"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Thank you for sharing that with us, Sophia. You do know that we love you no matter how much junk you've got.

Please don't hurt yourself or run away. Remember to breathe. It is hard to believe right now, but you will get through this crisis and still have a home for you and your kitty. It will work out.

You've already set things in motion and you've been working with your therapist.

Imagine living in a safe, lovely, spare space with your kitty. You can get there.

I do think you'd do well to have a roommate. It's definitely something to consider going forward.

The good news is - it's surprisingly easy to throw things away once you get going. You've got a dumpster coming. Fill it up. Let that stuff go. You will be surprised at how freeing it is.

We love you. We're don't care about your housekeeping or lack thereof, except that it's stressing you out now. Keep talking to us and updating us.

That's hard, Sophia, but you're taking steps to improve things. And I'm sure you'll be able to make a safe home for you and your cat.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Thank you for sharing with us, Sophia. And it takes so much courage to admit this and move forward with a plan to fix it. Anything any of us can do to help you, we're here.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

{{{Sophia}}} I'm so proud of you for posting all that, and honored that you trust us with it.

Sophia, all the love and strength in the world to you. You can get through this.

On the very pragmatic front, it may give you some peace of mind to talk to a lawyer that specialized in tenant rights. They may be able to help you put tighter an agreement with your landlord given the fact that you are in therapy and having professional help come in for the cleaning.

Making a plan and being in therapy sounds like you are on the right path. Hiring professionals is excellent.

Yes, and trust me on this, the professionals have seen worse.

If there is anything we all can do virtually, please let us know.

And This!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Sophia, it sounds to me like getting into therapy and hiring professionals to remove clutter are both excellent healthy steps that should also be demonstrations of good faith effort to your landlord. Much love to you.
