Thank you for sharing your experience. I am not very different in my love of cleanliness and I can even just forget about it if I work a lot, for example. But I also noticed a similar feeling that when I put everything in order in my apartment, it becomes a little easier on my soul. That is, I have the feeling that I am removing all the bad things from my life. It really helps in part to deal with stress and relax. But I understand that this is not normal and I need to be able to cope with this feeling on my own without resorting to such methods. But so far it only works beneficially, so let it stay that way.

Congratulations on the friendly article, I loved it. We are your fans. We love your topics, they bring a lot of variety of thoughts and the conclusions after reading them are all positive. Taking care of the home is taking care of the soul. We have to focus on the interior and climb the closest thing. Soul, home, family, friends, aesthetics and so on. We cannot do much about the problems that exist on the outside. A hug to all!

My husband is definitely a rage cleaner, I read the first part of the article to him and it was so, so recognizable. He also has ADHD, and we also thought it was kinda useful. Until he hit a burn out recently. His therapist actually forbad him to clean for a while and slow down. So a very timely article for us! Thanks.

In reply to Lena. I hear where you're coming from! There are definitely pluses and minuses to fixer uppers. I love that there's opportunity to make the space your own, but living in a space you're not a fan of in the interim can take its toll. I'm so glad you were able to renovate and love living in your home now!!

I 100% agree that our homes can affect our mental health. We purchased a fixer upper and the poor lighting, gross cabinets, staring at holes in drywall and toilet pipes was taking a toll on me. Luckily my husband understood and was happy to let me renovate our main living areas. We just finished up and I must say, every single time I walk into our home now, I feel so much better. It’s crazy how much our environment can affect our mental health!
