Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

@NatureLover I'm so glad things are falling into place for you with the jobs and the laptop. I'm glad you're seeing friends too. It's important to have that ongoing support when so much is changing. 

I'm OK, probably nothing's really wrong. I wish I wasn't so sluggish. Tomorrow will be better I hope. It's quite a while since I spoke to anyone which is adding to my low mood.

 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Thanks, @Dimity . Yes  so much is changing. 

 

Glad you are OK. Depression sucks, though. 🫂 Does it help to chat to the checkout person when shopping? I know that used to help me. 

 

I need to stay home today and tidy the house. It seems ages since I've seen my psychologist. I think it must be next Friday. I want to give her a good report of the house if possible. Certainly couldn't right now! 

 

Hope today is better for you 🤞

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

I had  a quiet day @NatureLover . Mostly chores. I use the self checkout as I can't wrangle my shopping jeep through a checkout. 

I think I've given up hope of things improving.  I see the social worker again tomorrow. Pointless really.

Best wishes for your new job tomorrow. 

 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Well done for doing chores, @Dimity . Better than me! I got distracted by people and went out for another long dog walk. So the house isn't tidied. 

 

You sound really depressed and feeling hopeless 😥 Sorry to hear. Maybe the social worker appt will go better than you think?...Sending wishes 🤞

 

Thanks for your wishes for my new job. 

 

Sending hugs 🫂

How did it go @NatureLover ? I trust the people were welcoming. 

My counselling appointment was a bit disappointing although she tried to be supportive. 

The sunshine today was nice but I  skipped my walk, I was too tired after my appointment (it was draining).

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Hi @Dimity   sorry your appt was draining and disappointing 😣

 

I hope you were able to sleep last night. 

 

The admin work I'm doing for the bigger charity is from home, on Mondays and Thursdays. However they didn't email me yesterday. Maybe I'll start on Thursday.

 

The work I'll be doing for the small charity will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, starting next week. That's only 2 hours a day, but I can get out of the house and go into the office for that one. 

 

I guess down the track I can choose to focus on one or the other if it's too much for me. But I'll see how they go first. 

 

Coffee out today. I managed an hour of tidying yesterday. All except for the kitchen. 

 

I hope you feel less drained today, and can get done what you'd like...
