[@sentienttapioca5409]

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...

[@limner123]

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.

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!!

[@themomwiththethroattattoo4525]

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! ♥️♥️♥️

[@clairvaux8459]

[@stevedinosaur]

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!

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!! 💖

[@garrettunhinged]

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.

[@andrea.dandelion]

@@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!!!

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.

[@garrettunhinged]

Oh yeah we are all such little weirdos. feels good to share.

[@kimismith18]

@@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! 🥰

[@kimismith18]

@@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

[@missmollymedia]

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 ✨

[@_Chronically_Dead]

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.

[@forcefedsoup]

i have been putting off 4 assignments due in the next two days, cleaning my depression room, fixing the sheets on my bed, and doing my laundry. you have inspired me to do at least ONE of those today thank u

[@llcourt]

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

[@cherrycola8217]

Damn it's really comforting seeing someone I admire have the same struggles as me. I always feel so embarrassed when everyone around me can organise things. This is how my bedroom looks right now and it's so hard to know where to start. Thank you for this Garrett.

[@lunaw7962]

I just found your channel and already I know I’m gonna like it here. Sending love from my depression nest 😬

[@Jessica.Gentry.Author]

I am very grateful for you posting this, Garrett. I also have ADHD and no executive function, and it's gotten to the point where I was considering dropping out of my senior year of college because my brain is awful right now. After watching this I decided to crack open the laptop and just see what all I could get done. I got about 70% caught up before my focus called it quits. Finishing it up tomorrow. Thank you for this. 😊 it makes all of us ADHD people not feel as bad about ourselves.

[@caitlin3133]

I cant thank you enough for sharing this on your channel. I struggle similarly and I thought for a long time that there was something wrong with me because I couldn’t handle problems like other people. Thank you Garrett

[@garrettunhinged]

This is such a sweet comment. Truly, truly. My pleasure.

[@sleepymads6]

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 💗

[@steffie647]

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 ♡

[@meowmew444]

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 KZbin!

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!

[@delzerpants]

This video is going to help a lot of people. The charm. The vulnerability. The treasures discovered. It’s like archaeology for your life 😂. My fiancé has adhd pretty bad and he needs help with executive functions too, you’re not alone! It’s always hard for him to do stuff but that’s what loved ones are for. Supporting you via a comment online dude. 🎉

[@bunmiles7244]

this is so incredibly helpful , i’m so glad you share things like this with us because it’s something not a lot of people would usually share, but it’s so real especially for people with adhd and mental health issues. having a video like this to come back to and get work done with you is so great and i’m really happy you can get things done with us as well ! thank u garrett !!

[@sczech4046]

You are so awesome! I love your authenticity, creativity and heart. You give hope and acceptance to others. Thank you.

[@confused_agenda]

Garrett, I feel like a lot of people have a room like this in their home, at the very least I know I do, so don’t feel alone. I’m super proud of you for getting it cleaned up! As soon as my brother moved out about a year ago, my parents turned his room into a hoarder’s paradise. I know my room when I was younger was absolutely terrible, but it’s gotten way better over the years. Sometimes you just have to lock yourself in the room to get it clean and I’m glad I’m not the only one who does this. Again, great job at getting it cleaned up! This video definitely motivated me to do the same. It’s time for some spring cleaning, but in the fall/winter so, whatever that is called I am doing it! Thank you for sharing this with us! All the love and good vibes to ya man!

[@Whatishappening32]

As someone who also struggles with this stuff, I'm so proud of you ❤️ Being an "out of sight out of mind" person can be rough sometimes 🥲

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

my depression makes my place get so messy and so it is so understandable. you have seriously helped me so much through your vulnerability and honesty and it means the world and you are bringing awareness to such a normal thing for a lot of people.

[@SequinSuperNOVA]

:/ you handle that ADHD procrastination so well here. My adderal ain't even enough sometimes help me be productive or even just enjoy things i love or new hyperfixations (easily discouraged) like paying bills even seems too stressful sometimes and i'm so burnt out of feeling overwhelmed yet underwhelmed at the same time. You made mundane chores seem fun for once! When the mess is big, it's always way too easy to just ignore the problem. Out of sight out of mind basically. So this brought me a well needed smile!

Thank you for sharing this. It makes me feel just a bit better about my disaster of an apartment. It's been increasingly worse for the past like year and a half/two years and i just.. i can't do anything about it anymore because I don't even know where to start.

[@hannahnuckols5207]

I have the same issue...really, just start in a corner of one room and make piles of trash, keep or donate. Then throw away trash, bag up donate and then put away what's left. Start with small sections if need be and don't overwhelm yourself. Some progress is better than none, you got this!!!

[@sandpitturtle3577]

@@hannahnuckols5207 thank you for the tips. I guess the plus side is that my apartment is just one room but it's still tough haha. I might have some friends I can trick into coming over just to hang out whilst I work so I feel like they're holding me accountable or something. It will certainly be a slow process but somehow I'll get there

Sometimes its just hard to stick with one thing, so I hope you feel extra proud!!!!! Because I know how good it feels to actually get something done you've been putting off for ages. Congrats on the clean room!!!!

[@emilee823]

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!

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

Omg as a fellow adhd/hoarder, you are doing great! It is just one room! I have learned that I can't have those laundry baskets/bins because I will just fill them up. DanaKWhite's videos have really helped me. She is a cute southern lady with a brain like ours and has some good systems. I need to clean out my closet next 😫😫
