Has anyone else started spring cleaning of any kind?
I have been sleeping about 15 hours each day this week and it is very much getting to me. I don’t really know what it’s about.
My husband thinks it’s becaude our bed was in the main area of our rec room from renovations that I grew too tired to finish. While I was sleeping yesterday he put our room back together and I decided to try and pitch in with spring cleaning and things.
So far I’ve started washing doors and trim and touching up paint where the kids drew on the walls.
I’m working on declutteting the kids items and our mountains of clothing.
It’s taking a long time and I’m very slow. I used to speed through spring cleaning and love doing it. I like seeing things clean and bright though so I will keep going. Tomorrow I’m hoping to clean out linen closet and toiletries. And our kitchen.
What is everyone else starting with?
Also I love the smell of fabric softener on curtains with the windows open.
My parents have a habit for cleaning all the house before Christmas and Easter. And sometimes little cleaning here and there. It always been like this. My parents motivates me through their example
Yes that was me before. Every November I would deep clean the house and car. I would restain my furniture and repaint my walls. Handmade all my decorations.
I used to become manic in the holiday seasons (I think most bipolars do) and not sleep for weeks just redoing little things, renovating rooms and baking treats. I always had holiday meals at my house also as I’m the oldest and homemaker type in my family. After it was over I would be in horrible shape but part of me misses that side of me.
Now that my illness has changed I don’t find enjoyment or motivation in anything. Maybe motivation from others would help like when my husband changed our room back but I cannot self motivate. Just sleep. It’s kind of pathetic.
