Honestly you rock! I’m about to watch now and your motivation and cleaning, decluttering and way of compartmentalizing all this anxiety and depression always helps me put myself into my place to feel better and get to work in my house and to also clear my mind! I know how hard you work, and how it is!❤️🎄sending love and peace
@@MightyMama I’m honestly so glad I’ve come across your video. I have deliberating depression, also it’s my parents anniversary of their death and I really need to get the house done but just have no motivation but obviously I need to, to provide a nice family home. So I’m playing this along doing my house. I’m looking forwards to once it’s finally done!. Thank you once again 💗❤️
I love how real you are! Dont ever be embarrassed of sharing your messy lives some are messier then others! I am I was a hording show I had so much loss in my life from rape to losing my 18 yr old son to suicide and my brother being murdered I stopped living! Stopped caring and stoped cleaning I wanted to not be here anymore! Then one day I was sitting on a bench and a old lady came up to me and prayed for me I looked around didn't see anyone! I was going to go into the river to end my pain! God had other plans I felt this peace swoop over me and I felt better decided to go home and try I managed after 6 months to get my life back on track ! I cleaned decluttered moved toxic people out even family and lost over 80 lbs became healthy mentally physically and emotionally 🙏 you are an inspiration to others thank you 💕 keep going others need you! 🙏❤️ God bless you love from Canada ❤️ now work with homeless people and realized this was gods plan 🙏
I have a 6 year old son, a 4 year old daughter and a 10 week old son.. I’m literally bawling watching this video at 1AM. Looking around, it’s heartbreaking that my kids have to be raised with me struggling mentally. This video gives me hope. Thank you so much for letting us into your personal life.. this has helped me so much. Sending so many hugs! 🥺♥️
I am sitting in bed promising that I’m going to start tomorrow. When my house is out or order it takes such a toll on my mental health and I’ve been depression for a year now and I’m overwhelmed with the mess. I don’t know where to start. I just cry and then go to sleep. Hoping this video help me
Omg this is literally me. I have 3 kid under 4 and It’s so hard but coming on this video and seeing this just made me so determined that I can get things back in order.
You can do it! As a child of a parent who struggles, its okay! I struggle myself as a working college student. I know as long as I’m trying, thats the best thing you can do. Honestly, growing up in a messy home taught me how to clean…which is kinda funny. You’re kids are lucky to have a mother that loves them deeply. You are not alone!!
I’m 22 my daughter passed away almost 3 months ago at 9 months and today I finally cleaned my room I still have a ways to go but to end the day I watched this and I feel like I now have some more in me.
I'm sorry for your loss 💜 🫂 I've been struggling too as my mum passed away recently and it just gets overwhelming sometimes. But just know every little step you take, you're doing amazing, you can do this, just take it a day and a step at a time 💜🫂🫂 Bless you and your family
Just a piece of advice that took me a long time to jump on board with but truly does work. Your kids don’t need that many toys and research’s shows they play better and engage longer with toys when they have less decisions to make.
Part of your depression, certainly not all, but part, is that you have so many things (so much inventory) to manage. This is especially hard if you have ADHD because every little thing is distracting. I have ADHD also and the more I move towards minimalism the less depression I have. I lost my mom a few years ago and know how hard it is. It gets better.
I have to agree. Donate 90% of those toys… especially due to that is most of the mess. Teach him how to clean up as well instead of watching you clean up. If it’s to much for his room then it’s to much. I would like to thank you for the motivation video I am sure it will help so many struggling…
@@mrsbettytracy6669 this is me I’ve come to terms I have to declutter I have 3 kids and between them all they only need about 10 toys. It’s just starting the process that’s hard but I know I can do it
Goodness yes too many toys! And if the kids would just learn to put their toys away when they’re done with them, that would be a huge weight off her shoulders! I know it’s hard and takes a lot of work to get kids to cooperate with that though and sometimes you get caught in a loop of just chasing the problem rather than addressing the source of it. By the time she’s done cleaning up she’s probably way too exhausted to work with her kids on cleaning up after themselves, and next thing she knows there’s a new mess to clean up.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that suffers like this. I cry most days because of my house and it's gotten so bad idk where to start. I did clean most of my living room with some help but it's so hard to get the motivation. Thank you to every mom out here who understands and isn't judging like so many others I know
Honestly the thing that I'm admiring the most in your video is that you're cleaning in baggy comfy clothes. Sweat pants and a t-shirt. I see so many of these cleaning videos in cute workout clothes or jeans and a cute shirt. Hair done, full face of makeup. No. You are being so so authentic in this and I love it so much. I'm wearing almost exactly the same thing, so I don't feel the need to go "put myself together" before cleaning. This is amazing. This is the sort of video we need. THANK YOU!
Hey girl!! Omg! I could never get all dolled up to clean. I always shower after I clean anyway so its pointless and a waste of time and energy that I already do not have!🤣 Thank you so much for taking the time to clean with me! I hope you will stick around on this messy to minimal journey!♡
THIS. Sooooooo sick to death of white-silver-grey designer homes of bored SAHM calling their videos “realistic cleaning” and there’s two cups on the counter, half a bag of trash and like 3 pces of clothing on the couch 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 that’s not cleaning, it’s showing off your home and your $500 white tshirt and jeans while you’re husband slaves away in an office somewhere 💀💩 NOW THIS is an actual cleaning video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🧐👏🏻🧐
If you suffer from mental health problems and you have hard time keeping your house clean, my tip is to declutter. When you have less stuff, it is so much easier to organize and everything just finds back to it´s place after using it. I decluttered and became kind of minimalist after I couldn´t keep my house clean and organized due mental illnesses. Getting rid of the stuff I don´t really need or use was the best decision and these days my house is most of the time very clean!☺ Great video🥰👍
I came to UA-cam and literally searching “overwhelmed with my house” and up popped your video. From one anxiety and depression battling mama to another, THANK YOU for this video. I’m sitting here looking at my home and I just broke down into tears. Between crippling mental illness and battling chronic pain, I’ve lost my drive to clean. I so desperately want to get my home in order though and YOU are helping!!!
I hear you. I can say that if I have the energy - I clean and de clutter a small area and just look at that and feel better. I just take one area at a time. Then I praise myself for at least doing that area. It motivates me to tackle other areas but you are not alone. When they are able try ti make your kids clean up after themselves- a while nother animal - treat yourself to a small thing once you complete a small task. Sometimes it’s hard to even shower myself when I’m so low!!! You are not alone.
Your video really helped me out being Disabled after 12 spinal surgeries and seizures, very bad depression and anxiety, and including agoraphobia! I feel your struggle and send all my prays to you and your family!
I would be overwhelmed with that many toys as a child. I did routine purges/yard sales at different phases of my life. It was super rewarding 💜 I’m sure they would love to learn the value of letting go and basic business practices 💕💕💕
I randomly came across this video when I searched mental health. I am always so hard on myself because when I’m in an episode, I have no motivation to clean and my house looks like a mess all the time. This video gave me motivation and showed me I’m not alone. Thank you 😊
I’m 23 with a 2 year old and lost my mother last year in September. Mother’s Day just past and it’s been really hard keeping the house clean and just keeping myself in a decent mental space. Thank you for being honest about how you’re feeling bc this is the first time I’ve heard someone describe exactly how I’ve been feeling and it really makes me not feel so alone. Thank you thank you thank you!!! 💛
Im definitely can relate to you my house is a mess it's not dirty I just buy stuff and just leave it in the bag now I only use my bedroom and bathroom and kitchen and I keep my bathroom clean and my kitchen buy I neglect everything else im so damn depressed I no my ma would not want me to live like this it's so hard im struggling to get off my prescription pain pills because they don't help me I feel like giving up but I don't want to go to hell .
@@ceeceemoni3458 Die haben sich in ihrer Frechheit gegenseitig hochgeschaukelt. "Haaaaaa, da hockt einer und sch....... " "Bekommen sie blos nicht einen kalten Hintern," rief die Zweite, bis Dritte dann frech auf mich zukam. Auch als ich nacher an ihnen vorbeifuhr. "So haben sie ihren Aesch wieder eingepackt." "Wenn man einen abgeseilt hat, faehrt es sich gleich leichter auf dem Rad." Waere mir eine alleine begegnet, waere sie wohl ganz diskret vorbeigegangen ????
When I can't clean and the house is messy I feel very sad. But once I clean I feel better cleaning helps me every time I feel sad I clean. You are not alone I know what it feels like
Thank God for this video. The words fit me exactly. I used to watch "Hoarders' when I was "normal" My depression turned to a slow burn with my last employer. The backstabbing, the secret monitoring, the gaslighting. About 2 years ago I began neglecting the Amazon boxes. For some reason I COULDNT get them into the recycle bin, then I couldnt even get the boxes into the garage and so on. Then I found online grocery ordering. I worked from home, shopped from home, rarely left my house. Now, I can hardly move without stepping on something. I dont want to keep gabbing. Just love this video
THANK YOU for uploading!! I am a young mom who struggles with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety. It gets to be too much sometimes so it is SUCH a relief to see someone else like me ❤️
Не надо поддаваться эмоциям. Я сама эппелепсией страдаю. Но никогда не надо говорить я страдаю я больна. Разум и сила воля сильнее чем дипрессия и тревога. Не поддавайся.
It's been on my heart to tell you how much it means to me to really know I am not alone in the shackles and chains of depression and anxiety. I watch UA-cam on TV so I can't usually comment and honestly I'm not very social but the Lord's put it on my heart to reach out to you and let you know how amazing you are and what a blessing you are to us all. God bless you Mighty Mama, you are a dose of inspiration! 💜
I just want to thank you so much for being raw. I really needed to see the mess, your story & your motivation. Everyone has different things that snap them out of depression, what’s yours (I’ll understand if you don’t want to share). I am always fighting with my depression and anxiety. My way the past year has been watching inspirational videos, oddly satisfying videos and my final videos are the cleaning videos. Most of the time I don’t realize I’m depressed until I’m wanting to sleep all the time or I missed work because I can’t make myself get up. That’s when I call the doc. I just missed a little over a month of work. I am a CNA & I have to be there for the residents heart and body. It’s a very physically & mentally straining job, but I love people & I love taking care of people that can’t do it for their selfs any more. On top of the work being straining, if the company you work for is not their for you & do things to make it harder, it really takes a toll on you. Anyways, thank you for your video, it really hit the spot for me today 🙏❤️!
OMG I think you're my spirit animal... 😢 I'm in the mist of fighting through my depression and it definitely shows in my house and it's just making things worst. I don't even know where to start.
Just start something! Get up for 5 minutes, take up a trash bag and pick up some trashes throughout your house. It's enough for a great start! You got this!🥰
We've been slowly reducing our gift giving for several years. I feel the same way you do about it. We focus more on togetherness. We had 100% consumables in our stockings. We try our best to stick with gifting the most needed items to the children. My tree didn't go up until Monday. Great job bringing it all together.
The looks on your children's faces as they helped you decorate is priceless. Letting them help helps you with your burden and they learn valuable lessons and skills from you. Good for you!
I always push myself to do what I think needs to be done but it never is what I really feel like doing so I always end up frustrated and disappointed with myself. Your tips on how to clean with anxiety and depression have helped me a lot, thank you! As for starting a minimalist journey, I don't have kids and am not from the US but the impression I have is that you guys always have so much stuff! I grew up in a very frugal home and as any kid, I always wanted a lot of toys but learned to use my imagination to play with the little I had.
Thank you for this, after two ectopic pregnancies back to back and PPD hitting along with PTSD, I’m struggling mentally and my house is reflecting it badly. I plan on cleaning a little each day after work, I’m finally getting counseling this week so hopefully that helps too! Thank you again ❤️
I hope all the best hope u get pregnant I'm going through cyst blood clot growing full year can't move clean anything so depressed had surgery then got sepsis covid bladder damaged had catheta and then had surgery again remove half ovary tube and blood clot again had miscarriage October then had last surgery December and couldn't move 1 month then had very heavy period so had to go to hospital stay in 2 day and got better then have pancreatic and liver damaged been told my genetic blood pancreatic is 4x times high in hospital 1 week and little rest now march 2023 and watching this video I want to clean my house with no sleep a d full on pain relief hate having pain relief so now feel better just vet it out there feel so much better sorry all
Yes, my goodness I’m so glad I have found your channel! I suffer so bad with depression anxiety panic, overwhelmed, ocd! I lost my mom on June 19th, this year and it’s caused all my symptoms to be so much worse!!!! I’m to the point I just don’t know what to do to get things in order and at peace in my home!
Oh Christa! My heart aches for you! I will be praying for you by name daily. I pray that you are flooded with relief and comfort and happiness again. But most importantly confidence and courage to live on with your Mom. It is rough I know but you can find a new normal in your life to live happy and at peace even if right now it seems like you will never get there again. Just remember how your Mom lived and how she expects you to live. You live on in this way with all the strength you have and you are honoring her life in the most respectful way. She would be proud to know you are moving on and getting through even without her. She does not want you suffering because of her passing. Can I ask do you have children? If so, I look to my children as that they look to me to live life and would be lost without me. This helps me to go on without a Mom and know that I add value to someone else life and it's important that I am healthy for my children and thriving to show them how to live. I show them that when I die they must go on the same way Mom went on all her life without her own Mom. I hope I am making sense and helping some. I will keep you in my prayers. Please ask God for your healing and strength. He wants to help you. All you have to do is ask. Also, go watch my Natural remedies video for anxiety and depression and see if that will help you. The key things are to stay healthy, thriving and active. The more we remain stagnant the more we are losing the battle with depression and anxiety. I believe in rest when you need it but if your life is falling apart then it's time to get up and get moving! No one is going to come rescue you. Only you can rescue you! Also, when you are very sad and aching from missing her so much just close your eyes and talk to your mom and ask her to comfort you. Sit in the moment for a while and really communicate with her in your mind. She will come! You will feel her and you will suddenly feel comforted, warm and stop crying. It's amazing! The spirit works even after this life! Please take care of yourself! Your Mom would want you to. I am always here if you need to talk or message me on Instagram @mighty.mama. Stay Mighty & God bless! 💪🏻🙏🏻🤎🦋
@@MightyMama You truly had me in tears, I pray god that you will be a comforting person to all the broken hearts. God may use you in various ways and bless u and ur amazing family. Lots of love ❤️
I have depression and anxiety and it’s a struggle to kept everything up. This year I am going to declutter and simplify everything. Finish all the projects around the house. I’m glad I found your channel. I really need the motivation.
BTW, depression is a BARKER! I had it for years and kicked it about 17 years ago and have not had an episode since thank God! So I know what depression does and how hard and heavy it can be. I can’t relate to the anxiety, but I’m certain that it does not make it easier and yet YOU GET IT DONE, GIRL!❤️ I’m so, so proud of you and the way you thrust your foot in the face of depression and anxiety with these videos!❤️
Your videos are so awesome & you will be blessed for showing your vulnerability in the service of others! As a single mom, I got in the habit of having "3" gifts for each child each Christmas- a mommy gift, a santa gift, and their stocking. It kept things affordable, manageable and brought joy to the season to not overspend or overextend ❤
My grandsons’ get 3 gifts from me. A want, a board game or card game and a “stocking” with body wash, chapstick, a pair or two of fun socks, and a favorite candy.
I lost my mother over the holidays too. I am so proud of you for fighting your anxiety and depression! You are mighty! Any mother would be so proud to have a daughter like you. Your children are blessed to have a mama like you. Thanks for the inspiration.
I’m a mama that used to keep my house in order…I’m older now and it’s gotten really bad. Your video is just what I needed, even though I no longer have young children. Thank you.
Wow my house looks the same, my mom passed August last year. I thought I was the only one against time.🕐 I am cleaning my house now. Literally right now. I want to surprise my 10 y/o & show her the fun, happy mommy is on the journey to recovering & healing to the right path. Eliminating depression and anxiety 1 day at a time. Work, holidays, mom life, death, life in general. #motivation
As a sahm trying to start a business with a 6,3,2 and little support its so refreshing to see a real lived in depresso home sometimes things fall through bit thats real
Lost my mum January 2020 her funeral was February (my birthday) so I'm in the exact same situation as you it's so hard 😔 be proud of yourself!! I'm about to make a start on my mess ❤
My dad passed away a day before thanksgiving and every year I have the same feelings that come over me. You just have to push through it and remind yourself that giving up isn’t an option. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!!
My grandpa passed a few weeks before christmas. Hr was finally gonna get to come over anf actually celebrate because he got his new mechanical legs. I definetly struggle on some days grieving definetly does not help making depression any better
This video helped alot because i see another mom going through depression and not wanting to do all that work until it piles up and it becomes a daunting task, bult seeing you clean and saying that you want to do it for your family and kids, I feel like i have to keep a sweet place for the fam to be comfortable, but I struggle hard with depression and just beeing lethargic and not wanting to get started cleaning.
You're doing an excellent job. I also suffer from anxiety and depression. My kids are grown but I have a special needs son who still makes a mess LOL. But your videos give me the inspiration to do the cleaning that I need to do. Thank you
I’m so grateful I found this video! I have really been wanting to make “cleaning” videos, but real life cleaning videos for people like me who struggle really bad with keeping up on it all! Not the videos of an already perfectly cleaned house 🤦🏼♀️ Do I want to get there someday? Definitely! But right now that’s just not my truth, and I want to be authentic ❤️ So thank you again! You have definitely inspired me.
Yes mama YOU DID THAT 👏🏼👏🏼 you kicked anxiety and depression's ass! Thank you so much for sharing I know it's not easy showing your vulnerable side but this was such a realistic house video I can relate so much and I thought I was the only one with a messy house and it would get me so frustrated. I'm currently struggling hard with PMDD, which means depression, anxiety, and mood swings are CRAZZYYY. It's so much harder to cope when the house is a mess 😭 but then the serotonin boost when you get it done is so worth it! We've got this 💗
I’m sorry you are grieving for your mom. (My dad just passed a month ago.) I hope with time the sadness has softened and you are doing better. I deal with clinical depression and fibromyalgia, plus I am overweight. My resultant low energy stresses me out because there are so many things I want to do. But I keep holding onto hope with faith. You are leading by example, which is so helpful. It’s satisfying to watch your space improve with every item you fold or put away. QUESTION: do you like the handheld vacuum you have? If you bought a new one, what would you look for?
My sister died on Christmas Eve a few years ago so I could totally relate! You don't forget but time heals alot. Thank you for sharing, I appreciate you sharing.
Thanks so much!after watching halfway though u talk alot but it motivates me and make me get up and start cleaning up my messy house.having depression and anxiety is really tough but after watching Ur video n words of motivations really motivated me..thanks a million...may God bless u!
Ugh I’m so glad I’m not alone! We just hosted Christmas at my house and it’s a complete wreck. I’m super overwhelmed with all these gifts (I promise I’m so grateful) and I’m feeling so depressed because I worked so hard and my house was spotless and now it is so bad. My husband doesn’t understand he’s like “why can’t you just clean” it’s such a struggle that he doesn’t understand. It’s hard.
Giiirl! I get it! It is December 27th and I havent touched a thing. I call it the Christmas hangover! I will bring you a cleaning motivation video this week to help you go into the new year without the anxiety! HANG IN THERE! YOU ARE NOT ALONE! And ignore your husband. I tell my husband if it bothers you so much then you can clean it. He never mentions it again! Lol!🤣💪🙏🤎🦋
Oh girl i needed fo find this video. I'm a widow, just passed the 7 year anniversary of his traumatic death and it always seems fresh again. It kicks off a stressful few months as I head into our sons' birthdays, my dad's death, and the holidays. We live over an hour away from the closest family for my job. I feel like I'm constantly fighting my house and measuring the energy I do havr this time of year, and always feeling like I'm not being the amazingly organized and prepared mom I want to be. Hearing you be so honest about your grief brought me to happy tears, so thank you for helping me feel like I'm not alone ❤
It's wonderful how you are sharing your journey. I'm also suffering from depression, raising two kids, working full time, raising two fur babies and married. This all caught up with me big time with a deterioration starting in October and have gotten back to anti-depressants, but I must says the rhythm of cleaning has been my coping mechanisms. Nevertheless, I appreciate seeing another mom facing depression and raising a family cos in my space all the mom's seem to be perfectly fine, no depression, just getting on with running a family. Sigh. keep up with the great content. Merry Christmas 🎄 taking it easy, cook just enough food that won't stress you out.
You were saying everything I needed to hear. I was crying by the end of this video because for the first time since I had my kids I really felt like someone understood. My mother also passed during the holiday seasons. Coming across your video has motivated me to push through the grief and stress and get my house a clean and safe place for my children to play. Thank you. You are a blessing
I feel your pain MaMa.. I'm also dealing with some depression and my house is showing for it. God is the only way I can get through it. And my 4 year old! It's hard to deal with depression when the reason you are depressed lives in the same house as you (boyfriend) and will be apart of your life forever! Please pray for me! But I'm so proud of you mama, keep up the good work!! ♥️
Thank you. My brother died on dec 16th too (2008) and now I still suffer from depression and anxiety bc of it. I only have a one-room appartement but it's always so messy and I feel guilty.
I lost my dad March 2019 and it still seems impossible to get anything done, this video seriously helped me. Thankyou for telling me to wash my face, much needed. 💕💕💕 bless you for staying motivated
I love how honest and comforting this video is, kids noises in the background and motivational speak alike. I’m not a mom, but I’ve dealt with anxiety and depression since I was a kid & I’ve found “adulting” in a timely and effective manner while fighting through those feelings is very hard. And it can feel very lonely and be very hard to get started and not give up, for yourself and those you love, this video helped me out a lot & gave me things to think on
Girl I need this today. My husband and I have been off and on sick since August, and sick throughout Thanksgiving and Christmas. The depression is real, and my house is a mess. Much love to you and your family 💕💕
Late to party. I have same. My mom's bday was Dec 16th. She died on xmas day 17 yrs ago funeral home did her funeral on Jan 1st. Disaster! All this lingers on all the yrs. Last couple been hard. I'm watching bless u.
My mom passed on Dec 16th 2018 and I feel you. It really does creep in no matter how hard you try and how strong you feel. Depression and anxiety just make it so much harder to remember how she would want you to feel and honor her life. Keep fighting, you are not alone!
Thank for the motivation! I got up and folded my laundry, put it away and quick tidy in the kitchen while working with you😃 I appreciate you keep it real. We have a 24 yr old still at home with us, which we absolutely love, so our gifts are on the smaller side. We downsized our home 3 months ago and we bought new things to replace the old. Plus we are more family oriented and enjoy the 3 of us being together. Merry Christmas 🎄
I love the gift-giving I love giving gifts to my family to my friends my perspective on it is Jesus was a gift the wise men brought gifts I just like the tradition of giving it's a lovely time to share and show for love that's my perspective on it
Found your video tonight. Nov. 2nd. I am a single mom of 4 and am actually sick right now. I am so embarrassed of my home that is has become depressing. I am a minimalist. I love cleaning and organizing but I have been so tired. But so thankful for your video.....I am cleaning and listening to you tell your story. Thank you for being so open and REAL. God bless you!
Found this after Christmas but I needed this video. Thank you for being real and honest. I lost my dad on December 31st 2020, it's hard I get so depressed. Christmas was brutally hard this year especially for my daughter but we got through it.
I found a great way to motivate myself I looked through magazines with furniture in it and I get something that looks similar to my bedroom set and how clean and beautiful it looks and I hang it as inspiration
I’ve spent the last week unpacking, decluttering, organizing, decorating, cleaning, and doing marathon laundry. As someone who struggles with ADD, depression, anxiety, and OCD, many of these tasks (and just staying on track) can seem impossible. I made myself a comprehensive list of everything I wanted and needed to accomplish, and I kept repeating your mantra: “progress, not perfection.” Despite getting sidetracked countless times throughout the process, I’m happy to report that I checked off the last bit of my list today, took a relaxing shower, and enjoyed time with my family. I didn’t complete everything on my long to-do list, but I did do 95% of it, and the other 5% was on my “want to do” list (refinishing furniture, hanging new curtains, cleaning the patio furniture, etc.). Thank you for sharing your life and struggles with us so openly and honestly. I love watching your progress in every video and it always inspires and motivates me. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas!! 😘🎄✝️
I am a big gift giver, my kids only get one childhood so I'd like for it to be as magical as possible. My kids very much look forward to Christmas and I couldn't imagine taking that away.
I definitely feel the anxiety of new gifts coming in from family. My daughter gets so much from our family that we just get a few big items for her. Glad I’m not the only one who feels that way. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas.
You’re not alone! Our family goes above and beyond (which I’m so grateful for) but all it does is make me want to cry while staring at it knowing I have to clean the house back up from hosting Christmas and put away all these gifts. It’s stressful mama but you’ve got this!
Thank you for this video! I lost both of my grandpas days apart last September. One was like a dad to me. It devastated me and I haven't had any energy or motivation to clean. But this has given me hope and motivation to get up and clean. Thank you again!
Thank you Laura. I see so much of myself when I hear your struggles with A&D. For many years after my brother died, I went through all the details of his death each year. He was killed 5 days after Christmas. It is still very hard after all these years. 😢 My prayers for you and you family as you celebrate this season of love. Merry Christmas. 💞🎄🌟✝️
I heard the term "seasonal depression" the other day, and I'm like 😲 Is that a thing!? Is that me!? Holidays are so hard, especially this year. Missing my momma always, then last year I lost my grandparents. I've just been so tired, and not wanting to do all the fun things, even though I LOVE Christmas. Just taking it day by day and doing my best, trying to make it fun for the kids. I'm happy... But I'm so exhausted. 😕 Thank you for sharing this. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas, my beautiful friend! Sending prayers and hugs!💜
Thank you for your videos I’m dealing with depression and anxiety my brother had passed thanksgiving day and then my beloved rabbit passed away last month my motivation has gone to zero some days it’s OK other days it’s harder I just started watching your videos and I started feeling better and getting motivated thank you for letting others know that we’re not alone and thank you for giving me the motivation that it’s OK to feel what we feel I just get up and get motivated to clean thank you for your videos
Keep doing what you're doing. It's so important to talk about this and show what depression and anxiety can look like realistically. No one should feel ashamed and thank you for battling the stigma 💗
Love you, and the love I feel from you! Thank you!!! 💗💗💗 When I repacked my ornaments, I donated everything that didn't make it on the tree. I have a friend that literally wraps her tree with ornaments with industrial cling wrap and pushes into a closet. Genius! She just pulls it out and unwraps it and PRESTO, instantly done.
By some miracle after I watched you the other day I got up off the couch and got my shit together. I’m done as far as I’m doing. I lost a sweet cousin yesterday, I’m trying not to let that put me down. And the brothers I lost years ago weigh my heart down, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Do hopefully I’ll keep going. I appreciate you. ❤️🎄
I am so happy to hear I got you up and moving! That's always the hardest part. Also, sending big hugs and prayers for your loss. Losing loved ones just sucks! It's the hardest part of living this life! May her soul rest in peace.🙏🏻 And your brothers. I couldn't imagine losing a sibling. Why does this life have to be so damn hard! Stay Mighty Kathy! We are all in this shit together💪🏻🤎🙏🏻🦋!
Thank you so much. I don’t have anybody to come help me clean since my kiddos are sick and your words are the support and encouragement that I needed. ❤
I highly recommend letting your kids decide what to give away. And this will also teach them good habits for when they are older 👍🏼 parents always want to be in control I’ve noticed sometimes we gotta let go and teach our kids early on responsibility and decision making it will also help you in the end! And you can give them two trash bags and say these needs to be filled so you have to pick your favorite toys guys. And also when it comes to gifts this why we have kids write lists keep it simple for family and friends. And tell grandparents here’s what he wants I want to stick with that because I’m getting rid of stuff and whatever else. Don’t be afraid to set those boundaries girl ! This was a fantastic video! Keep it up can’t wait to see you continue posting !
Totally understand that feeling. I have lost my mom, my dad, my best friend, and was just diagnosed with a brain tumor. (Benign, but pressing on optic nerve so my vision is terrible!) I hope your depression begins to lighten. It does overwhelm you. Thank you for this video and helping to motivate us. 🙏✌️❤️
I just want to say thank you!!! You help this momma so so much. Keep doing what your doing. It's so nice to know there is others out there just like me who struggle.
I randomly came across this video and I have a 2 yo and I'm pregnant with my second baby and I told my husband last night I just feel so overwhelmed and for the past week it's hard to even get out of bed and so this has really helped me today because of everything i been dealing with thank n u for keeping this so real
Thank you I needed this. My depression is so high right now… I’m gonna get of my butt and begin a deep spring cleaning ❤ Only downside is my body needs rest after every 15 minutes to 30 minutes for 5 minutes at minimum. And then getting back up is always my problem. If I don’t rest I can’t do anything for up to 4 days after a full day of cleaning
33 weeks pregnant and feeling so guilty for not having the motivation to get my home ready for my daughter. This video has been helping a ton, thank you so much!
Hi , only found your channel and have been binge watching all your videos. You are truly amazing. You really do help I live in Adelaide Australia and I have 6 children and my partner has 6 children and 3 grandchildren between us ( thank goodness most are adults) I have been suffering for a long time and this helps so much 😊 I’m so sorry about your mum and I’m sure she is smiling down at you for the help you are giving everyone 😊❤️
I appreciate you doing this. I wish I would have found this before Christmas. I could have used this motivation. I just want to say one thing to you that might make you feel better and help you with the work load: cut the amount of toys you have in half. They don't need that many and they don't play with all of those. You're making more work for yourself than you need to. My boys are 12 and 16 now so we no longer have toys, but I can tell you that I had day when I snapped about 9 or so years ago. I bought them both a smallish tote and told them they could have whatever fit in the tote. Surprisingly, they were fine with it. They picked what they wanted and they helped me donate the rest and that was it. It was life changing.
I just have to say.. I have been struggling with my anxiety and depression lately and I 100% planned on watching this while sitting in bed.. but when you said GET UP.. I immediately felt the urge and motivation to clean. So thank you. 🥺 You just gained a lifetime follower. ❤
Thank youuuuu!Im not a mother nor father (im 15)but my mother passed away few months ago and im having a bad time cleaning cooking etc.I always feel unmotivated whenever I go home from school and seeing the house untidy and because of this video it really help me to clean and feel motivated everyday.Thanks again!
Yes! Ive been trying to declutter as well leading up to the Holidays! We are so greatful for all the love our friends and family shower our child with but it definitely gets overwhelming. I totally agree, gift giving is so dumb. Like adult to adult I dont need a gift from anyone and its just expensive and not necessary. Id rather just have it be about family, and creating memories.Good Food, Good Company and Good Laughs.
I so love watching and just listening to you talk as I attempt to clean because it helps me with my depression of seeing too much clutter that I'm a hoarder. I'm ready to start selling and getting things out. Not a momma just depression after the loss of my parents.
You are amazing. I had 4 kids and I know how fast it all gets out of hand. But if I left all the cleanup and food shopping until 2 days before Xmas, I would not be able to cope. My sister can do that, but I start preparing weeks ahead of time. Right now I am doing some crazy minimizing, and it is so great to be free of so much stuff that I cherished in the past, but am no longer interested in it. PS. I have depression, too. It is genetic, and I had a really bad childhood. But I see a doctor for it and take meds, so it is under control. I feel so much better now that I am able to keep things tidy on a daily basis, and don't let it all get trashed. I was surprised how much some of these little things bothered me. For example, my husband has a basket on our dresser that he throws EVERYTHING into. He considers that "put away." I hate that mess. So I gave him a cute box with a flip lid. Now I cannot see his junk and it does not make me feel like my bedroom is a mess. It was a nice compromise.
Growing up my mom had a really hard time keeping the house clean due to chronic fatigue and depression. I grew up in a pretty messy and filthy household. I’ve carried on those habits in my own house. I fall into a nasty depression which results in my home getting just as filthy and messy. Right now I’m doing a deep cleaning and I’m going one room at a time. This has helped a lot. Thank you so much!
Hello from Honduras!! Love your videos. You gave me the energy to finish decorating. Never had I taken so long, but this year I feel I’m over the big tree. I went pretty organic and minimal. We raised our children giving them a few gifts 2 or 3. That’s the way we do it down here. Nothing like going crazy. What matters is the memories. My mom also passed away and it’s hard,. It’s ok to feel depressed at some point, but I also enjoy the season.
I absolutely love this video, especially when you spoke of the true meaning of Christmas. I’ve been feeling the same way recently, trying to get away from all the gift-giving and focus more on the celebration of Jesus’ birth. I’m watching in May, and feeling motivated to go wash my face and get started cleaning my space. God bless you, Mighty Mama. Praying with you that God heals our anxiety and depression! 🧡
I’m no mom, in fact I’m a college student with depression and anxiety, but this has really helped me! I need to work in a clean space to focus so I think today will be spent cleaning because of you ☺️
Thank you for this video! I just found it late night in May while searching for for cleaning motivation. I work overnight and I usually stay up on my nights off. It's so lonely and hard to get up and clean at night when everyone else is sleeping. Your voice and Christmas music kept me company while I made some progress tonight!❤️💚❤️💚
Seeing this month's later... just want to say all of you Mamas are amazing! I don't have kids and can barely hold it together myself. Hang in there. This platform helps my anxiety just knowing others have similar situation. 💜🙏🦋
I'm not exactly a mom, but This is my first Christmas without my mom and I'm only 20, I'm also dealing with OCD and Depression and anxiety. I lost my mom in April of this year. Thank you for your videos I need help💖
This video came up after a search on how to clean my house with depression. I lost my mom this July and this is my first Christmas without her. Thank you so much for this it brought me to tears and I will have this on when I get home to clean.
I know this is a Christmas video but honestly watching you clean and listening to the things you were saying was so helpful to me tonight. I didn't know cleaning motivation videos were a thing and I'm so glad I found you today. I needed help.
I just started a class called grief share. It is really helping me. They have classes everywhere. You can find locations on their website. I am learning some of my depression is b/c I have tried to stuff the grief feeling. You have a community of people there too. Praying for you. Great job cleaning!
What sucks so much a decluttered home can help you so much when you feel depressed but depression won't even allow you to get to begin & it's just a vicous cycle. This helped me get started, I just started free styling, and the music helped, and also a few other pointers mentioned . Thankyou .
I love the music choices for this video! It really makes you get in the mood to not only clean and Declutter but also get ready for the upcoming holiday. Thank you for sharing your struggles and accomplishments! Hope you had a merry Christmas and happy new year!
Definetly have found myself overwhelmed with toys! I was starting to dread birthdays and christmas because I had nowhere to put everything my kids got. I am finally learning that they would rather get an experience as a gift than a thing. So I find out what they are interested in and give them "vouchers" for activities that we wouldn't normally get to do. It's been so peaceful and the last 2 birthdays in our house I've actually gotten to enjoy the celebration!
Honestly you rock! I’m about to watch now and your motivation and cleaning, decluttering and way of compartmentalizing all this anxiety and depression always helps me put myself into my place to feel better and get to work in my house and to also clear my mind! I know how hard you work, and how it is!❤️🎄sending love and peace
Big Hugs and Kisses! I appreciate you soooo much! 🤎🙏✝️💪🎄

@@MightyMama I’m honestly so glad I’ve come across your video. I have deliberating depression, also it’s my parents anniversary of their death and I really need to get the house done but just have no motivation but obviously I need to, to provide a nice family home. So I’m playing this along doing my house. I’m looking forwards to once it’s finally done!. Thank you once again 💗❤️
I love how real you are! Dont ever be embarrassed of sharing your messy lives some are messier then others! I am I was a hording show I had so much loss in my life from rape to losing my 18 yr old son to suicide and my brother being murdered I stopped living! Stopped caring and stoped cleaning I wanted to not be here anymore! Then one day I was sitting on a bench and a old lady came up to me and prayed for me I looked around didn't see anyone! I was going to go into the river to end my pain! God had other plans I felt this peace swoop over me and I felt better decided to go home and try I managed after 6 months to get my life back on track ! I cleaned decluttered moved toxic people out even family and lost over 80 lbs became healthy mentally physically and emotionally 🙏 you are an inspiration to others thank you 💕 keep going others need you! 🙏❤️ God bless you love from Canada ❤️ now work with homeless people and realized this was gods plan 🙏
I have a 6 year old son, a 4 year old daughter and a 10 week old son.. I’m literally bawling watching this video at 1AM. Looking around, it’s heartbreaking that my kids have to be raised with me struggling mentally. This video gives me hope. Thank you so much for letting us into your personal life.. this has helped me so much. Sending so many hugs! 🥺♥️
I am sitting in bed promising that I’m going to start tomorrow. When my house is out or order it takes such a toll on my mental health and I’ve been depression for a year now and I’m overwhelmed with the mess. I don’t know where to start. I just cry and then go to sleep. Hoping this video help me
Omg this is literally me. I have 3 kid under 4 and It’s so hard but coming on this video and seeing this just made me so determined that I can get things back in order.
You can do it! As a child of a parent who struggles, its okay! I struggle myself as a working college student. I know as long as I’m trying, thats the best thing you can do. Honestly, growing up in a messy home taught me how to clean…which is kinda funny. You’re kids are lucky to have a mother that loves them deeply. You are not alone!!
One day at a time X
👇👇THIS IS how i CLEAN my MESS
m.ua-cam.com/video/q9YOJBUBpl0/v-deo.html
I’m 22 my daughter passed away almost 3 months ago at 9 months and today I finally cleaned my room I still have a ways to go but to end the day I watched this and I feel like I now have some more in me.
I'm sorry for your loss 💜 🫂 I've been struggling too as my mum passed away recently and it just gets overwhelming sometimes. But just know every little step you take, you're doing amazing, you can do this, just take it a day and a step at a time 💜🫂🫂 Bless you and your family
I hope you are able to move forward in life. You will never get over the loss of your daughter. God bless.
I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine. I will be praying for you.
Sending you a big hug ❤
Just a piece of advice that took me a long time to jump on board with but truly does work. Your kids don’t need that many toys and research’s shows they play better and engage longer with toys when they have less decisions to make.
Part of your depression, certainly not all, but part, is that you have so many things (so much inventory) to manage. This is especially hard if you have ADHD because every little thing is distracting. I have ADHD also and the more I move towards minimalism the less depression I have. I lost my mom a few years ago and know how hard it is. It gets better.
I have to agree. Donate 90% of those toys… especially due to that is most of the mess. Teach him how to clean up as well instead of watching you clean up. If it’s to much for his room then it’s to much. I would like to thank you for the motivation video I am sure it will help so many struggling…
I wish I n w that sonner smfh I had a nice crate size them box's and box's they don't even touch even my self
@@mrsbettytracy6669 this is me I’ve come to terms I have to declutter I have 3 kids and between them all they only need about 10 toys. It’s just starting the process that’s hard but I know I can do it
Goodness yes too many toys! And if the kids would just learn to put their toys away when they’re done with them, that would be a huge weight off her shoulders! I know it’s hard and takes a lot of work to get kids to cooperate with that though and sometimes you get caught in a loop of just chasing the problem rather than addressing the source of it. By the time she’s done cleaning up she’s probably way too exhausted to work with her kids on cleaning up after themselves, and next thing she knows there’s a new mess to clean up.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that suffers like this. I cry most days because of my house and it's gotten so bad idk where to start. I did clean most of my living room with some help but it's so hard to get the motivation. Thank you to every mom out here who understands and isn't judging like so many others I know
Thank you for the motivation. I hate when I see “cleaning videos” and it’s a nearly perfect house already. Thanks for keeping it real
Same. It makes me feel horrible about myself. Like If they think that's messy I hate to hear what they think about mine
@@jennlenk they are cleaning, not tidying a mess. cleaning is easy. tidying can be far more difficult and overwhelming.
I think those videos are good because they show people keeping up with their homes. But I’ve definitely been where this lady is too…
You mean you don't watch them cleaning their 'magazine homes' they live in? Geez I thought everybody watched those videos.
@@jennlenk don't worry your kids will grow up and leave home then you will have a magazine home.
Honestly the thing that I'm admiring the most in your video is that you're cleaning in baggy comfy clothes. Sweat pants and a t-shirt. I see so many of these cleaning videos in cute workout clothes or jeans and a cute shirt. Hair done, full face of makeup. No. You are being so so authentic in this and I love it so much. I'm wearing almost exactly the same thing, so I don't feel the need to go "put myself together" before cleaning. This is amazing. This is the sort of video we need. THANK YOU!
Hey girl!! Omg! I could never get all dolled up to clean. I always shower after I clean anyway so its pointless and a waste of time and energy that I already do not have!🤣 Thank you so much for taking the time to clean with me! I hope you will stick around on this messy to minimal journey!♡
THIS. Sooooooo sick to death of white-silver-grey designer homes of bored SAHM calling their videos “realistic cleaning” and there’s two cups on the counter, half a bag of trash and like 3 pces of clothing on the couch 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 that’s not cleaning, it’s showing off your home and your $500 white tshirt and jeans while you’re husband slaves away in an office somewhere 💀💩 NOW THIS is an actual cleaning video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🧐👏🏻🧐
If you suffer from mental health problems and you have hard time keeping your house clean, my tip is to declutter. When you have less stuff, it is so much easier to organize and everything just finds back to it´s place after using it. I decluttered and became kind of minimalist after I couldn´t keep my house clean and organized due mental illnesses. Getting rid of the stuff I don´t really need or use was the best decision and these days my house is most of the time very clean!☺ Great video🥰👍
I came to UA-cam and literally searching “overwhelmed with my house” and up popped your video. From one anxiety and depression battling mama to another, THANK YOU for this video. I’m sitting here looking at my home and I just broke down into tears. Between crippling mental illness and battling chronic pain, I’ve lost my drive to clean. I so desperately want to get my home in order though and YOU are helping!!!
I hear you. I can say that if I have the energy - I clean and de clutter a small area and just look at that and feel better. I just take one area at a time. Then I praise myself for at least doing that area. It motivates me to tackle other areas but you are not alone. When they are able try ti make your kids clean up after themselves- a while nother animal - treat yourself to a small thing once you complete a small task. Sometimes it’s hard to even shower myself when I’m so low!!! You are not alone.
Your video really helped me out being Disabled after 12 spinal surgeries and seizures, very bad depression and anxiety, and including agoraphobia!
I feel your struggle and send all my prays to you and your family!
I would be overwhelmed with that many toys as a child. I did routine purges/yard sales at different phases of my life. It was super rewarding 💜 I’m sure they would love to learn the value of letting go and basic business practices 💕💕💕
I randomly came across this video when I searched mental health. I am always so hard on myself because when I’m in an episode, I have no motivation to clean and my house looks like a mess all the time. This video gave me motivation and showed me I’m not alone. Thank you 😊
I’m 23 with a 2 year old and lost my mother last year in September. Mother’s Day just past and it’s been really hard keeping the house clean and just keeping myself in a decent mental space. Thank you for being honest about how you’re feeling bc this is the first time I’ve heard someone describe exactly how I’ve been feeling and it really makes me not feel so alone. Thank you thank you thank you!!! 💛
Im definitely can relate to you my house is a mess it's not dirty I just buy stuff and just leave it in the bag now I only use my bedroom and bathroom and kitchen and I keep my bathroom clean and my kitchen buy I neglect everything else im so damn depressed I no my ma would not want me to live like this it's so hard im struggling to get off my prescription pain pills because they don't help me I feel like giving up but I don't want to go to hell .
@@ceeceemoni3458 Die haben sich in ihrer Frechheit gegenseitig hochgeschaukelt. "Haaaaaa, da hockt einer und sch....... " "Bekommen sie blos nicht einen kalten Hintern," rief die Zweite, bis Dritte dann frech auf mich zukam. Auch als ich nacher an ihnen vorbeifuhr. "So haben sie ihren Aesch wieder eingepackt." "Wenn man einen abgeseilt hat, faehrt es sich gleich leichter auf dem Rad."
Waere mir eine alleine begegnet, waere sie wohl ganz diskret vorbeigegangen ????
When I can't clean and the house is messy I feel very sad. But once I clean I feel better cleaning helps me every time I feel sad I clean. You are not alone I know what it feels like
Thank God for this video. The words fit me exactly. I used to watch "Hoarders' when I was "normal" My depression turned to a slow burn with my last employer. The backstabbing, the secret monitoring, the gaslighting. About 2 years ago I began neglecting the Amazon boxes. For some reason I COULDNT get them into the recycle bin, then I couldnt even get the boxes into the garage and so on. Then I found online grocery ordering. I worked from home, shopped from home, rarely left my house. Now, I can hardly move without stepping on something. I dont want to keep gabbing. Just love this video
THANK YOU for uploading!! I am a young mom who struggles with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety. It gets to be too much sometimes so it is SUCH a relief to see someone else like me ❤️
🤎🙏💪✝️ you are definitely not alone sister! We got this!!
Не надо поддаваться эмоциям. Я сама эппелепсией страдаю. Но никогда не надо говорить я страдаю я больна. Разум и сила воля сильнее чем дипрессия и тревога. Не поддавайся.
It's been on my heart to tell you how much it means to me to really know I am not alone in the shackles and chains of depression and anxiety. I watch UA-cam on TV so I can't usually comment and honestly I'm not very social but the Lord's put it on my heart to reach out to you and let you know how amazing you are and what a blessing you are to us all. God bless you Mighty Mama, you are a dose of inspiration! 💜
I just want to thank you so much for being raw. I really needed to see the mess, your story & your motivation. Everyone has different things that snap them out of depression, what’s yours (I’ll understand if you don’t want to share). I am always fighting with my depression and anxiety. My way the past year has been watching inspirational videos, oddly satisfying videos and my final videos are the cleaning videos. Most of the time I don’t realize I’m depressed until I’m wanting to sleep all the time or I missed work because I can’t make myself get up. That’s when I call the doc. I just missed a little over a month of work. I am a CNA & I have to be there for the residents heart and body. It’s a very physically & mentally straining job, but I love people & I love taking care of people that can’t do it for their selfs any more. On top of the work being straining, if the company you work for is not their for you & do things to make it harder, it really takes a toll on you. Anyways, thank you for your video, it really hit the spot for me today 🙏❤️!
OMG I think you're my spirit animal... 😢 I'm in the mist of fighting through my depression and it definitely shows in my house and it's just making things worst. I don't even know where to start.
Just start something! Get up for 5 minutes, take up a trash bag and pick up some trashes throughout your house. It's enough for a great start! You got this!🥰
We've been slowly reducing our gift giving for several years. I feel the same way you do about it. We focus more on togetherness. We had 100% consumables in our stockings. We try our best to stick with gifting the most needed items to the children. My tree didn't go up until Monday. Great job bringing it all together.
The looks on your children's faces as they helped you decorate is priceless. Letting them help helps you with your burden and they learn valuable lessons and skills from you. Good for you!
I always push myself to do what I think needs to be done but it never is what I really feel like doing so I always end up frustrated and disappointed with myself. Your tips on how to clean with anxiety and depression have helped me a lot, thank you! As for starting a minimalist journey, I don't have kids and am not from the US but the impression I have is that you guys always have so much stuff! I grew up in a very frugal home and as any kid, I always wanted a lot of toys but learned to use my imagination to play with the little I had.
My brother and his wife started a college fund for my kids instead of gifts I love it and agree with it
Thank you for this, after two ectopic pregnancies back to back and PPD hitting along with PTSD, I’m struggling mentally and my house is reflecting it badly. I plan on cleaning a little each day after work, I’m finally getting counseling this week so hopefully that helps too! Thank you again ❤️
i hope you are feeling better, now. i am sorry for what you have been through.
I hope all the best hope u get pregnant I'm going through cyst blood clot growing full year can't move clean anything so depressed had surgery then got sepsis covid bladder damaged had catheta and then had surgery again remove half ovary tube and blood clot again had miscarriage October then had last surgery December and couldn't move 1 month then had very heavy period so had to go to hospital stay in 2 day and got better then have pancreatic and liver damaged been told my genetic blood pancreatic is 4x times high in hospital 1 week and little rest now march 2023 and watching this video I want to clean my house with no sleep a d full on pain relief hate having pain relief so now feel better just vet it out there feel so much better sorry all
Yes, my goodness I’m so glad I have found your channel! I suffer so bad with depression anxiety panic, overwhelmed, ocd! I lost my mom on June 19th, this year and it’s caused all my symptoms to be so much worse!!!! I’m to the point I just don’t know what to do to get things in order and at peace in my home!
Oh Christa! My heart aches for you! I will be praying for you by name daily. I pray that you are flooded with relief and comfort and happiness again. But most importantly confidence and courage to live on with your Mom. It is rough I know but you can find a new normal in your life to live happy and at peace even if right now it seems like you will never get there again. Just remember how your Mom lived and how she expects you to live. You live on in this way with all the strength you have and you are honoring her life in the most respectful way. She would be proud to know you are moving on and getting through even without her. She does not want you suffering because of her passing. Can I ask do you have children? If so, I look to my children as that they look to me to live life and would be lost without me. This helps me to go on without a Mom and know that I add value to someone else life and it's important that I am healthy for my children and thriving to show them how to live. I show them that when I die they must go on the same way Mom went on all her life without her own Mom. I hope I am making sense and helping some. I will keep you in my prayers. Please ask God for your healing and strength. He wants to help you. All you have to do is ask. Also, go watch my Natural remedies video for anxiety and depression and see if that will help you. The key things are to stay healthy, thriving and active. The more we remain stagnant the more we are losing the battle with depression and anxiety. I believe in rest when you need it but if your life is falling apart then it's time to get up and get moving! No one is going to come rescue you. Only you can rescue you! Also, when you are very sad and aching from missing her so much just close your eyes and talk to your mom and ask her to comfort you. Sit in the moment for a while and really communicate with her in your mind. She will come! You will feel her and you will suddenly feel comforted, warm and stop crying. It's amazing! The spirit works even after this life! Please take care of yourself! Your Mom would want you to. I am always here if you need to talk or message me on Instagram @mighty.mama. Stay Mighty & God bless! 💪🏻🙏🏻🤎🦋
@@MightyMama You truly had me in tears, I pray god that you will be a comforting person to all the broken hearts.
God may use you in various ways and bless u and ur amazing family.
Lots of love ❤️
I have depression and anxiety and it’s a struggle to kept everything up. This year I am going to declutter and simplify everything. Finish all the projects around the house. I’m glad I found your channel. I really need the motivation.
BTW, depression is a BARKER! I had it for years and kicked it about 17 years ago and have not had an episode since thank God! So I know what depression does and how hard and heavy it can be. I can’t relate to the anxiety, but I’m certain that it does not make it easier and yet YOU GET IT DONE, GIRL!❤️
I’m so, so proud of you and the way you thrust your foot in the face of depression and anxiety with these videos!❤️
Your videos are so awesome & you will be blessed for showing your vulnerability in the service of others! As a single mom, I got in the habit of having "3" gifts for each child each Christmas- a mommy gift, a santa gift, and their stocking. It kept things affordable, manageable and brought joy to the season to not overspend or overextend ❤
My grandsons’ get 3 gifts from me. A want, a board game or card game and a “stocking” with body wash, chapstick, a pair or two of fun socks, and a favorite candy.
I lost my mother over the holidays too. I am so proud of you for fighting your anxiety and depression! You are mighty! Any mother would be so proud to have a daughter like you. Your children are blessed to have a mama like you. Thanks for the inspiration.
I’m a mama that used to keep my house in order…I’m older now and it’s gotten really bad. Your video is just what I needed, even though I no longer have young children. Thank you.
Two years later & I’m in tears watching this video. Thank you for giving me home to get better for my kids.
Wow my house looks the same, my mom passed August last year. I thought I was the only one against time.🕐 I am cleaning my house now. Literally right now. I want to surprise my 10 y/o & show her the fun, happy mommy is on the journey to recovering & healing to the right path. Eliminating depression and anxiety 1 day at a time. Work, holidays, mom life, death, life in general. #motivation
As a sahm trying to start a business with a 6,3,2 and little support its so refreshing to see a real lived in depresso home sometimes things fall through bit thats real
Lost my mum January 2020 her funeral was February (my birthday) so I'm in the exact same situation as you it's so hard 😔 be proud of yourself!! I'm about to make a start on my mess ❤
My dad passed away a day before thanksgiving and every year I have the same feelings that come over me. You just have to push through it and remind yourself that giving up isn’t an option. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!!
My grandpa passed a few weeks before christmas. Hr was finally gonna get to come over anf actually celebrate because he got his new mechanical legs. I definetly struggle on some days grieving definetly does not help making depression any better
This video helped alot because i see another mom going through depression and not wanting to do all that work until it piles up and it becomes a daunting task, bult seeing you clean and saying that you want to do it for your family and kids, I feel like i have to keep a sweet place for the fam to be comfortable, but I struggle hard with depression and just beeing lethargic and not wanting to get started cleaning.
You're doing an excellent job. I also suffer from anxiety and depression. My kids are grown but I have a special needs son who still makes a mess LOL. But your videos give me the inspiration to do the cleaning that I need to do. Thank you
I’m so grateful I found this video! I have really been wanting to make “cleaning” videos, but real life cleaning videos for people like me who struggle really bad with keeping up on it all! Not the videos of an already perfectly cleaned house 🤦🏼♀️ Do I want to get there someday? Definitely! But right now that’s just not my truth, and I want to be authentic ❤️ So thank you again! You have definitely inspired me.
Yes mama YOU DID THAT 👏🏼👏🏼 you kicked anxiety and depression's ass! Thank you so much for sharing I know it's not easy showing your vulnerable side but this was such a realistic house video I can relate so much and I thought I was the only one with a messy house and it would get me so frustrated. I'm currently struggling hard with PMDD, which means depression, anxiety, and mood swings are CRAZZYYY. It's so much harder to cope when the house is a mess 😭 but then the serotonin boost when you get it done is so worth it! We've got this 💗
I’m sorry you are grieving for your mom. (My dad just passed a month ago.) I hope with time the sadness has softened and you are doing better. I deal with clinical depression and fibromyalgia, plus I am overweight. My resultant low energy stresses me out because there are so many things I want to do. But I keep holding onto hope with faith. You are leading by example, which is so helpful. It’s satisfying to watch your space improve with every item you fold or put away. QUESTION: do you like the handheld vacuum you have? If you bought a new one, what would you look for?
My sister died on Christmas Eve a few years ago so I could totally relate! You don't forget but time heals alot. Thank you for sharing, I appreciate you sharing.
Thanks so much!after watching halfway though u talk alot but it motivates me and make me get up and start cleaning up my messy house.having depression and anxiety is really tough but after watching Ur video n words of motivations really motivated me..thanks a million...may God bless u!
Ugh I’m so glad I’m not alone! We just hosted Christmas at my house and it’s a complete wreck. I’m super overwhelmed with all these gifts (I promise I’m so grateful) and I’m feeling so depressed because I worked so hard and my house was spotless and now it is so bad. My husband doesn’t understand he’s like “why can’t you just clean” it’s such a struggle that he doesn’t understand. It’s hard.
Giiirl! I get it! It is December 27th and I havent touched a thing. I call it the Christmas hangover! I will bring you a cleaning motivation video this week to help you go into the new year without the anxiety! HANG IN THERE! YOU ARE NOT ALONE! And ignore your husband. I tell my husband if it bothers you so much then you can clean it. He never mentions it again! Lol!🤣💪🙏🤎🦋
Oh girl i needed fo find this video. I'm a widow, just passed the 7 year anniversary of his traumatic death and it always seems fresh again. It kicks off a stressful few months as I head into our sons' birthdays, my dad's death, and the holidays. We live over an hour away from the closest family for my job. I feel like I'm constantly fighting my house and measuring the energy I do havr this time of year, and always feeling like I'm not being the amazingly organized and prepared mom I want to be. Hearing you be so honest about your grief brought me to happy tears, so thank you for helping me feel like I'm not alone ❤
It's wonderful how you are sharing your journey. I'm also suffering from depression, raising two kids, working full time, raising two fur babies and married. This all caught up with me big time with a deterioration starting in October and have gotten back to anti-depressants, but I must says the rhythm of cleaning has been my coping mechanisms. Nevertheless, I appreciate seeing another mom facing depression and raising a family cos in my space all the mom's seem to be perfectly fine, no depression, just getting on with running a family. Sigh. keep up with the great content. Merry Christmas 🎄 taking it easy, cook just enough food that won't stress you out.
You were saying everything I needed to hear. I was crying by the end of this video because for the first time since I had my kids I really felt like someone understood. My mother also passed during the holiday seasons. Coming across your video has motivated me to push through the grief and stress and get my house a clean and safe place for my children to play. Thank you. You are a blessing
I feel your pain MaMa.. I'm also dealing with some depression and my house is showing for it. God is the only way I can get through it. And my 4 year old! It's hard to deal with depression when the reason you are depressed lives in the same house as you (boyfriend) and will be apart of your life forever! Please pray for me! But I'm so proud of you mama, keep up the good work!! ♥️
Thank you. My brother died on dec 16th too (2008) and now I still suffer from depression and anxiety bc of it. I only have a one-room appartement but it's always so messy and I feel guilty.
I lost my dad March 2019 and it still seems impossible to get anything done, this video seriously helped me. Thankyou for telling me to wash my face, much needed. 💕💕💕 bless you for staying motivated
Edit; 2020, not 2019 my brain and memory aren’t what they used to be
I love how honest and comforting this video is, kids noises in the background and motivational speak alike.
I’m not a mom, but I’ve dealt with anxiety and depression since I was a kid & I’ve found “adulting” in a timely and effective manner while fighting through those feelings is very hard. And it can feel very lonely and be very hard to get started and not give up, for yourself and those you love, this video helped me out a lot & gave me things to think on
Girl I need this today. My husband and I have been off and on sick since August, and sick throughout Thanksgiving and Christmas. The depression is real, and my house is a mess. Much love to you and your family 💕💕
Late to party. I have same. My mom's bday was Dec 16th. She died on xmas day 17 yrs ago funeral home did her funeral on Jan 1st. Disaster! All this lingers on all the yrs. Last couple been hard. I'm watching bless u.
My mom passed on Dec 16th 2018 and I feel you. It really does creep in no matter how hard you try and how strong you feel. Depression and anxiety just make it so much harder to remember how she would want you to feel and honor her life. Keep fighting, you are not alone!
Thank for the motivation! I got up and folded my laundry, put it away and quick tidy in the kitchen while working with you😃 I appreciate you keep it real. We have a 24 yr old still at home with us, which we absolutely love, so our gifts are on the smaller side. We downsized our home 3 months ago and we bought new things to replace the old. Plus we are more family oriented and enjoy the 3 of us being together. Merry Christmas 🎄
I love the gift-giving I love giving gifts to my family to my friends my perspective on it is Jesus was a gift the wise men brought gifts I just like the tradition of giving it's a lovely time to share and show for love that's my perspective on it
You are awsome and this video made my day!
Found your video tonight. Nov. 2nd. I am a single mom of 4 and am actually sick right now. I am so embarrassed of my home that is has become depressing. I am a minimalist. I love cleaning and organizing but I have been so tired. But so thankful for your video.....I am cleaning and listening to you tell your story. Thank you for being so open and REAL. God bless you!
Found this after Christmas but I needed this video. Thank you for being real and honest. I lost my dad on December 31st 2020, it's hard I get so depressed. Christmas was brutally hard this year especially for my daughter but we got through it.
I found a great way to motivate myself I looked through magazines with furniture in it and I get something that looks similar to my bedroom set and how clean and beautiful it looks and I hang it as inspiration
I’ve spent the last week unpacking, decluttering, organizing, decorating, cleaning, and doing marathon laundry. As someone who struggles with ADD, depression, anxiety, and OCD, many of these tasks (and just staying on track) can seem impossible. I made myself a comprehensive list of everything I wanted and needed to accomplish, and I kept repeating your mantra: “progress, not perfection.” Despite getting sidetracked countless times throughout the process, I’m happy to report that I checked off the last bit of my list today, took a relaxing shower, and enjoyed time with my family. I didn’t complete everything on my long to-do list, but I did do 95% of it, and the other 5% was on my “want to do” list (refinishing furniture, hanging new curtains, cleaning the patio furniture, etc.). Thank you for sharing your life and struggles with us so openly and honestly. I love watching your progress in every video and it always inspires and motivates me. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas!! 😘🎄✝️
I am a big gift giver, my kids only get one childhood so I'd like for it to be as magical as possible. My kids very much look forward to Christmas and I couldn't imagine taking that away.
I definitely feel the anxiety of new gifts coming in from family. My daughter gets so much from our family that we just get a few big items for her. Glad I’m not the only one who feels that way. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas.
You’re not alone! Our family goes above and beyond (which I’m so grateful for) but all it does is make me want to cry while staring at it knowing I have to clean the house back up from hosting Christmas and put away all these gifts. It’s stressful mama but you’ve got this!
Thank you for this video! I lost both of my grandpas days apart last September. One was like a dad to me. It devastated me and I haven't had any energy or motivation to clean. But this has given me hope and motivation to get up and clean. Thank you again!
Thank you Laura. I see so much of myself when I hear your struggles with A&D. For many years after my brother died, I went through all the details of his death each year. He was killed 5 days after Christmas. It is still very hard after all these years. 😢
My prayers for you and you family as you celebrate this season of love. Merry Christmas. 💞🎄🌟✝️
Thank you! I love how you keep saying come and get up and clean with me! You can do it! You're doing positive things.
I heard the term "seasonal depression" the other day, and I'm like 😲 Is that a thing!? Is that me!? Holidays are so hard, especially this year. Missing my momma always, then last year I lost my grandparents. I've just been so tired, and not wanting to do all the fun things, even though I LOVE Christmas. Just taking it day by day and doing my best, trying to make it fun for the kids. I'm happy... But I'm so exhausted. 😕 Thank you for sharing this. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas, my beautiful friend! Sending prayers and hugs!💜
Thank you for your videos I’m dealing with depression and anxiety my brother had passed thanksgiving day and then my beloved rabbit passed away last month my motivation has gone to zero some days it’s OK other days it’s harder I just started watching your videos and I started feeling better and getting motivated thank you for letting others know that we’re not alone and thank you for giving me the motivation that it’s OK to feel what we feel I just get up and get motivated to clean thank you for your videos
THANK YOU for this! This is real life and I fight anxiety and depression as well and I so appreciate this! God bless you have a wonderful Christmas
You are not alone.🙏✝️🤎🎄
Keep doing what you're doing. It's so important to talk about this and show what depression and anxiety can look like realistically. No one should feel ashamed and thank you for battling the stigma 💗
I’ve been watching this on and off all day. Thank you for everything you do! You’ve really helped me put my eyes on the Lord this Christmas Eve.
Stay strong. U are amazing and beautiful and I will pray for u and ask the lord to bring u more strength 💪 to love life again ❤
Love you, and the love I feel from you! Thank you!!! 💗💗💗
When I repacked my ornaments, I donated everything that didn't make it on the tree. I have a friend that literally wraps her tree with ornaments with industrial cling wrap and pushes into a closet. Genius! She just pulls it out and unwraps it and PRESTO, instantly done.
By some miracle after I watched you the other day I got up off the couch and got my shit together. I’m done as far as I’m doing. I lost a sweet cousin yesterday, I’m trying not to let that put me down. And the brothers I lost years ago weigh my heart down, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Do hopefully I’ll keep going. I appreciate you. ❤️🎄
I am so happy to hear I got you up and moving! That's always the hardest part. Also, sending big hugs and prayers for your loss. Losing loved ones just sucks! It's the hardest part of living this life! May her soul rest in peace.🙏🏻 And your brothers. I couldn't imagine losing a sibling. Why does this life have to be so damn hard! Stay Mighty Kathy! We are all in this shit together💪🏻🤎🙏🏻🦋!
" The more we remain stagnant the more we lose the battle!!"
My prayers are with you.
Thank you so much. I don’t have anybody to come help me clean since my kiddos are sick and your words are the support and encouragement that I needed. ❤
I need this today ❤️ God bless you Mighty Mama! I'm gonna watch you as I clean
I highly recommend letting your kids decide what to give away. And this will also teach them good habits for when they are older 👍🏼 parents always want to be in control I’ve noticed sometimes we gotta let go and teach our kids early on responsibility and decision making it will also help you in the end!
And you can give them two trash bags and say these needs to be filled so you have to pick your favorite toys guys. And also when it comes to gifts this why we have kids write lists keep it simple for family and friends. And tell grandparents here’s what he wants I want to stick with that because I’m getting rid of stuff and whatever else. Don’t be afraid to set those boundaries girl ! This was a fantastic video! Keep it up can’t wait to see you continue posting !
Thank you so much for this inspiring video. I also have bad depression and needed to watch this while I get the strength to sort my house out ❤️
Totally understand that feeling. I have lost my mom, my dad, my best friend, and was just diagnosed with a brain tumor.
(Benign, but pressing on optic nerve so my vision is terrible!) I hope your depression begins to lighten. It does overwhelm you.
Thank you for this video and helping to motivate us. 🙏✌️❤️
I just want to say thank you!!! You help this momma so so much. Keep doing what your doing. It's so nice to know there is others out there just like me who struggle.
I randomly came across this video and I have a 2 yo and I'm pregnant with my second baby and I told my husband last night I just feel so overwhelmed and for the past week it's hard to even get out of bed and so this has really helped me today because of everything i been dealing with thank n u for keeping this so real
Thank you I needed this. My depression is so high right now… I’m gonna get of my butt and begin a deep spring cleaning ❤
Only downside is my body needs rest after every 15 minutes to 30 minutes for 5 minutes at minimum. And then getting back up is always my problem. If I don’t rest I can’t do anything for up to 4 days after a full day of cleaning
i hope things have improved for you.
33 weeks pregnant and feeling so guilty for not having the motivation to get my home ready for my daughter. This video has been helping a ton, thank you so much!
Hi , only found your channel and have been binge watching all your videos. You are truly amazing. You really do help I live in Adelaide Australia and I have 6 children and my partner has 6 children and 3 grandchildren between us ( thank goodness most are adults) I have been suffering for a long time and this helps so much 😊 I’m so sorry about your mum and I’m sure she is smiling down at you for the help you are giving everyone 😊❤️
I appreciate you doing this. I wish I would have found this before Christmas. I could have used this motivation. I just want to say one thing to you that might make you feel better and help you with the work load: cut the amount of toys you have in half. They don't need that many and they don't play with all of those. You're making more work for yourself than you need to. My boys are 12 and 16 now so we no longer have toys, but I can tell you that I had day when I snapped about 9 or so years ago. I bought them both a smallish tote and told them they could have whatever fit in the tote. Surprisingly, they were fine with it. They picked what they wanted and they helped me donate the rest and that was it. It was life changing.
I just have to say.. I have been struggling with my anxiety and depression lately and I 100% planned on watching this while sitting in bed.. but when you said GET UP.. I immediately felt the urge and motivation to clean. So thank you. 🥺 You just gained a lifetime follower. ❤
Thank youuuuu!Im not a mother nor father (im 15)but my mother passed away few months ago and im having a bad time cleaning cooking etc.I always feel unmotivated whenever I go home from school and seeing the house untidy and because of this video it really help me to clean and feel motivated everyday.Thanks again!
Yes! Ive been trying to declutter as well leading up to the Holidays! We are so greatful for all the love our friends and family shower our child with but it definitely gets overwhelming. I totally agree, gift giving is so dumb. Like adult to adult I dont need a gift from anyone and its just expensive and not necessary. Id rather just have it be about family, and creating memories.Good Food, Good Company and Good Laughs.
I so love watching and just listening to you talk as I attempt to clean because it helps me with my depression of seeing too much clutter that I'm a hoarder. I'm ready to start selling and getting things out. Not a momma just depression after the loss of my parents.
You are amazing. I had 4 kids and I know how fast it all gets out of hand. But if I left all the cleanup and food shopping until 2 days before Xmas, I would not be able to cope. My sister can do that, but I start preparing weeks ahead of time. Right now I am doing some crazy minimizing, and it is so great to be free of so much stuff that I cherished in the past, but am no longer interested in it. PS. I have depression, too. It is genetic, and I had a really bad childhood. But I see a doctor for it and take meds, so it is under control. I feel so much better now that I am able to keep things tidy on a daily basis, and don't let it all get trashed. I was surprised how much some of these little things bothered me. For example, my husband has a basket on our dresser that he throws EVERYTHING into. He considers that "put away." I hate that mess. So I gave him a cute box with a flip lid. Now I cannot see his junk and it does not make me feel like my bedroom is a mess. It was a nice compromise.
Growing up my mom had a really hard time keeping the house clean due to chronic fatigue and depression. I grew up in a pretty messy and filthy household. I’ve carried on those habits in my own house. I fall into a nasty depression which results in my home getting just as filthy and messy. Right now I’m doing a deep cleaning and I’m going one room at a time. This has helped a lot. Thank you so much!
Hello from Honduras!! Love your videos. You gave me the energy to finish decorating. Never had I taken so long, but this year I feel I’m over the big tree. I went pretty organic and minimal. We raised our children giving them a few gifts 2 or 3. That’s the way we do it down here. Nothing like going crazy. What matters is the memories. My mom also passed away and it’s hard,. It’s ok to feel depressed at some point, but I also enjoy the season.
I absolutely love this video, especially when you spoke of the true meaning of Christmas. I’ve been feeling the same way recently, trying to get away from all the gift-giving and focus more on the celebration of Jesus’ birth. I’m watching in May, and feeling motivated to go wash my face and get started cleaning my space. God bless you, Mighty Mama. Praying with you that God heals our anxiety and depression! 🧡
So glad you got this out. Praying for you to get through this time. You are so strong.
I’m no mom, in fact I’m a college student with depression and anxiety, but this has really helped me! I need to work in a clean space to focus so I think today will be spent cleaning because of you ☺️
Thank you for this video! I just found it late night in May while searching for for cleaning motivation. I work overnight and I usually stay up on my nights off. It's so lonely and hard to get up and clean at night when everyone else is sleeping. Your voice and Christmas music kept me company while I made some progress tonight!❤️💚❤️💚
Seeing this month's later... just want to say all of you Mamas are amazing! I don't have kids and can barely hold it together myself. Hang in there. This platform helps my anxiety just knowing others have similar situation. 💜🙏🦋
I'm not exactly a mom, but This is my first Christmas without my mom and I'm only 20, I'm also dealing with OCD and Depression and anxiety. I lost my mom in April of this year. Thank you for your videos I need help💖
This video came up after a search on how to clean my house with depression. I lost my mom this July and this is my first Christmas without her. Thank you so much for this it brought me to tears and I will have this on when I get home to clean.
I know this is a Christmas video but honestly watching you clean and listening to the things you were saying was so helpful to me tonight. I didn't know cleaning motivation videos were a thing and I'm so glad I found you today. I needed help.
I just started a class called grief share. It is really helping me. They have classes everywhere. You can find locations on their website. I am learning some of my depression is b/c I have tried to stuff the grief feeling. You have a community of people there too. Praying for you. Great job cleaning!
Thank you Crystal!🤎🙏✝️
@@MightyMama Yw 💕🙏
Kudos to you for helping others in your struggles.This is so realistic and I can relate. Depression sucks the life out of me.
What sucks so much a decluttered home can help you so much when you feel depressed but depression won't even allow you to get to begin & it's just a vicous cycle. This helped me get started, I just started free styling, and the music helped, and also a few other pointers mentioned . Thankyou .
I love the music choices for this video! It really makes you get in the mood to not only clean and Declutter but also get ready for the upcoming holiday. Thank you for sharing your struggles and accomplishments! Hope you had a merry Christmas and happy new year!
🙏🤎✝️💪
Definetly have found myself overwhelmed with toys! I was starting to dread birthdays and christmas because I had nowhere to put everything my kids got. I am finally learning that they would rather get an experience as a gift than a thing. So I find out what they are interested in and give them "vouchers" for activities that we wouldn't normally get to do. It's been so peaceful and the last 2 birthdays in our house I've actually gotten to enjoy the celebration!
