I always feel alittle uneasy posting for other people I don't know that well because I never really feel that I can help but I will give it a shot. I am kind of you though...

My room is a disaster, my work stuff is a disaster and I usualy only clean to advoid a conflict. I have just felt like everything in my life has been one mess or another to clean up after. I started counseling back in December. It, to tell you ther truth, has made a big difference. It didn't come easy and isn't until recently when I look bad through my journal that I notice I have made progress. People don't realize that stupid or significant things that happened to them as a child have shaped who they are and how they cope today.

I would recommend seeing a counselor whether people view themselves as having problems or not. I hope you are not like me where you didn't realize things that happened because they were too traumatic but I really feel for you. I think being disorganized should be a disability... LOL Let me tell you I would be first on the list. You will notice that you should start feeling better through therapy because you are not holding anything and the counselor might bring things to light to help you.

Congratulations on your willingness to participate. Two weeks DOES seem like an eternity (sp?)! I called several places and spoke to many people before I found a coounselor who I liked. Don't settle okay? Don't be afraid to ask about licensing and payment options (if you are in that position).

If you have any questions I will answer all that I can okay? You are a good person and hang in... Keep posting so people can support you!
