My apartment has been a biohazered for 8 years. I cleaned it pretty well once in 2020, but never really finished.

At its worst I had trash mounds waist high in spots. I remember crying after the clean in 2020 when the first piece of trash just fell to the floor.

Every few months I would want to get serious about taking care of the problem, but just couldn't bring myself to tackle it.

It really fucked with my overall mental health. I think it was due to the stress of working full time and being poor at the start. I just would dissociate for any free time I had at home. For fucking years.

I also had some accomplishments as well. I graduated college, and got a better paying career. I've been in therapy for 11 years and on meds for four.

About a year ago I got as serious as I could about cleaning. Two roll off dumpsters 11 months apart and hundreds of trash bags later and ive got the damn thing manageable. The wood floors and walls have been amazing. No mold, and former small spills are coming right up with a bit of scrubbing.

I still have some deep cleaning to do, but I am making it part of my weekly ritual. After a few more weeks/months of keeping to this routine, I will treat myself to all new furniture. (Not like a manic spending spree. I've been saving up for this.)

This is a big step in the right direction l, and I started crying this evening at how far ive come.

Thanks for reading.

You think I would have learned to keep my mouth shut at this point, but here we are again. I need to remember that bipolar is a cycle, and each cycle us a new opportunity to learn more about myself, and how to deal with the symptoms.

Classic LPD

The president won't see your social media post. But there is a probable chance that a comrade with a similar disability or appearance will.

We can do better than making fat or poo jokes. Also sex work is no reason to attack anyone.

Just saying.

This would mean that those cities/Airports would no longer be able to host international flights.

I see you boulder 👀

Is it not time to use all of this organization to have some real disruptive protests? Or are we going to table our way into compliance?
