DEEP CLEANING & DECLUTTERING: organizing my apartment for my mental health, huge closet cleanout

[@prudencewanjiku5986]

I totally understand the feeling of like feeling overwhelmed and angry at everything and how stressful that is and btw the time I want to fix it it’s so bad that tou just want to cry

[@brittanyngia]

URGH yes its like why can’t i process feelings any other way than tears and anger

[@nuhreeyahk2033]

Life does get overwhelming most times especially when your space isn’t clean.. your mind feels foggy and you just can’t think clearly. Don’t feel alone cause you’re not. Cry if you need to. Things will get better❤

[@brittanyngia]

ily 💗 i do feel like i’ve been in a fog for a while

[@hellaaajenn]

Really really appreciating how vulnerable & open you’ve allowed yourself to be about these struggles. Absolutely easy to forget how emotionally taxing cleaning can be, & the toll it (& a messy environment) can take on your mental health. Props 👏🏽

[@lostandfoundd]

Top tip, I know it's not always possible for everyone, but the less stuff you own, the less stuff there is to get messy/clean xx

[@brittanyduffer2473]

Thank you for this. I watch these kinds of videos when I need motivation. It's hard to find someone who is real about it all and the emotional toll. You are not alone. It's hard to be raw, but you're not alone.

[@jesshillon1334]

yes I am so sick of pristine homes with 5 items out of place being called deep cleans or huge declutters, this video is great as is actually relatable

[@ChaCooksChillies]

I started my closet clean out 3 days ago and I’m watching this video while folding my clothes and ironing them! Anyways, I LOVE your hair and personality! Take care and always smile! :) ❤

[@brittanyngia]

omg i’m glad i could provide some inspo to NOT let your room get to my stage

[@AdvocateMoksh]

So I went through depression some years ago. Reading, meditation, exercise, good friends and good food heals ❤ Your cat 😍

[@kaylakatelyn]

you are not alone, I have been sooo angry lately for no reason especially when it comes to cleaning 🤦‍♀️ this was motivation to try my best & get some more cleaning done ❤️ it can be so aggravating but we got this 🙏 new subscriber btw 😊

[@brittanyngia]

if this vid helped you start cleaning i’m beyond impressed (& happy for u) 🤭

[@HannahAbrahim]

Girl I 1000000% feel you, I’m watching this video to find the motivation to clean my own room because it’s gotten so bad that every inch of my floors is hidden by clothes… I get so angry when I can’t find something that I just burst into tears and scream. I feel like your room is a reflection of your mental state and man I been living in a mess my whole life, so here’s to a fresh start🥂

[@HannahAbrahim]

Also fight on😇✌🏽❤️💛

[@athenasn]

Omg I feel the exact same way!! Like when im overwhelmed, overstimulated, like when im irritated or sum doesnt go my way i feel like i get soooo passionately like intensely mad like the feeling is just so intense i start to burn up and idk what it is just everything recently has just been pissing me off like😭

[@MaryceliaA]

i resonate with you so much brittany, like i hate cleaning so much, it overwhelms me and tires me out. I remember i watched one of your videos, where you talked about how much you disliked cleaning and i just felt like i could totally relate to you. cus i watch all these videos of people who love and enjoy to clean, who find cleaning therapeutic and calming and i’m like howww?😂 it’s such a struggle eveytime i meant to clean my room today, i’ve been pushing off cleaning it but i couldn’t do it. I just want to say that there’s no judgement over here❤❤

[@Chicachonker]

I get frustrated from the mess from others (especially when I cleaned it and it's messy again in few hours time) so I just isolate myself in my room cuz it's clean and my comfort space also I had just like you at first a lot of stuff hanging around and it really helped me to keep it tidy to be less mad and frustrated and have a comfort space to go to

[@Mariaq737]

Thank You for being so honest. Lately when watching cleaning decluttering videos I see that a lot of youtubers say they like cleaning, and then I feel bad that I don't, so thank you for for making this so relatable. I've cried while cleaning before too.

[@sophiak8485]

I live for your cleaning videos!! My room was so bad I was tripping over my stuff and playing the floor is lava. It can be so overwhelming to clean at times so I totally understand. I didn’t even know where to start! You got this though!! 🧹😌 it gets better! And shoutout to your mans for helping you 😁

[@rebeccalewis9476]

You motivated me to start my Sunday reset 🥰 I also get really overstimulated/overwhelmed by mess and not knowing where to start, you’re not alone ❤️

[@jesshillon1334]

its so refreshing to see someone with nice things but that's also calling themselves a hoarder/ struggles to be tidy/ hates tidying because I am SICK of only being able to relate to people with stuff they hate / extreme hoarding (no hate to anyone struggling with real hoarding issues). Like I have nice stuff an the potential to have a nice home I just hate tidying / am 'lazy'... or on the other extreme the houses are pristine with like 5 items out of place and they say 'huge declutter/deep clean' and its just someone cleaning an already show room looking home love. the energy in this video

[@victoriapaigew]

this!

[@kelseyjuel3127]

girl i cant even relate more im living in a nightmare and have to move in a few months and im just so overwhemed! i just try one little task at a time but them stuff just builds up and it feels like i get nowhere. thanks for this video just knowing there other out there that are dealing with this really helps to not feel so alone with this journey!

[@lindabonomi7274]

Be patient with yourself...just do something little every day...

[@merokodk]

I felt the same way my whole life, found out I have ADHD and that’s what did it, so found an app where you put in your individual cleaning tasks and areas and it makes it into a spinning wheel, so I spin it and get a random task and I just have to focus on that one instead of everything and it’s helped so much!!

[@steffney]

Your room looks great! And I totally get that with the loss of motivation to clean but once I cleaned and decluttered I feel like such a weight has been lifted off my shoulders 😍

[@aniserl]

understand totally how you feel💜💜 also would love a product empties vid!!

[@imanfaisal_]

honestly being in a messy space can make me go CRAZYY, but seeing it all cleaned in the end makes me feel sooo theraputic and overall proud of myself. So don't feel alone it's completely normal (i think aha :D )) x love watching these type of vids acc making me feel all motivateddd!! ❤

[@brittanyngia]

tbh i think i have to pay someone to organize and declutter for me in the future bc i do NOT enjoy the process

[@imanfaisal_]

@@brittanyngia 😂😭

[@simplyboppingK]

Thanks for being real and mentioning how much you HATE cleaning becasue I feel like a lot of lifestyle influencers like to "romanticize" cleaning when it's not fun for everyone. Cleaning makes me overwhelmed and when my mental health is lacking, so is the cleanse of my apartment.

[@nayab915]

Definitely not alone. I've been walking around angry at everything, and thinking about cleaning up and the time it takes doesn't help. But just starting goes a long way.

[@brittanyngia]

angry at everything!!! but ur right i gotta not be lazy when i get home and just put my things away

[@Lea_Bechard]

You're probably never going to see my comment, but I see that you have a pretty large space to work with for the few last months. I think you made the same choice that I made when I was in school and had a huge room as an appartment, which is to put furniture mostly along the walls. I think the L shaped space around your door, that leads toward your bathroom and that wraps in front of your wardrobe makes it tricky. But I'm pretty sure you could "create" a L shaped corridor and define a new corner in your room near the center :) You got lots of options, but I wanted to suggest that so that you are less bored about your place. You shouldn't wait to move out for 10months ❤ I am going through the same frustration towards clutter and organizing. I feel you, I sometimes just enter my room and watch around me and sob a little. Good luck to you, with everything ❤

[@gotchaaddicted8962]

Girl same. You’re not alone😩😩😩

[@cclecombe]

Ohhh this has got me so motivated to have a proper clear out of my flat… If only I wasn’t back to work tomorrow! Definitely something I need to do soon though!

[@abbytheredwolf174]

Your not alone in being angry. For me and my depression I am extremely angry or irritated and I feel horrible after being in that state. It’s a work in progress but anyways right now I’m also In the stages of cleaning my depression room and it’s hard and overwhelming. But taking breaks as much as needed to push through is how to get it done.

[@emilyhammond7471]

Enjoyed the vlog and I love your your kitten!😻😻😻

[@tarotofmylife3331]

Omg the frustration is so relatable 😂 glad to know I’m not the only one

[@KatyaSerpas]

I know that this is not as easy for everyone, but the best way to not getting to the point where the mess is so big you just want to cry, is by trying to keep things in a specific place as soon as you’re done using them. If you let things start piling up, there’s no end. Maybe you can hire someone to help you keep things in place weekly or biweekly. Personally I love cleaning, it makes me feel sane and at peace, I have a place for everything and that helps me remember where things are, always put things back in place and fold/hang my clothes right away after I didn’t used it or just washed it. These actions help me keep order. I feel like having a nice clean space helps me have a clearer mind. Good luck. 🍀

[@Dre6a]

Excited to see more styling videos 🫶🏻

[@brittanyngia]

i’m excited for the hauls ahh

[@nuhreeyahk2033]

I’m happy you posted I was a little worried How you’re doing fine❤

[@effiesharif5383]

Agreed and honestly doing small things here and there for 5 minutes w/o the committment to all things/everything all at once helps me, that and not hating/guilt tripping myself. I've also recently started taking an SSRI though tbh and I realized I'm actually starting to feel a bit like myself again.

[@brittanyngia]

i’m so happy they’ve been working for you! do you feel like they only affect the negative moods or also mellow ur positive moods?

[@effiesharif5383]

@@brittanyngia ngl the first few weeks was just me wondering if things were gonna get any better, the first 1-2 weeks were moderately to considerably more rough. And this past week I felt like for the first time in a really really long time I got the pep back in my step/my little sparkle back. Full transparency though everyone has different opinions experiences, I had a bad experience with Zoloft but Lexapro has been that GORL for me. I definitely was super against it for the past 1.5 years trynna raw dog my way through things, & I regret not just being more open to my options. Meds could’ve helped regulate my anxiety/depression and adhd significantly sooner.

[@effiesharif5383]

@@brittanyngia Also no to mellowing my happy moods, I have PMDD so my moods are kind of everywhere for 2-3 weeks/month. And I realized I’m much happier not feeling so emotionally volatile/disregulated. Ideally, it’s not forever, but even if it is I think I’m more at peace with that now in comparison to even a month or a year ago.

[@stefslyfe]

Not to minimize your feelings, but take those stressors and add a spouse and all of their issues, and kids, and a job that you HATE and you get adulthood. Most of us aren’t fortunate enough to not have bills and live with our parents so we go through life in this sort of state of being unfulfilled and under appreciated, but as is life, we get through it. Best wishes to you though and hope you feel better❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@brittanyngia]

i don’t live w my parents and i do pay all my bills. that’s hardly the reason for my stress tho! i can’t imagine adding kids to the mix

[@stefslyfe]

@@brittanyngia I’m sorry, I wasn’t suggesting that you do live with your parents, I was only talking about people who are in that situation. And I know that life kinda sucks sometimes. I do think that you KZbinrs who are able to live off of it are more fortunate than those of us who have to work sucky jobs though 😃. Hopefully things will get better for you ✌🏽😃✌🏽

[@kaylakatelyn]

Yess product emptiesssss

[@lindabonomi7274]

New subscriber...thank you so much for this video...hopefully you're feeling better about this amazing accomplishment.

[@JasDvsn219]

If you truly hate cleaning and it gives you great amount of stress, consider looking to a minimalism lifestyle. It will help to approve your life in so many ways.. physically, mentally, financial. You will feel so much more lightweight and free and feel less stress and overwhelmed. The more a person owns, the more those possessions own that person❤

[@alisonspence4284]

It took me years to even let my best friend (I’ve know her for 8 years!) help me clean because I get so frustrated so fast because it’s just so much everywhere and I feel like I have nowhere to go. It’s so mentally taxing to move things from how convenient they are but so mentally draining to let it continue how it is

[@gracewinpigler7875]

keep the 2nd brown leather jacket!❣️

You have add! Like me. Everybody else is great it seems but they struggle just the same. Take a little a time . Day by day . Make a place for yourself for all things have a home 🏠. Keeping up daily makes it better .

[@svenskaela1234561]

I recently quit my job because the hours I was working destroyed me mentally I was working 12h shifts 7 days a week while having a dog, cleaning my apartment and making food for me and my grown ah brother. I had enough and now after a week I just started cleaning and it has been hell I neglected everything. I think the worst part is my fridge there is rotten food that god knows how long it has been there but I just didn’t have the time or energy to clean and it has gotten so bad.

[@choiyoorin4916]

Great video as always! Glad to see u back 😊 Ps love the second brown jacket the most

[@kaylar2024]

So I see how much I can get rid of and if I end up getting rid of alot at the end I reward myself like with a coffee or something.... Also if your feeling low I usually grab some friends and go ride roller coasters or do something fun to take my mind off different things.. Also don't worry know that it's always a good thing to take a detox from social media makes you refocus on things and just good for your mental health tbh... Anyways your vids are always awesome & your awesome! Hope you have a great day! :) ~God Bless

[@newsyringe2834]

If you feel overwhelmed while cleaning, it might be a sign you own too much! The most effective way to consistently keep a space clean and organized is to declutter your items to fit your space. Going through your least used items in the back of closets or bottom drawers can be a good way to start seeing what you don't really need.
