to consciously stop myself from hoarding, so the struggle is relatable. Cleaning up??? Scares me 😭😭 You're doing greattt
me too!!! my mom (who i know longer talk to) would say like "how can you have OCD you're so messy!!" but OCD is not just cleaning!! sometimes it is hoarding haha
Honestly as a fellow ADHDer as well… I commend you for how far you have come. I think having one room like this isn’t something to be ashamed of for neurodivergent brains like ours. It’s able to be contained and one room is manageable. Also, I’m commenting on this before the video is done… you are doing something that I have just learned about and that’s called body doubling. Sometimes our ADHD brain works better when someone is around I guess like you said… making yourself feel accountable in a way.
Garret unhinged is probably poppin off better than he expected lmfao! Keep up the good work! ≤3
Thanks for sharing this Garrett! This is definitely one of the biggest things I’ve had to deal with with depression. I don’t have the energy to deal with something immediately so I leave it, then as it piles up just the thought of trying to do it is so intimidating it makes me panic, and then it’s a spiral. The more I panic the more I don’t want to do it, which makes it worse and worse! I’ve been trying really hard to get better at this, but I still slip up sometimes. I’ve been trying a method of like, every time I leave my room I’ll bring out like 2-3 items. Something really small and manageable, that makes me feel accomplished. I think this can help with things like that room, maybe just go in there with a bag and pile some stuff into it, then just sort what’s in that one bag. Small, accomplishable tasks that make you feel good and productive are really helpful, especially when you realize that you’re actually enjoying doing it. Thanks for sharing the mud and being so authentic with us. I think stuff like this would make a great live stream too! Like a “let’s clean our rooms together!” And people can share their before and after photos and we can all be accountability buddies :) good luck with setting up your ghost room! Can’t wait to see more ^_^
Reading thru these comments and looking at my "depression house" makes me wanna start a Livestream cleaning channel
This comment is so good. Hey we are gonna be ok. And just thank you for being you and taking the time to comment this.
@@garrettunhinged would join a "lets clean house" livestream. Fun body-doubling shortcut! (Look up adhd body-doubling if you havent heard the term)
@@irradiated_woman8016 honestly such a hack! Have been utilising it since I was a tween without even realising. Didn’t know it had a real name until I just looked up what you commented
@@sarahperez4639 do it, I’ll happily join😂 my apartment is a sortment of my adhd/depression.🙃
Garrett, your channel is literally just a safe space to go to. I was diagnosed with ADHD a year ago, and every time I watch your videos, I feel validated. Thank you for your genuine and funny videos that make me feel like I’m not alone 🤍
Came here to say this but you summed it up so much better than I could have worded it! I feel like I have a friend with me through this journey called life ❤
wow holy shit, this actually is so beyond comforting? like that word doesn’t even do it justice how much this makes me feel like all the negative things i say to myself are not helping, my room has looked very similar to this for almost two years, it’s debilitating , not to mention humiliating, seeing someone of your status struggle with the same issue makes it feel so much less shameful, and way more like i’m just a person struggling, like everyone else :( thank u
you can do it! it's really difficult but you will feel so much relief. it may feel shameful and terribly embarrassing, but sometimes you just need to run through with a trashbag or laundry basket.good luck.
I can totally sympathize with this. I am so terrified of having extra space in our home cause my brain will absolutely do this same thing. And the fact that there's a door and you can close it and forget about it ugh that sounds so dangerously good to me 😭
Okay so hear me out, I don't want someone else to be uncomfortable more, but I wished there was more of this video. I would love to clean with someone like this and maybe I can tackle my doom room if I keep this energy on repeat because ten minutes more shared from this lovely human, could never get too much of it!
I'll make more longer form like very Lowkey hang-with-me videos on this channel
@@garrettunhinged oh god I’d love that so much
@@garrettunhinged this thought makes my heart happy
If you want more to watch, there's a few organization videos on The Kitchen & Jorn Show channel that I recommend! They also have ADHD and I think it's really comforting and helpful to see how they're able to clean up their homes
@@garrettunhinged yes!! love that!
I have depression mixed with ADHD, so the disorganization mixed with lack of motivation really makes it where my house looks horrible all the time lol This video is too relatable, I love you Garrett for being honest about it. ❤
Your comment is too relatable. 😂
I've never been able to get a handle on it, so now I just work on acceptance. 😁
Same! My house looks crazy. Depression room after depression room but I know where everything is somehow..???
@@AdelleOverton maybe someone can help you. Getting started is the worst. Maybe it helps when a friend or family member cleaned a bit for you.
Getting home to a clean space hits you different.
@@AdelleOverton Haha sameeee! Gotta live with the weird adhd chaos and expect no one to get it haha
@@sarahperez4639 Same! My whole home is a depression room but I know exactly where everything is haha
My room is starting to look like this and I find it so reassuring to see someone not shy away from stuff like this, can't wait to listen while cleaning my room
Garrett, I have a room exactly like this if not worse in my house, it’s been gradually getting worse over about 2 1/2 years, and this video finally motivated me to clean it. I’m 80% done and it’s cleaner than it’s been most of the time I’ve lived here. It is so relieving
i feel like most people with adhd (like myself) gravitate towards your channel because you show all the ups and all the downs of living with a crazy ass brain, and i just wanted to say I'm so proud of what you accomplished with that room, i know how hard it is to start on something that looks so big, but it makes me want to do a clean up myself!
I second this. And I understand your chaos it happens to me especially when life’s wild and it kinda reflects how the inside of my head feels lol 😂
You’re not alone Garrett, I am actually so glad you showed this on camera because I was just feeling ashamed of myself because of how often my house gets like this and I always assumed I was the only one who experiences this regularly, I never see that other people have to go through it, thank you so much for this🥺💓it honestly means the world to me how honest you are, I feel less alone. I totally relate to how you feel.
Thank you for showing a vulnerable situation showcasing what ADHD really is, Garrett. My boyfriend and I also have a junkroom...and junk drawer. I always thought I was the only one to just put everything you don't wanna deal with in one room.
hi garrett! i just wanted to say thank you so so so much for making this video!! it felt so relieving and supportive seeing someone else be open about struggles with things like organization and keeping a tidy home, not only did watching you clean and organize motivate me to do the same thing but it also made me feel so much less ashamed of my struggles with tidyness, staying on track, and other adhd-isms. thank u from the bottom of my heart for making this!! i love your stuff and this video is really special to me 💗
Garrett literally can not explain how happy for you i am, as someone who deals with the same thing it can be really hard and overwhelming to sit down and deal with this kind of stuff. Recently done this type of purge myself and felt so much better after doing it.
Yeah I’m feeling so good :.-)
Same, I have adhd also depression so I can have an episode where I legit can't clean my room and have to mentally be okay to get it done, but I'm working on it. I got my room clean 2 days ago ....then my mom destroyed it but it's okay. I have something to do when I'm bored now !
@@RaurXDberry it can be so hard to deal with that kind of thing, and I am as proud as i can be of you as a stranger on the internet
@@user-rr9wy1sy3h 💛💛💛💛
I know this video is lighthearted but you shouldn't be ashamed of this at all- as someone who has also struggled with this, in part due to mental health issues and in part because I grew up in a similar environment, I see how far you have come. Your house looks so good. It can be hard for people to understand how overwhelming it can be and how easily things can get out of hand. This content is so helpful for people who don't realize how common of a struggle this can be, so thank you for making it and for being vulnerable with your audience. We are so happy for you!
I just completed folding a mountain of clean clothes that had been taking up my loveseat and reading chair for a month and a half. We’d just pick from the pile when we needed clothes or directly from the dryer. I’d keep on top of washing things but for weeks the thought of folding them was so overwhelming. Next thing to tackle are the dishes. Coming out of a depression spiral sucks but you showing moments like this makes people like me feel not so alone. Thank you. 💜
I have raging ADHD as well and all the clutter in my house is extremely overwhelming so I totally understand!!! You’re videos have always brought me comfort in that sense because you’re so open and honest about what it’s like to live with ADHD and the chaos that comes with it. You should totally do livestreams where we all just get together and clean lmao
Seeing this video and reading all these comments has made me so grateful to be in such a nice and supportive community. It makes me feel seen and understood, like i’m not alone in this. Thank you all so much
Hey Garrett, thank you so much for showing this side of you. I feel like all of us slowly lose our grip on keeping a tidy environment from time to time, especially when things get tough. Not only did you show me that other people go through this too, but you showed how holding yourself accountable does lead to betterment! Thank you❤️
So proud of you after seeing this! I just recently cleaned a room of mine that was a mess for the last 6 months, took a few days but it feels so good seeing it clean. I was completely overwhelmed by it, but I worked on it a little bit at a time and that helped a lot lol
I feel like I’m watching myself trying to clean and organize! I’ve been loving you and supporting you for years🤎 keep being you bc you’re EVERYTHING
I honestly truly genuinely am proud of you this type of shit is so hard with adhd and executive dysfunction and I know it always gets harder and more depressing and upsetting the longer I leave something, so I’m sure it was rough for you to get started. I’m all for you using your channel to help you do stuff like this. Monetize it even
Hey Garrett! Just wanted you (and Andrew if he ever sees this) that when I watch yall's videos I always get so happy and it's such a huge comfort to me (even the scary videos mwahaha) I've been watching your videos for a couple years now and I'm so glad to stick around this long!! I like this new channel it's a bit different then your main but I get to see even more funny chaos! K, thank you! And love you!!
Yeah this channel is just for smaller kinda silly stuff that I want to do. Like just a sandbox vibe. Jordan I am glad you like what I do and that I can entertain you. It's an honor.
I very much relate to this video. It's so comforting seeing someone going through the same issue as I do. I suffer from both adhd and depression, so cleaning is pretty hard for me to get motivation to do. You inspire us Garrett! Thanks so much for being realistic about your struggles
Thank you garret I’m also an adhd person who has a “Dudley’s Second Bedroom” situation happening at all times. It’s overwhelming because I’m supposed to have my parents stayin there for visits but some how everything ends up accumulating and then I also get so ashamed it feels like I can’t move. I find that updating my progress with my friends and family is the only way I can make meaningful progress. But it can be embarrassing to get to that point. I’m glad that your RUclips video could help inspire you. Keep up the good work messy or clean doesn’t affect how people who care for you see you as a person.
This video makes me feel significantly less alone. It also helps motivate me to clean my bedroom. Love you so much Garrett. I’m proud of you always.
I was even procrastinating watching this video bc my room is the exact same, filled with random clothes and Knick knacks that I don’t even know where they came from, but I seemingly still cannot part with. Every time I try and clean my “doom room” I just get too ashamed and overwhelmed to continue. The struggle with my ADHD brain and my executive dysfunction has been making my life terrible, BUT YOU GARRETT have given me the strength and clarity to do it, bc I know I’m not alone. So many are too ashamed themselves to admit and show their “junk drawer rooms” so THANK YOU Garrett for being so open and vulnerable while also putting a smile on my face. You probably won’t see this, but if you do, I, Molly from Maine is cleaning my “doom room” right now bc of you! 😊
Watching this and thinking how much Garrett has grown over the years makes me so happy and inspired ☺️ YOU GO BOI, GIVE US ✨BEHAVIORAL GROWTH✨
I'm so glad that rn that I'm trying to clean my room that I've been putting off for months, I find your video. I love watching videos while I clean, ty😌
I have OCD and its super interesting how different mental disorders yield such opposite results. I spend hours every week organizing and reorganizing things in my house, so I can finally relax. I often find it hard to do anything fun when I haven't done everything "important" my brain tells me needs to be done. Thank you for sharing your struggles!
ocd as a mental disorder can also lead to messiness and complete lack of control in several areas of life, whilst you're busy fixating on one thing. just a reminder for everyone :)
Yeah it really isn’t even connected to specific disorders bc as the other person mentioned, ocd can be overwhelming the person to inaction. I have ocd and it never makes me clean 🤷 if anything the opposite 😭😭😭
@@user-gp7tp3de4g thank you, it’s such an annoying thing to have, the fixating on that one task that’s there “whispering” heyyy I’m still here, don’t forget about this project you need to finish...I’ve needed to deal with things quickly and it gets overwhelming so fast that I stop. Stopping makes it much worse. It creates more problems.
It’s so nice to just chill with Garrett like this ❤️
10 minutes 😭😭
Honestly as someone who’s currently room looks like this atm I’ve been trying really hard to clean it can just CANT get myself to focus long enough to do it then I can’t get rid of some items cuz they are “super important” this made me feel so less alone in this struggle and I think I can actually tackle it thank you for posting stuff like this!
i literally had a friend of mine come over last week to help me clean one of my rooms and pretty much my entire apartment for the exact same reason so I can understand how daunting doing that is; Garrett you're doing amazing!
Okay I’ve never felt more seen and understood than I do when Garrett posts something like this ❤ I always feel like such a trash person when I let a space get like this even tho I soooo get it when others struggle with it too. Also, 5:55 is me with literally every “cool” costume I tried wearing with my glasses on growing up 😂 not Benjamin scaring the crap outta me when you panned the camera over lmaoo
Thank you for being so real with us. This made me feel so less alone. I’m 35 and struggling with this too. I’m working on it, but I have a chronic illness that causes me to have chronic pain among other symptoms. So, on top of the mental part of it, my body is fighting me too.
I love all of your videos and I love when Andrew is in them too. Thank you both for all of your hard work to put out such amazing videos. ❤
Every time I watch your videos I'm so happy to see all the importance you give to objects just like I do, literally nobody around me understands how or why some action figure or gem or old toy means to me so I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE but also every time I see a bunch of stuff around you I just want to go and start organizing eeeeverything it's a dream for those of us that enjoy organizing, and when it's organizing RANDOM OBJECTS, freaking paradise, this paragraph makes no sense i'll finish watching the video now
You're amazing. Thank you for sharing so others don't feel so alone. 🥰
OMG lmfao....just realized this was posted 18 freaking seconds ago! 😳 🤣 Nice. Dude I have adhd too. It's freaking rough.
Oh yeah we are all such little weirdos. feels good to share.
@@garrettunhinged I'm a psych nurse and I can't tell you how helpful it is to so many people. Feeling alone and isolated can be so bad for people. To know that others deal with the same struggles can make some people hopeful and more motivated to learn to cope! Thanks again! 🥰
@@garrettunhinged OH and I've been putting off cleaning my room and I WAS putting off renewing my nursing license (I had to by the 30th of this month) but I finally did it. YAY ME. Lol
Garrett, as a someone who also has ADHD with no concept of executive function, this video made me feel deeply seen. I luckily live in my parents house so my mess is only relegated to a corner in my room.
And even better! I actually got diagnosed and meds this year! And MY GOD did it help my retention. And only because of those meds did I have the proper motivation to regularly clean (and not even to a full extent), so please do not feel ashamed just be proud you were able to clear out ONE thing- let alone that whole room! I've basically had to constantly gaslight myself with 'simple' tasks that amount to the bigger task I actually want to finish 😭
Aww Garrett! My apartment just looked like this a couple weeks ago and had looked that way for like 2 years. Finally my good friend came down and really helped me get it together!! I'm glad you posted this! Makes me feel better and so many people probably relate!!
The struggle is very, very real for ADHD folk. lol Honestly, really proud of you for getting this done because I know how hard it can be. I have a LOT of decluttering and organizing I need to do but that "where do I start?" feeling can be really overwhelming and a huge roadblock for me. Knowing others struggle the same way I do is actually really comforting and even a bit motivating. ^_^ Appreciate you.
Yeah! The stopping up and forgetting what you are doing and staring blank is really a thing. Omg. 😅 Im so glad he finished it up. Things like this can get overwhelming
This is really comforting. I struggle to keep thing clean and my ADHD and depression don’t help. But recently with budgeting my boyfriend and I have hired a cleaner once a month, it really helps. At first I was self conscious about but now I feel better about it because they’re work really helps with my mental health. Love you Garrett
I absolutely adore you Garrett. I don’t know if you realize how much you help your audience by being vulnerable and showing something you’re ashamed of. Almost the entire internet only wants to showcase or even create a narrative where their lives and homes are Insta perfect. You are truly such a special, beautiful soul and I feel so grateful to get to see any part of your amazingly interesting mind and life. ❤ you
shame is such a powerful emotion to where it controls everyone and their day to day actions. the fact that you are sharing this even tho you feel ashamed is really helping people like me who suffer similarly. it makes everyone feel a little less alone and a little less judged and that really means a lot to people. thank you for being you garrett ❤
9:28 me when someone asks what’s 2+2
This has given me the motivation to clean my depression house, thank you so much. I didn't know where to start and it's been eating at me, but now I'm going to tackle the clothes first like you did!
Garrett's videos always feel like a nice safe place (safe for the audience, not too sure about how safe Garrett is with all those misadventures) and personally, in some of my most difficult to get through times I've managed to smile or laugh because of these videos. Really grateful for that. Also curious what his favourite type of bee is.
It can be so difficult to start cleaning when it’s overwhelming and can’t think of somewhere to start. Filming is a great idea to feel like someone is there with you and gives the task another purpose. Kinda similar to body doubling which helps too. Just having someone else around really helps feel motivated
your honesty and vulnerability is truly inspiring, thanks for making me and so many others feel less alone ❤️❤️❤️
I've never felt so seen with how my brain works when having to clear a room out and organise something 😂 I have so many boxes in my study I have to clear out but I'm just like...I don't wanna I wanna go play outlast trials 🥺 But this is such great motivation!!!! You're the best Garrett ✨
Thank you for sharing and posting! I cleaned and organized a room I've been avoiding while I watched and listened. 💜
Garrett. I just discovered you, like, a month ago, and can I say, I am so glad you exist!! All your videos bring me so much joy and I really wish I could meet you in person. You're such a lovely human being, and thank you for sharing snippets of your life on the internet. You've made me smile and laugh countless times.
Now to answer your question! Something I've been putting off is surprisingly, also cleaning my room 😅 I know, not very original, but very true! It's just so easy to have things accumulate, you know? I like doing little clean-outs every few months and I am very overdue for one. I plan on getting it done this weekend though! Thanks for the encouragement and support! Love you!! 💖
Oh Andrea welcome. I'm dang glad you stumbled upon my silly self and that you feel at home here. And yeah, to fight the clutter is a constant thing for me (and it sounds like for you too) but it's the trying that counts! Now get to cleaning your room... it'll feel GOOD.
@@garrettunhinged
I thought I could give you an update and say that I did finally clean out my room! I wouldn't say it's perfect, but it's looking much much better than it did before. And it does feel good seeing the aftermath! Thank you for reading all these comments and for such a sweet response. So many people here are so kind; I love this community, and you are the center of it, Garrett. I hope you have an absolutely marvelous day!!!
As someone who has a difficult time cleaning/letting stuff go (my mom usually says I've always been a bit of a hoarder and I can't help but agree), but apparently doesn't have anything (I never have been to a psychologist, so who knows lol), I still kinda get the struggle. You actually inspired me to also take a step towards doing better!
I relate so much. 10 mins wasn't long enough! I could watch/clean to one of these videos for hours!
@@sarahperez4639 Same! I started cleaning along! I'd be happy if he did a second video cleaning for 30 more minutes lol
@@ItsJustValHere omg yes! He said in another comment that there's longer form videos coming🤞🤞
I've been putting off doing my laundry for like a month!! anywayyy I sat here and did it while watch your video (I also struggle with my ADHD and don't do anything till the last minute) lotta love, I literally live for your videos
so proud of you for doing this!! it's taken me several hours-long blocks to even tidy my bedroom, and it's the cleanest it's been in _years_ right now. I found my childhood stuffed animal that I lost like 11 years ago while cleaning out my closet a few months ago. my room isn't done yet, and i have to go through all of my clothes and organize them, which absolutely won't be done before the new year.
Man, videos like this seriously make me and my "inner child" so happy. The struggles of having adhd can be so goddamn exhausting, I've been dealing with it too. but seeing you and your imagination and all your magical little things you own, it's like a safe space. Also, seeing your messy room makes me want to clean up with you! I'm sick though, and not even at home to do that. I'll just enjoy this video instead 😊
I love when Garret makes a new video. After a stressful week this is what I need . Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤you bring me comfort 😭😂
I’ve been putting off this exact thing!! Today I finally went through a bunch of clothes that had been in bags and I separated them between what I can sell and what I will donate!! Felt very productive and had originally missed this upload, so feels special seeing it today after getting through my executive dysfunction❤️
garrett's videos are always my top choice to watch while I'm clearing my room which I used to struggle with a lot but thanks to having something nice to watch I've gotten so much better at- so watching this feels like a really cool parallel to that haha.
I've been needing to clean my adhd burn out room /depression room for weeks now and this made me a lil more motivated to do so I'm probably gonna watch this again while I start cleaning to not feel so alone
bro ive always felt so connected to you because of the way i also not only have adhd but i personify literally everything to the point where throwing things away physically can pain me, my family just doesn’t understand and thinks i’m just messy/ lazy but watching you deal with the same thing and still being able to stay positive just validated me so much so THANKS lol
SAME it is so fun to see that other people are like this too!
omg i can’t explain how much i relate to your cleaning videos… instead of ADHD, it’s usually my depression that makes cleaning/self-care so hard far me. and more so than shame, i’m usually disgusted with myself tbh. my room is either super clean or super messy and when it becomes a mess, i have no idea where to start, and i always have no idea how things end up so messy in the first place lmao. dude i also found a pill container full of vitamins i said i would take but didn’t, and instead of spiders, i’ve been finding silver fish :’) i legit am so upset with myself rn but this video was super comforting and i know i can’t give up on myself 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I’ve been needing to organize my depression nest and this is giving me the motivation to actually do it. Thank you Garrett 😭
Garrett when I watch your videos it feels like I’m catching up with a long lost friend, thank you so much for being unapologetically yourself. I know you were probably so overwhelmed jumping into this room vid but to see you start, and finish a huge project like this (and have fun at the same time) is so inspiring! I think I’ll go clean my garage after work today because of you! ❤️
seeing you struggle with the same thing I struggle with makes me feel a lot better because it's something I'm embarrassed about because I can't keep anything tidy :( thank you for this, and I'm proud of you for trying and succeeding at getting better at it !! ♡♡♡
I just found your channel and already I know I’m gonna like it here. Sending love from my depression nest 😬
my whole apartment currently looks like this. i feel so less alone rn🫶🏼
thank you for being you. ur such a breath of fresh air and ur videos make me laugh n smile till my cheeks hurt🤍
As a fellow ADHD er I understand all of this. I'm currently in the process of moving and my whole old house is a wreck. I didn't fully realize how far I'd let it go until now. Ive had to break up the whole process over the last week. Everytime I restart for the day I feel stuck. Thanks for being open and honest about this topic. It's inspired me to finish so I can move on completely to my new home.
My guest bedroom is the exact same and it has traveled into my living room mess bc of the holidays. Having a passing in my family made my brain turn off, seeing this helped motivate me a little. So thanks garret!
I missed you Garrett! I relate to you as well. I’ve done a lot of trying very hard to keep straightening up my room day by day so it doesn’t get to be too much but sometimes it just happens. I am proud of you and grateful for you sharing such vulnerabilities with us ❤️
I think Garrett is the only person who could motivate me to clean my room ever LMAO
I mean, if I can do it CERTAINLY anyone can. Good luck Mikan! Also, your pfp sent my ego to the sky.
I still think (as someone who grew up with a hoarder parent) to have gone from his tiny house situation and be able to keep even the living area or any area* of his house clean is an amazing accomplishment
you’re motivating me to tackle my depression room!!! thank you!!!
You are so awesome! I love your authenticity, creativity and heart. You give hope and acceptance to others. Thank you.
Yesterday I finally cleaned my living room for the first time in weeks. As a fellow ADHD haver, it's so hard to force yourself to function normally, because you get used to letting things pile up and living around it, or in your case if you're not facing it every day it's even harder. Good job!
Super love these videos! I always love spending time with your videos, you help normalize issues that so many folks have but hide. Please keep being your radiant and beautiful self. 💜
My first video of yours- sooo good
I subscribed.
Thank you for this. I needed it more than i knew.
Honestly I would love to watch this video unedited, all the video and audio you've got. Hours of it. You're so pure and you're pure chaos and I am here for all of it ♡
This is definitely my favorite channel on RUclips. Thank you for always making my day when you upload!
I've been putting off my uni assignments and cleaning my room.
This video was helpful for me getting out of bed. And I love you energy.
I have been putting off cleaning out my dining room full of amazon boxes, painting supplies, podcast equipment etc. I have finally started working on it since family will be here for Thanksgiving tomorrow. SIGH. I love you Garrett!
I don't have ADHD but I do have depression and anxiety so I can relate to things being a mess, both literally and metaphorically. Thank you for being open about your struggles, and also working on things by making it light hearted and fun with videos like this. You're going to motivate a lot of people and help them feel less alone :) Also, to anyone who's interested in uplifting cleaning content with a focus on mental health, check out Auri Katariina, she does amazing work here on RUclips!
