Depression Clean | Starting with Small Victories

[@susanfisher77]

Jeremiah 29: 11 - one of my kids was diagnosed with leukemia at age 9. That verse has seen us through some dark days. He has relapsed 3 times. But at 26 years old he is still giving it his all. God is good and He knows what is ahead of you. Keep going. one minute one hour one day at a time. Remember you are not alone. You'll be in my prayers.

[@kristyreed4923]

I’ve said it before and will say it again; you are an inspiration. Mental health illness is just as real as diabetes. You keep moving forward and keep doing your best. Getting over illness and trying to keep all your people fed, clean, educated… alive… You are brave. You are worth it. You are amazing. You are my inspiration. Please keep posting!

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

Thank you for this ❤️

[@mandy3486]

Wholeheartedly agree. :)

[@shannonbrice8012]

Sometimes when I am sick (and I have depression), I literally clean 2 minutes at a time. Do my floors get swept, no, does the laundry get put away, no, but I can at least see my sink and counters. Hang in there girl, like everything else you will get through this!!

[@freedominabudget]

I love the tip of 3 positive things that happened rather than what you’re thankful for. I tend to always be thankful for the same things too.

[@melindastclair]

Aww Shannon, gotta love you, and Steven. This looked like a surface clean - cause you've already done the hard deep clean. You're doing better than you think :) xx

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

Thanks Melinda ❤️

[@Joybug_51]

My all time favorite KZbin channel is Diane in Denmark. She began as a fly lady cleaning systems representative, but is honestly the most motivating individual. She shares so much about hygge and planning for regular self care. Try to start with on of her 31 baby steps videos where she shares how and why she began to adopt routines.

[@ingmariohman8242]

My favorite KZbinr is a slob comes clean. I love her humanity, intelligence and commitment. You also have those qualities. ❤️👍

[@kevinanddeb8829]

When I look at a room and don't know where to start, I just pick a corner. I start in that corner and work around the room. The other mantra in our house is trash, laundry, dishes. Those are three things that pile up quickly throughout house and are the easiest to address because we know exactly what to do with those.

[@nellieb4252]

“The world needs you…” beautiful words 💕💞

[@freedominabudget]

I watched this while I did a living room, kitchen and dining room rescue, and did the dishes! It was the motivation I needed to get off the couch!

[@colleenmadden1306]

When I'm overwhelmed.. I try to look at "what I've done" NOT "WHAT NEEDS DONE!Praise God I have a kind,understanding and supportive husband who tells me I'm great no matter what.

[@paulacostello6912]

Hi, I know depression and I know house overwhelm and I just wanted to say congratulations on just getting out of bed again let alone getting everything accomplished that you did in this video. You go girl!!!

[@evied.4475]

Oh, and my favorite Bible verse is “Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the heathen. I will be exalted in the earth”. It just reminds me to stop listening to the voices in my head and just “be still”. All that worldly fretting is a waste of precious time. ❤️ You are so much younger than me (68) but you help me a lot!

[@sandysue202]

Awesome video. I know some of mine is depression with a lot of just plain old lazy. I'm a 71 year old widow with 6 (!) housecats and a cluttered 3 bedroom house...very cluttered!! You are an encouragement along with my decision to commence Swedish Death Cleaning. I am not sick but I would surely hate to leave this mess for my 2 daughters! So...throwing or donating a lot of my stuff! 3 positives...sink is cleaned out for the 3rd night in a row. Threw some old makeup away and my kitchen bar is almost cleaned off! Thank you...and my favorite from the Bible is all of Psalm 91. It's awesome!!

[@cjkaiser5392]

In one of your videos you asked if there were any you tubers that speak about depression and I remembered that the channel At Any Cost is one that is a good place to go. It is faith based and amazing!

[@booksandbreggs]

Bathing you in prayer, Sister. It's normal for me to be the same during winter days. I don't hate snow season, but it gets me down. I feel pain, headaches, tired, weepy...it's too much at times. Lean into God, He knows. I like Psalm 100 for when I'm stuck in the uck.

[@loriwilliams4846]

Philippians 4:4-9. 3 things that happened yesterday..I got out of bed, took a shower and washed sheets and all bedding. Fighting a kidney infection, so doing that was a struggle. I'm like you. When I'm sick, I sink low. Sending love your way and you did a great job!!!

[@michellejaggard9657]

Not a Bible verse but from one woman to another that suffers from depression. I am a RN who was afraid to admit I had depression because I didn't want to be put on depression medications in case it interferred with my job. At 62 I became disabled and my doctor also diagnosed me with depression and I was put on medication. I couldn't believe the difference. Things that helped me were little things. Taking a shower, getting cleaned up. Putting on clothes I really liked (for some reason in depression we tend to put on things that we cont care for or non colored colored clothing which tend to make us feel blah) put on make up (by the way your make is beautiful) and those 3 things alone will lift us up because we feel better and it makes us feel we are at our best. Look at yourself and tell yourself and see how beautiful you are. Remind yourself how talented, smart and wonderful you are. in your case a great teacher to your children, a great mother and good wife, you have raised a wonderful family, you have a strong faith in God. When you think of more write them down and read over them several times a day for conformation. Always tell yourself you are doing the best you can at this moment. I am very impressed with you myself. You seem warm, loving and caring of your family and friends, you are a beautiful and intelignent that gives to many people. Hang in there, it will get easier. 'Best wishes to all, MiChelle in Amaillol

[@outofthemouths]

What a gift God has given you to share so authentically. This is the first video I have watched, and was immediately intrigued. I am also a Christian homeschool Mom with a KZbin channel. God has been so good, to use KZbin to bless me with leading me to other Christ followers that are authentic! #loveGodloveothers 😊💞

[@mondfalkin3781]

I have ADHD meaning a lack of Dopamine produced normally in the brain. These are needed for motivation, focus, short term memory or feeling confident and satisfied. I suffered years from depression and lack of energy. The trick that helps me is to produce Dopamine by accomplishing small tasks, step my step in the morning. To get up immediately,( say to myself yes!!! well done!), then to make just 7min of fitness (you are super, high five in the mirror), then make a coffee, then make my bed, then make my hair... and so on. And check the things on a list, because making a check produces Dopamine as well. With the sense of accomplishment and constantly talking nice to myself I built up momentum which enables me to do larger tasks later. Maybe it helps you too? Wish you all the best, and thank you for your motivating channel 🤗

[@aranysarkany9481]

Good things(not easy to find/admit through the "eyes" of depression):1:yday I had a hard parents-teacher meeting because of my younger son's behavior in e.school. at the end-when they understood my side-I got two reassuring hugs from parents. 2: I had a huge talk on the phone with one of my loved ones 3: I fell asleep feeling my older son stroking my back caringly....:)..... I love how You are honest with us. It gives so much! Hope, patience for myself. And good laughs when I see familiar piles and mess! And it's a strong example for me as you manage life every day. It's good to know I'm not alone! Thank You 🤗

[@curban616]

Just as encouragement, several years ago I got on a treadmill and walked 1/2 hour every day. Every couple of weeks I would speed it up a little. After 9 months I had lost 48 lbs and was looking pretty good for my sons wedding. I have put a lot back on (I also suffer from depression and food is my comfort, NOT GOOD) but I still try to move everyday. I love you and your heart.

[@beverlyschroeder5573]

1. Found a mailbox and stake (took 4 stores) 2. Good classes at work. 3. Talked to a good friend after work.

[@sherpoms]

I just started watching your channel and as you were talking I got so emotional. I've been struggling for a while now. I admire your total transparency . Depression is hard. Being transparent is harder. Im a wreck, but I may do something of a documentary of my struggles too. People would be shocked, they think I have it all together. But, sadly ITS ALL HIDDEN BEHIND MY SMILE. HUGS to you my new friend❤️❤️❤️

[@rachbeth86]

when God makes a divine intervention through youtube and recommends me just what i needed to see and hear this morning, after waking up to get 4 kids up and ready for school before i tackle the day and the house that has gotten away from me over the weekend while i worked. trying to remind myself to stay joyful that i have my family and our health and not let the little things like clutter get to me and just tackle it and get it done. much love to anyone reading this who is feeling allot of the same. so thankful to have found this 🥰

Thank you. I stay mainly locked in my room. But everything is so dirty. I have a disability that cause me to live with extreme pain 24/7 and the less I move the better but there no one but me to clean. I have a 21 year old special needs child who trys to do a few things but most is on me. You pop up on my feed and so like what you say. I do love when I watch my grandson he keeps me going all day.

When I’m cleaning, I watch Becky Moss. She has 3 little kids and still cleans up house. My youngest is 9 and my other 3 are teenagers. It helps me push through. Watching you today is helping me out. My place is the same right now. I have people coming tomorrow to do a walk through. So trying to push through.

Three things to be thankful is a great practice! Give yourself grace and try to think about and treat yourself the same you would a friend who struggle 💫 That’ssomething that help me be kinder to myself. I love it when you find cleaning money 💵 🤑 hmm three thing I’m thankful for: my family, my animals and twinklelights 😃

[@storminight]

I get depressed too, I don’t know how much you get on the computer, but I made a daily reoccurring calendar reminder “what I’m thankful for” I’d add something every day I could. On “rest” days I’d read the list from prior days, and it always makes me feel a little better. ((Huggs))

[@bonitaquandt4862]

Thank you. Your willingness to be vulnerable by filming what depression does to a home is so admirable. My mother lived in depression, and yes, when a depressed person is responsible for homemaking, the result reveals the disorder of the person. I have been subscribed to your channel long enough to smile when you tidied your laundry. I remember when you were better and decorated that laundry wall with the really cute stripes! All of us are on a journey. Some of us have big ups and downs. You help those of us who cannot stay on a steady course. Today may not be a good day, but when we have one - look out world!

[@mandy3486]

Thank you for making us, the other moms with mental illnesses, feel less alone!!

[@katia_g213]

I don't have kids, but all my health and mental health problems are an everyday thing 😩 To top it off, I do have bad luck. Getting bad reactions to food and allergies sets me back. One night of puking can set me back for up to a week. I just got off a new anti depressant for January that decided to do the opposite. I scratched my cornea tonight while I had just started trying to study and get notes in order for tomorrow night. Seems like I can't do anything. Definitely getting a new therapist this week, though. Hoping my doctor can see me tomorrow ❤️❤️ Holding onto hope and that someone up there is watching out for us is what keeps me going! 🙏😎 You got this!

[@melaniefunk693]

I can relate.. its so disheartening to look around you and see what looks like backsliding, but is just life. . Not a verse, but my favorite song from church "I come to the garden alone". Three things from yesterday - I chose kindness instead of frustration. I got out into the sunshine. I bought healthy snacks (fruit). And kudo's on recognizing when to give yourself a break. We all need to do that more.

[@emleigh1793]

Channel recommendations: Beatrice Caruso and A Hoarder’s Heart. Both are super inspiring. Also, my kids and I watched your video on my phone last night while folding the laundry. When you mentioned watching KZbin while folding laundry my kids were super shocked. “How did she know?” 🤣

I have learned so much from watching cleaning videos 💗 Hugs 🤗 you got this and One Day a Time 👍

[@kbailey8957]

Girl, yes. I hear you, I feel you, & I completely understand what you're talking about & going through. Life with depression is such a struggle, & I love how real & genuine you are. I loved this 'Small Victories' video. I tend to make ambitious to do lists & then getting overwhelmed & either shutting down or working on it & beating myself up for not getting enough done. My counselor had me start taking the 5 most important (& realistic) tasks from my mega list & only work on those 5. If I get them done & still have energy, I can add 2 more at a time. But I'm only allowed to look at my mega list when I'm selecting the 1st 5 or adding 2. I love your list of Bible verses & 3 positive things. I may start doing that for myself. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm in a similar boat with a difficult pregnancy and getting too overwhelmed by the house to film anything. My current favorite verse is Isaiah 43:19, "Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." I normally comment as prettybyrdie but I'm on this old account today for some reason.

[@kikik5266]

I've been digging myself out of a decline after getting exposed to gluten and being sick feonit. Then sick kiddo etc. Man the things people feel free to day to another person when they are going through it sometimes amazes me. I've found it hard to be kind to myself ever since. Just put calming sleep in my defuser now and I'm hoping to enjoy a quiet evening after cleaning up some places that were haunting my spirit each and every second of the day, every day.

[@silverflame_firebug]

I feel you so much on this. The worse you feel, the worse the house gets. The worse the house gets, the worse you feel. I've battled depression and my home for years, and it's exhausting. One of the best things that I learned is that you don't need motivation to start. You need to start to get motivation. Dawn from The Minimal Mom has been a tremendous inspiration for me over the last year. And you, dear friend, remind me that it's okay to not be okay all the time. Setbacks happen. I really, truly appreciate your reminders to say something kind to myself. We often forget to treat ourselves as well as we treat others...

[@DipityS]

Thank you for sharing yourself when you're not at your most tiptop - for letting us all know we aren't alone - that other people get sad and tired and leave the path for awhile just like I do. I think you're handling it so well, because if I know one thing, it's that beating yourself up for not getting things done which you feel you ought to - is a surefire way to ensure it never ever gets done! Gentle and kind and as loving as you can possibly be while in the down time is the only way to go - taking those wins however small - for all they're worth. Yesterday - I did my exercise which I've been doing that since also reading James Clear! OMG! You and I are getting advice from the same fellow! I'm thrilled by that! I read his 'Atomic Habits' a month ago and since then I keep asking - am I the type of person who gets on their treadmill and then gets out their exercise mat? And, yes, apparently I am that type of person 😊

My boyfriend doesn't help me with any cleaning and taking clothing to local laundromat. I do garbage , recycling laundry and grocery shopping by myself . And found out there is a flat spot forming on my left ball , left hip . Prevents me from standing and cleaning as much I need to get done . My depression began when everything was shut down and now I don't have the energy to get everything done . I get a few things done and within a few days it starts all over again . So I'm happy you have help you work through your life. Keep going !

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

I’m so sorry you don’t have the support from your boyfriend. That definitely compounds the stress.

[@alexandrabenoit9364]

Thanks for sharing these tips, I love how you included other things you do besides literal cleaning tasks that help you to begin feeling better. As far as the cleaning goes, I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of the Flylady cleaning method, but as someone with a history of anxiety and depression and who just went through a bout of postpartum depression and anxiety, this system has been revolutionary. It adds these little baby steps on to your routine slowly that help to improve your routines… and each little baby step is something that is easy but gives a good sense of accomplishment that help with motivation and I find it boosts my mood. There’s several KZbinrs who do flylady content which helped me get started and there’s also a book by the person who created it. She came up with this system after battling depression herself.

[@TwinFlameTreasures]

Omg yes! FearfullyCreated is one of my faves! Good job getting up and doing the things!

[@findingaway5512]

I watch a lot of the big channels. Some people I really love is The Relapsed Minimalist. She is going back through her house and decluttering again. Her name is Reynelle. It's all Messy is a great channel. She is down to earth and funny. At home with Jill is great. She is a bit scattered like me and kicks butt on whole house declutter and shows real life mess. Her personality is great too. Lydia Senn is a great channel That is very encouraging and also talks about a lot of financial and budget stuff. Marriage and Motherhood is a larger channel but I really love her she does a lot of different videos from like grocery hauls to cleaning up her house to financial things and she also adds another channel dedicated to financial stuff. How to Get Your s*** Together is a great channel. It's a larger one. She does a whole bunch of really well edited beautiful videos She's also funny and fun and she breaks stuff down into specifics. Has a lot of videos on a lot of different organizing topics. There's a bunch I watch. It's typically whoever ends up in my feed or what KZbin suggests. Or how I'm feeling that day. Currently it tends to be a lot of the home and organizing stuff. Or things related to groceries or budget food.

1. I shaped my brows and did a face mask. 2. I straightened my food pantry and did dishes. 3. I had loose knobs on my pantry so I added washers and then did the same for my upstairs closet doors. Today I pushed myself out to use up some pantry items, Then I shopped for stretchy jean so I have something other than pjs and I did grocery shopping. I did dishes and washed two loads of laundry. I don’t have littles so I can cram a little in a few hours. I had lots of hours where I didn’t get a thing done but try to get my body to do something, any darn thing. Thanks for being real, Shannon.

Yesterday was a wonderful day - the positives were: 1. in our frozen land of snow and ice it was a balmy 9 degrees Celsius, which for us is like spring time! 2. Got to go to church without a winter coat on! 3. (This is going to sound weird) We have cattle and I needed to go out and get some numbers on some of them, well let me tell you - there is nothing more relaxing than standing in the middle of a bunch of cows in the sunshine. Quietly chewing their cud, they're very curious and always come and check you out, but you can't be loud or fast, or they'll run away, so you just have to be quiet and slow around them, I swear its the most relaxing thing, and with the sun on your face, it is the best! I hung out there for like 2 hours! Thanks so much for the great video and hope you're having a good day today, and maybe get a minute to enjoy the sun on your face too! 🌞😊

Thank you for the reminder to be gentle with ourselves.

On hard days I write an achievements list rather than a to do list. everything I manage from taking my supplements, to washing dishes, to paying a bill or vacuuming goes on it. Regardless of how small. The list adds up and you realise that that you do a lot. You have got this Shannon. Remember you had major surgery last year. Not to mention we are living in very strange times at the moment. Sending all the positivity your way xx

Thankyou so much for this video, it has really helped me, I’m now creating a list of ‘small victories’ to cross off, it’s a great idea. I really appreciate your openness and honesty about depression, it helps me feel less alone, thankyou so much. Xx

I like the Bible verse about love....love is patient, love is kind. I try to remember it when I'm not loving myself. three good things that happened yesterday were that I got to go out to dinner with my friends, I got something off my chest, and I got to come home to my great husband! you are such a positive influence. thank you. the world needs you.
