There was a jigsaw under all that shit?!
HumptyDumptyWasPushed
That probably feels better
QAFoundYourBug
Damn dude, share the ambition! My house is... still like the before picture... haha
Deermark
Why does this look like a neoclassical painting?
hattbillies3

ScienceTeachingRockEnthusiast
Props. Cleaning is hard

Where is the de-lousing pic?
GothKirby
As a fellow ocd-haver, I’m proud!!
Blarg5772
Thank youuuu! Overcoming compulsions is so hard.
GothKirby
It is, but look at you go! Totally smashed it dude. Be proud of yourself!

You can't possibly understand how happy this gif makes me

Jesus christ... I don't know how anyone can let a personal space get like that. Thanks for getting rid of my anxiety on that second picture
LetTheJimmiesRustle
That looks like my mind before and after adderal. Also my room before and after adderal.
LovelyMover
Which ones the “before”?
whatisthisproductivityyouspeakof
This is the kick in the ass I needed. Thank you.
gobnaitOLunacy
I like your rug, it really ties the room together.
Blarg5772
Thanks! It was my granddads
abuhsha
Minus points for that sloppy stack of papers on the side of that desk ?
Blarg5772
Sorry, I still need my school papers until exams are done.
abuhsha
I hope they go well for you! I just finished mine for the last time.

My front room went the opposite direction over the weekend. Thanks for the inspiration to clean up.
jay20003000
I just went through the same thing this weekend....depression anxiety and being too busy left me uncaring snd unmotivated...
jay20003000
It took a few weeks of this virus lockdown for me to finally build up the desire to take care of it and now my house isnt cluttered anymore
jay20003000
Kudos for having the strength to do what needs to be done let's both try to keep it up yes?
evildeadtwo
glad im not the only one with a mail pile
Sugarcrotch
idk how to get rid of it. everytime i do it reappears the next day.. it feels hopeless
evildeadtwo
I think I'm going to use mine as a fire starter
wurstkaesescenario
No one need a huge fire :D
Sugarcrotch
excellent ive been tired of where im living for awhile now
Rynestrm
Was the puzzle under all of that?
Blarg5772
Yes. My fiance is happy I unearthed it
seoris1
Nobody with OCD would be living in that first picture.
piewacket
Probably just confusing hoarding with OCD, not everyone understands the terminology.
Blarg5772
I have diagnosed OCD and have been in treatment for 6 years including being hospitalized. I know the terms, you don't
piewacket
Genuine question: isn't hoarding/ not tidying up a sign of depression? So you have OCD & depression? Sorry I didn't think of that.
Blarg5772
That's not what OCD is. It's a wide variety of symptoms, including holding, not just obsessive cleaning like the movies portray.
Ripper25992
Good on you!! Question: was the jigzaw under there the whole time?
Blarg5772
Yes it was
clevernametom
There's no way you have all the pieces still. I demand an update!
trigonman3
Looks like the box was there, but the assemblage hadn't started yet.
OhLookSquirrel
I can see some of the pieces between all the other things. Specifically the row of pieces sticking out on an angle. Gotta be missing pieces.

Nice rug. It really ties the room together.
Blarg5772
Thank you! It was my grandads!

Woestkonijn
No curtains? ? How? That's just a black hole in the evening. How do people like that?
Woestkonijn
Also, I adore your rug. I want one too.
Blarg5772
We bought the place and are getting blinds, but we need to save up after the down payment killed our savings
Woestkonijn
You don't have neighbors looking in? When I got this house I first had matrass covers as curtains, then ugly glass curtains and one day 1/
Woestkonijn
I was browsing the local Craigslist, someone offered free wooden blinds. Window covers make all the difference!
Blarg5772
Nope, we are hidden by trees

I think the OCD bit is the cleanup, not the mess
Blarg5772
Nope, it's the mess. OCD is more than just obsessive cleaning
whatissofunny
Yes thank you! I have OCD and people always misunderstand it as being a "neat freak" which I'm not.
Blarg5772
Not sure why I got down voted. OCD is a complex disorder. I have compulsive messiness/hording and no stereotypical cleaning OCD.
TyrannosaurusMex
So you won’t have OCD then. You have a compulsion to hoard and live in messes. Still an issue, and should be acknowledged. Just not the same
Blarg5772
I have diagnosed moderate to severe OCD and have seen specialists for it for like 6 years and have been institutionalized twice.
aylazea
Uh oh that's concerning for me because the current state of my living room is veeery similar to the first pic...
Blarg5772
There are other reasons for being messy than OCD, but if you're concerned it's a good idea to talk to your Primary Care doctor.
FatCatSmugglerr
It's a very frustrating disease to have because media incorrectly portrays it. Mine has nothing to do with cleaning
Blarg5772
Yeah mine involves hoarding and skin picking mostly, but not too many compulsions, just a lot of obessesions
FatCatSmugglerr
Mine's obsessive thoughts of things I've done/said till an anxiety attack - it can be minor to where the fuck is the ativan
FatCatSmugglerr
If someone's does it's things like getting out of bed at midnight to clean the toilet with a toothbrush otherwise it's the end of the world
forscience6686
The calendar says you're a liar
TheGoddamnDM
Woestkonijn
That calendar hasn't been touched in forever. Not every one lives by one.
GiddyKipper
Never assume.
forscience6686
It's not an assumption when there's photo evidence. But op corrected that
fraxinusoleaceae
Big words from somebody who thinks a person who struggles to keep a space orderly must absolutely succeed at keeping a calendar up to date.
forscience6686
Just laugh and move along
Sharklaserspewpew
Does that say august sept?
forscience6686
That's what I'm seeing

Okay...so why does the carpet have longer piles in the second picture....?
Blarg5772
Longer whats? It's the same carpet.... I keep looking at the pictures and I don't get what you mean
Blarg5772
But if you need confirmation the pictures were taken in the same night zoom in next to the lamp on the window ledge. I'm growing lettuce.

I had a huge wall calendar decal thingy that was such a pain to reset, it stayed on November until December of the following year
MaryGoRound12
I get it. My school calendar is still on January. Yet I have sticky notes around with all my due dates. Doesn’t make any sense but it works
CongratulationsYouAreBeingRescued
Feel this in my soul. Bought calendar and planner in March....of 2019...used a few times and forgotten forever. And it’s not the first time
forscience6686
Don't ruin my fun
wolf387465
yeah, that whole room, including calendar saying septemper in may, just shouts out OCD.... i still think you are lying ;)
Blarg5772
OCD is a complex disorder characterized by a wide variety of thoughts and behaviors and is not just obsessive cleaning like in movies
idontenglishsorry
you dont have to explain anything, man, let the haters hate, they see you cleaning, they hating
Blarg5772
I don't mind them hating on me, but it bothers me when people are so misinformed about a disorder that effects 1% of the population
monadi
I totally get this. I would probably do the same thing! I had a clock that died and it was stuck for months...just never got important...
ballisticsreport
It was still right twice a day
monadi
Enough for me to change the batteries. Anyway, yu did a great job. Now erase that calendar bull and draw some things on it!
DingoMatt
Clock in my bathroom still hasn't been set forward for DST. I just remember that the clock is an hour behind and I know what time it is.
forscience6686
Our clock died, set it to 4:20 and put it back on the wall.
Blarg5772
Every time I think about chucking the calendar now I just feel guilty. I feel like I should be a calendar person
JenHousek1237
I like calendars with something funny/interesting/motivating. Either rip off or monthly ones. You can get excited about seeing the new page.
gostoso666
My calendar still says Nov.
RocketKokket
I feel this. I had a calendar on my wall on February one year for two full years
Blarg5772
This makes me feel better! My fiance is one of those personal planner people, whereas I'm a "it's Tuesday, right?" person.
