Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?
@Dimity I'm shocked at how pushy your transport service was! Ringing your specialist! And wanting to take you somewhere else! 😯
I'm sorry that that turned out to be such a negative experience 😥
I'm going in to work today (yes, I know! Possibly foolish) as we lost power yesterday and I'm behind in my paperwork. Just for 2 or 3 hours. Then grocery shopping and library. I seemed to cope with the extra day last week, so I'm hoping I will cope again.
I am thinking of you in your bad place and sending wishes you feel a bit stronger very soon 🤞

3 days 2 weeks running is a lot @NatureLover . Hoping your library trip is rewarding, also groceries.
I had a tradie this morning who did an excellent job that came in substantially under quote as he was so quick.
I'll try to get through some chores and tidying, and hope it makes some sort of difference.

Hi @Dimity , am pleased to hear you had good news with the tradie this morning. 🙂
I felt fine at work this morning, did 2 hours but now am very tired and lying down. Still need to get bins in but it can wait.
Good luck with your chores and tidying.

@NatureLover I'm not getting anywhere. Are you? The clutter and undone chores (I haven't been able to do housework on medical advice) are upsetting.

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?
I guess I AM doing some chores eg laundry and dishes.
But I'd like to tidy and freshen the place and it's not happening and I don't know why not. I guess I'm not in the right headspace.
I hope you're doing OK but it sounds as though you're prioritising your voluntary work at present
