I'm so glad this worked for you. I think I will try it. I, too find myself mired in emotional quicksand and really just numb to everything lately. Since 2017, I've lost both parents and my 52yo younger brother. I don't feel morosely depressed (at least I don"t think I do), and for the most part think I'm coping okay. I just feel mostly uninspired and often find myself wondering what is the point of all this? The crazy shit happening in this country also really gets me down sometimes.

Housework has never been my forte, but I do wish I could find a workable routine that would keep the clutter and papers at bay, and keep it all from getting too overwhelming. I feel better when things are clean and uncluttered, but I know myself well enough to know I will never spend hours at a time cleaning. I tore a couple discs in my back about 10 yrs ago and they quite literally won't allow me to do heavy cleaning. But if I'm honest I never liked doing it anyway. It does make me feel a wee bit better to know that there are others that have similar struggles.
