I just got diagnosed with ADD and autism. It’s a whirlwind of self discovery. My whole life up until now makes perfect sense finally. Are you both, if you don’t mind my asking?
I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD for over 10 years. I’m going in for my official autism evaluation on Monday (although I’ve suspected for years and my therapist thinks so too)!
@@UBERTAMMY Practically every person who thinks and acts differently than the cogs society expects us to be gets diagnosed with autism these days. Seems a little too convenient if you ask me. Maybe it's the people who act like robots that should be diagnosed with something.
Autism and ADHD are two completely different things things, some consider that if you have adhd you are on the spectrum because they do have overlapping symptoms, but others believe you can not be both. With current definitions, everyone in the entire world sits somewhere on the spectrum, yet only 6.3% of people have adhd, and 5% of those dont know they have it, so I would say that no they are co.pletely separate and can not be both, and if it was it would be so hard to tell as they share symptoms
I usually find body doubling videos to be ineffective, but this one is some sort of miracle. I had a number of chores to do, and this helped me get them done in a timely manner and even scrub my kitchen sink!! I'll definitely be coming back to this video. All my fellow struggling neurodivergent folks take care **finger guns**
I think that the biggest issue Garret is facing is not having enough storage. If he for example got a shelf for his bedroom where he'd display all of his action figures, then it's (a little bit) more likely that when he gets a new action figure, it'll go straight to its dedicated space rather than end up on the nightstand. A really easy way to store things in their cathegories is by buying one of those IKEA shelves with the squares, get the little boxes for them and have each box for a specific cathegory. Garret likes to keep things from his childhood, so one of the boxes could be for that. One for extra electrical stuff, etc. But as Garrett has a lot of things that he thinks are cool and worth a display, he definitely lacks shelves and space to display them on.
Garrett, from one maximalist on the spectrum to another, I have a serious tip for you: FLOATING SHELVES and BOOKSHELVES. Just load up your walls with floating shelves and stick some bookshelves underneath, and BOOM: organized chaos. I have like 8 themed bookshelves and 4 themed floating shelves, and it helps SO MUCH with keeping the floor clean and keeping my room looking cute. You could really benefit from trying it!! Trust me it's so fun organizing each shelf with its own little theme!!
floating bookshelves are the best! esp for organizing things i need to remember! if my dogs flea& tick treat werent visible on a shelf, i wouldnt remember to give it to them, even with paper& electronic reminders!
Oh this is brilliant advice! My life got so much easier when I installed shelves because a room never really looks clean with piles of books on the floor 😭
@@vawkwardbatfr, being able to watch a movie all the way through would be impressive for me. That’s why I like going to the movie theater bc there’s no pause button
Garrett, I deal with this exact same issue. Rather than ADHD preventing my cleaning, it's depression. Today I was able to fold clean laundry and put it into my drawers. Proud of you ❤❤❤
I had something similar not long ago. My aunty passed away 2 months ago and on the 10th of may I had to put my cat down who was literally my whole world. I walked into my bedroom 2 days ago and just sat on the floor and cried silently so my sister didn't hear me. But she's my guardian angel here on earth and she turned up and sat on the floor and cried with me. We go through cleaning and tidying my room because it was chaos. And 2 nights ago, I had a really good sleep for the first time in well over a year. My apologies for trauma dumping in this comment section I'm just a bit sad and have shut myself off from everyone and find it so much easier to talk to strangers in a relatively safe space. Okay sorry I'll shut up now. Thanks for listening if you got this far.
Garrett’s laugh burns brighter than that of a thousand suns. Combine that with unexpected visits from “snarky coffee/wine girl,” and the universe is in perfect balance.
I actually want to thank you for these videos. They make me feel so much less alone in my ADHD. Today, my mom watched with me and it actually opened up a conversation where it helped her accept my diagnosis a lot more. ❤ Room's looking good. 👌🏼
My executive dysfunction's really been kicking me in the butt lately and seeing your room like that was not only SUPER validating, but I'm happy to say I have the motivation now to clean up my room while watching you lose your mind over your little guys. Thanks Garrett!
Same here!! My house looks way worse than Garrett’s room & it makes me feel so validated & motivated to see the realness & knowing I’m not alone in the struggle because idk anyone in real life who has any problems with it :/
The Garrett Cleaning My Home videos are like the Bobs Burgers Thanksgiving episodes. I can always count on them to make my day…and to make me mildly concerned.
I missed the sassy lady who drinks coffee. I’m glad to see her back. Great job with your room Garrett❤️ I have the kind of ADHD that’s VERY organized and I’m OCD personality oriented , love seeing people re-organize and clean
As someone with adhd this is very accurate. Between the boxes of crap, the close pile under the cubicles with maybe a blanket (I too own WAY to many blankets) the falling asleep in weird spots, the checklist and being distracted by EVERYTHING I find. I’m proud of you it looks great!
"My brain doesn't come home and go time to unpack and put things where they go cuz things don't go where they go." The most relatable sentence I've ever heard
I struggle with laundry everywhere too but SPECIFICALLY my book collection and candle collection (bad combo). before i got a full tall bookshelf, i put my books on a three-tier cart (like the ones you put in your bathroom), on the floor, in a box, just so many books. and i can't get rid of them because they're like dear friends to me, i know i read them already but they're precious. i think i'll get another bookshelf in the future, my dream is to have a whole room dedicated to my personal library. anyway, my autism makes me behave like a dragon that needs to collect things. i'm getting interested in legos, it will be a problem. also unrelated but i would 10000% follow a garrett gaming channel or livestream, i love love video games too
That dragon analogy you made is so wonderful 🥲 that’s really cool that you said that. Thank you so much. I’ve always wanted to start like a gaming thing! I’m a huge Gaymer. I just never talk about it on UA-cam.
@@garrettunhinged DO IT DO ITTTT ! no pressure, i just love your personality and it's so nice to watch someone struggle the way i struggle AND be interested in the things I'M interested in. maybe I want to share the mad max experience TOO OKAY ? ?? thank u for your videos and response, always so much fun
no no you absolutely DO deserve to play mad max after all of that. as a fellow person with adhd, the all or nothing mentality is so real. I'd have been overwhelmed by the clothes too. honestly the fact that you were still able to contain them to trash bags and shut the door of your closet is a HUGE win. especially after spending SEVERAL hours on the rest of your room, and then attempting to tackle it at 4am. an adhd cleaning spree like that will make you feel sluggish and exhausted for days later, and I've had so many people tell me to just pace myself and slow down with it but the sad reality is that my brain just doesn't work that way and keeping my room at a maintainable standard is something I spend SO much energy trying to do because when I start cleaning I don't want to stop until everything sparkles. I know the shame of "well I kind of cheated in this way..." but as far as I can tell you still absolutely took care of the most pressing issue. the sorting and coming up with a system can happen later, and you could always do another video on that! I know you presented that as a joke, but in case you (or others watching) feel real guilt or shame about marking something complete when you took a "shortcut", you shouldn't. You took a real big step toward getting it done and at least out of the way (which was probably distressing to even face). And frankly even if you hadn't, and you'd just fallen asleep instead of touching the pile of clothes -- you still did SO MUCH WORK and deserve rest!! Anyway, this is just my two cents as someone who struggles very similarly to you. I've just been working overtime for years now to rewire my brain a bit and hopefully help lessen the guilt and shame of it all because any progress still counts as progress and should be celebrated. (And also thanks for showing this kind of thing on the internet too because so many cleaning videos will show the smallest amount of clutter and act so embarrassed about it and it takes 5 minutes to make it sparkle and then it can make people like me feel so much more ashamed about the way I exist) ok I love your videos bye
You make feel a lot better about my messiness. The internet can make me feel like an actual gremlin because of how untidy my room can be, I struggle with depression and get overwhelmed very easily, so thank you for sharing this, Garrett ♡ makes me feel more human!
I'm so sorry to hear you've been struggling, just know you're not alone and you are not less human because of it! If you want some practical advice, I highly recommend thrifting (or straight up buying) bookshelves or floating shelves. It keeps your mess off of the floor, and it incentivizes you to organize the things you put *on* those shelves. This method took my room from a hoarding nest to an organized chaos that I simply love to look at! If you can't afford any shelving at the moment, that's okay! There are still a couple of things you can turn into habits. 1) Before you leave your room to get something, take 2 things out (one for each hand). This can help you clean up trash, dishes, or general misplaced clutter. Think of it as efficiency in emptying your space, NOT as cleaning. 2) If you do decide to clean, always start with trash first. Just find anything you can throw away and get rid of it. Once you get the trash done, go clothes second. You don't have to fold them or be neat about it, just move your clothes into one spot (pile if you have to) and get that out of the way. THEN you start with the littler things, like one box or corner at a time. If that still doesn't help, I recommend you watch the channel Midwest Magic Cleaning. The guy who runs that channel is proudly autistic and he uses his love of cleaning to clean other people's homes for free, and he especially loves to help hoarders in a respectful and empathetic way. You could really learn a lot about self-kindness from him, as even he understands how it feels to sometimes get overwhelmed and messy. I think you would really love him. Best of luck to you
@@nomoretwitterhandlesdo you have any advice for hoarding tendencies and not knowing what to do with certain items? I struggle with getting rid of things and my room is already so small as it is
garrett i've never related so much to a video, from the backpack obsession to all the figures and piles of thrifted clothes and getting completely invested in a different project than you'd set out to achieve. thank you for being so willing to share your adhd struggle and you should be SO proud of this bedroom transformation!!! i can't wait to see what you do with all that wallspace i LOVE decorating my walls more than anything
i have literally spent this week slowly starting to sort out my living space bit by bit because i am JUST LIKE THIS. seeing this has made me feel so much less ashamed of my messy tendencies knowing im not alone in it. so proud garrett, you got this !!
Thank you for this Garrett 🙏🏼 I always appreciate you doing these videos! They make me feel so much less alone. The struggle is reeeaaal 😩 you’re an icon ilysm 😘
Amazing job garrett!!! Only he can make cleaning a room so entertaining. Garrett, you bring so much joy to our lives, please never change ❤❤❤ love you!
AuDHD here, I find that disconnecting from technology is very helpful while trying to clean. Put on something boring/understimulating and then leave your phone. Maybe a podcast, lofi music, a video essay, something you won't need to check back up on. Turn on DND and silent mode, then let your hands get busy once your brain gets bored. Also the "make a big pile and pick it apart" method
Omg the “asking the internet how to clean” is so relatable 😂 Growing up, anytime I cleaned my room, I would google “how to clean my room” and follow the steps from wiki how. Something about having the steps listed out just made it SO much easier to start the process
I have a chart that I found years ago saved to my camera roll. It’s specifically for overwhelming messes, I saved it bc most of the lists and charts are just what you do daily, weekly, and monthly.
i've been needing to clean my room for like over a year now bc i'm severely depressed and this made me get up and clean with you :) it's not immaculate but way better than it was. thanks garrett love u!!!
I feel so seen 😭 I’m slightly more inspired now to tackle the mess in my kitchen, which includes an ungodly amount of cardboard boxes from deliveries I’ve gotten over the last several months. Your checklist that included the reward at the end is something I’ll try for that. I’m also time blind, I hear you 👏🏻 we got this Garrett, and all my fellow NDs. One day at a time. ❤
Garrett! We’re happy to be your adhd mirroring buds! Super proud of you. I read a book called “how to keep house when you’re drowning” and it’s been very helpful as a fellow adhd brained human. Basically splitting the cleaning into smaller categories like trash, dishes, things that have a place, things that don’t have a place. Of course, whatever works best for you is ultimately what’s best.
Dude, i have so much respect for you because you show this side that not a lot of people see about like having mental illnesses. i have had my bedroom be so much worse than this so thank you for sharing. Im so so proud of you Garrett!!
Ahhh behold, my annual de-hoarding reminder video from Garrett… Thank you! Those of us with ADHD/on the spectrum know the struggle is real. Love you, Garrett! ❤
I highly relate to the issues you go through with cleaning and hoarding and all that jazz. So seeing you clean your room motivated me to join in and help work on my own. So just thank you for being so open with these kinds of issues, all the while just being a fantastic and entertaining person. I wish you luck in your own journey in getting better with your cleaning journey.
Imagine staying at Garrett's in a pile of blankets after checking out all his cool gadgets, action figures and telling ghost stories! He'd be the best host!
this makes me feel so much better about my room and about cleaning it . i relate to garrett so much and it’s part of the reason i love his content so much . celebrities and influencers constantly say “i’m a human too!” yet garrett is the only one i actually feel is human like the rest of us .
These videos actually really help me. I like to tidy alongside videos like this but a lot of cleaning videos online the space they are cleaning is already so tidy and it ends up discouraging me. Videos like this help me realise I’m not alone, so thank you :)
I have to help my partner clean his place once a year. I get it cleared. You can see the floor then within weeks the floor starts getting covered again. I thought he was being disrespectful to me at first & I used to get frustrated but he would get upset & couldn't help it. Hes not lazy as he runs his own business & hes working constantly. Since looking after my dad full time with a progressive brain disease, I too have started to leave stuff in my bedroom & things stay in place for over a week. Yet my dad's room is clean & spick & span . I cant help it. Love how you are & who you are. You are a breath of fresh air ❤
Garrett! i know you won’t see this but this video came out as i’ve been putting off cleaning my massive depression room. i put this on and cleaned for the first time in months. thank you dude
My bestie has ADHD, is a brilliant scientist, absolutely loves her treasures, and has a very hard time keeping her space organized. I’ll tell you what I tell her: I support your trash panda ways. Don’t get mold poisoning. 💜
I watched this and now I feel like today is finally the day to sort out my spare bedroom full of clothes I should have put away a long time ago. Thank you Garrett!
i was already taking care of cleaning my disaster space when i got distracted and got on youtube. this vid popped up just in time. not only is garrett comfy background noise, this is such good content to clean to! also, i love and hate how much i relate to garrett when it comes to how my living space is. it's so nice to see someone being real about this so i don't feel so alone and awful. thank you for showing us this part of your life, man.
The realness of looking at my room/space and going “oh I need to clean that” and then cleaning until 4am because I end up finding a workbook from high school or something I thought I lost and going back through all the fun memories Also love the motivational treat at the end
Hi Garrett! I just wanted to say that ADHD is something that I struggle with a lot, especially lately, and I beat myself up over having it often- but watching your videos honestly is incredibly comforting and helps me come to terms with it being a normal thing that is just part of who I am! Thank you so much for proving that happiness :)
You couldn't have posted this at a more perfect time 😭🙏, Garrett I've literally been deep cleaning my room for two weeks and I'm telling you my room has always looked like yours and i get so embarrassed and ashamed of it all the time, thank you for making me feel less alone and giving me the courage to tackle my anxieties about my room, you're loved and appreciated 🫶💖
Ok. I got 2 tips for the clothes. 1- have two laundry baskets, one for clean clothes one for dirty. Get ‘em in different colors. Clean basket’s empty? Time to do laundry 2- for the sheer amount of clothes, especially when they’ve been sitting on the ground a while…I wash the whole pile. Clean, dirty, who knows who cares. EVERYTHING. Will it take multiple loads? Multiple days? Probably. But as each load comes out of the dryer, I’ll have what I call a “fashion show” Basically I take each piece out and try it on. Does it fit and do I still like it? Immediately folded and put into drawer. Don’t like it, or doesn’t fit? Into the Goodwill doom pile in my living room. I make it a game…”how many clothes can I fold before this show/podcast/song ends?”
finding this while having literally no motivation to clean my dorm is such a godsend. It’s the worst it’s ever been but having you Sir Garrett in the background ALSO struggling and cleaning is the most helpful and funny thing ever
I have been trying to get my room organized and my glasses situation figured out for no joke-YEARS. I have made many attempts 😭 I’m not giving up though!! Thanks for the extra motivation Garrett!
This makes me feel a bit better about my chaotic depression room lol. I had a VERY toxic job and it took a huge toll on my mental health, I literally had no energy left to clean my room very often, only the basic like dishes and garbage. Thankfully now I have a much better job and I am starting to feel like me again :) thank you for being so vulnerable and open with us Garrett!
Thank you for posting this 😭 As someone who also struggles with time blindness, avoidance, etc due to ADHD, it’s so reassuring to see the positivity and fun that can be had at the same time 🤍 what a wonderful reminder, because sometimes it gets really difficult. I’ve never been able to relate to a video more! Except where you obsess over backpacks, I obsess over pet tarantulas and scorpions 😅
the genuine thanks i have to give to you for sharing this as someone who cannot bring any ounce of energy to clean my room, i feel so much less shame. thank you
I’ve lived everyday of my life with constant shame of being messy and unorganized, and now, feeling like I can’t be a proper adult because of the messy environment I can’t seem to control, and then I was diagnosed with adhd and now I’m more patient with myself. Thank you for being transparent Garrett!!!
It's insane to me how much I identify with the way your mind thinks and how unimaginable that is to non-neurodivergent folks. My husband is natural state is unbothered and calm and looks at me fearful confusion often when I am having a breakdown or can't complete a simple task due to distraction or frustration. Love you Garrett and I miss you Benjamin!
You have no idea how much joy and relatability you bring into my anxiety filled life I too struggle with keeping my space clean and organized and it makes me feel so much better to know I’m not alone in that 😭
Love everything about you!!! I just overhauled my 2 story house. I had piles everywhere just like you. What fixed things for me was baskets, reusing Apple boxes in drawers, etc. Categorize everything. Everything has a home. I know this might be hard but I finally let go of crap I was never going to use to reclaim my house. Good luck G-Man!
You know what I noticed helps me with cleaning. I’ll let my room get out of control. I look at it get overwhelmed and just crawl back into bed and say screw it BUT if I set a timer for 15mins clean then when the alarm goes off I stop for 5 mins and relax. Rinse and repeat then everything will get done. Don’t overwhelm yourself. A little at a time and before you know it you’re back to having a clean sanctuary. Now I need to listen to my advice bc my room, she’s a mess 😬
Garrett!! I have legit advice for adhd cleaning! (And keep in mind I know this is for a video but if you ever want to clean up real real thoroughly.) Okay SO you have to work with your brain and not against it. Adhd craves “finishing” a task so instead of doing the small or easy thing, do whatever you can do that you can 100% finish and then the success will carry you to the next task! Oh and also locking yourself in a room and using boxes to “sort” stuff that belongs out of the room helps keep you focused since you won’t have to leave the room to put the thing away! Hope that helps! It definitely helps me 😅 love your videos dude, keep being a sweet boy Also ps WHERE DID OUR SWEET BOY PODCAST GO??! GARRETT!!
For your windows: I HIGHLY recommend getting cling film for the glass so you have more privacy. It makes it look like frosted glass, or you can get like prism/rainbow textured film. I love that it makes rainbows on my walls when the sun is in the right position.
This video was soooo satisfying. It was the perfect mix of chaotic thoughts and laughing and weird items. Like you’re constant manic laughing, and then a dead serious face after was just perfect. 😭😭
Seeing this just made me feel so much better about myself. I would break down just looking at my room because I was so ashamed. And my family would make it worse cause they thought it was due to laziness. But this just motivated me to clean mine. Thank you Garrett 🥹❤️
I relate to you so much Garrett, I too have an emotional attachment to all my backpacks, enjoy leaving their contents inside for memory purposes, collect blankets, and have so many clothes but only wear the same seven outfits
Garrett, you make me feel a lot less alone in some of my hardships. I've been thinking about renting a storage shed for some things because I simply do not have space anymore and as a disabled person, I feel so overwhelmed. I downloaded the Finch App because it's so cute and helps with keeping tasks small and easily accomplished. It's helping me some. It's very brave of you to post these things and it helps others. Thank you so much for being you. It's great in every way. Be proud of yourself, even if you didnt get it all done. You got a lot accomplished. I'm so impressed. PS. Puppet History is my favorite Watcher show
i’ve been stuck in my bedroom hovel (very messy oops) for the past few weeks eating cheese&pickle sandwiches, playing pokémon and rewatching Adventure Time🤠🤠 buttttttt I finally tidied my room whilst watching this video and it felt HELLA good to imagine that I’m not alone through it, thanks lovely Garrett 🫶(hoorah!!!)
This inspires me to clean up my mess, too. My problem is emotional contamination ocd so I get stuck because of anxiety and memories rather than distraction, but seeing you tackle your space makes me wanna do it too!
PROUD OF YOU! Everytime the floor is clean is when I feel best. I know I can breathe better when the ground is clear! I love to be able to see my fun collectables and plants so I TRY to keep my environment tidy, but it always gets undone. I try to use Sunday as my day to put things away. It helps to have that "routine"
Omg Garrett YESSSS you should totally become a voice actor!!! That would be so perfect for you ❤ also I have ADHD so this was basically just like watching myself for 30 minutes straight 😂
Garrett, I'm right there with you. My laundry is atrocious and this helps me feel less alone with my laundry piling up. Thank you for being vulnerable about this stuff. It's not easy, but it's so nice to be able to know you're not alone in these kinds of battles.
hi garrett! i just moved into my first apartment at beginning of april and i still have several boxes to unpack and stuff to organize that i’ve been putting off, but it helps to know we aren’t alone in our cleaning and organizing struggles!! :)
This was a very relatable video for us with ADHD, everything you did made me think “this man makes sense.” Also “I want to start journaling” Famous Last ADHD words
I used to have a junk cupboard. Then it became a junk drawer. Now, my "tat" collection is used as art piece type things on my bookcase. On display, makes me feel good.
Your first video made me feel so seen about keeping little, but many, things and I felt inspired to get my room together too. Maybe this one is a sign to do it again 🙏💕
i'm a student with adhd and i'm working part-time so my room is a state constantly -- especially since i have a persistent and never ending need to buy MOOREEE clothes. i just watched this while tidying my room and it was like we were discovering random shit together which was awesome so cheers for helping me tidy my room. it definitely still needs to be hoovered and dont even ask me about my washing pile. love u long time garrett!
Watching you live life is just so validating thank you so much for being here with us!! I struggle so bad with clothes and laundry (actually washing it) it just takes too long and I feel like I can’t wait do anything till it’s done because I’m scared the clothes in the washer will sit too long and smell ( I have done this on many occasions. Days in the washer). And forget me being functional if I don’t take my meds.
Just make sure to unload the washer before the end of the day and it should be fine ❤ they don't smell after just a few hours. I instated a rule for myself that the washer must be unloaded at any time as long as it's before bedtime. That's simple enough that it seems to work for me.
The ADHD/autism to hoarding pipeline is so real and so hard to break free from. I’m proud of you!
I just got diagnosed with ADD and autism. It’s a whirlwind of self discovery. My whole life up until now makes perfect sense finally. Are you both, if you don’t mind my asking?

As an adult with ADHD, I totally agree! Going through a similar cleanup.
Autism and ADHD are two completely different things things, some consider that if you have adhd you are on the spectrum because they do have overlapping symptoms, but others believe you can not be both.

Not even 10 seconds in and I'm already dying at you lunging 'The Professor' into hyperspace.
"MOVE IT BUD!"
Wondering if that was purposeful giving the current situation 😅
The Professor has been through too much!
nope he talks about them positively; they’re his irl friends! and he was involved with puppet history
😂😂😂😂 i was going to write the same thing 😂😂😂😂
I usually find body doubling videos to be ineffective, but this one is some sort of miracle. I had a number of chores to do, and this helped me get them done in a timely manner and even scrub my kitchen sink!! I'll definitely be coming back to this video.

I use twitch streams as a body doubling substitute
I think that the biggest issue Garret is facing is not having enough storage. If he for example got a shelf for his bedroom where he'd display all of his action figures, then it's (a little bit) more likely that when he gets a new action figure, it'll go straight to its dedicated space rather than end up on the nightstand.

Garret likes to keep things from his childhood, so one of the boxes could be for that.

Garrett, from one maximalist on the spectrum to another, I have a serious tip for you: FLOATING SHELVES and BOOKSHELVES. Just load up your walls with floating shelves and stick some bookshelves underneath, and BOOM: organized chaos. I have like 8 themed bookshelves and 4 themed floating shelves, and it helps SO MUCH with keeping the floor clean and keeping my room looking cute. You could really benefit from trying it!! Trust me it's so fun organizing each shelf with its own little theme!!
floating bookshelves are the best! esp for organizing things i need to remember! if my dogs flea& tick treat werent visible on a shelf, i wouldnt remember to give it to them, even with paper& electronic reminders!
Oh this is brilliant advice! My life got so much easier when I installed shelves because a room never really looks clean with piles of books on the floor 😭
I think this tip would fit Garrett extremely well. I hope he sees it and glad you found a good system for you!!
THIS!!! my college dorm room is exactly like this!!
Great idea
The level of self-control it takes to walk away from a movie mid watch is seriously impressive.
Easy with adhd xD at least for me! I'll forget I was watching anything too lool
I will watch a movie, think of something, alt+tab for a few hours and then be like oh yeah right the movie XD
@@Shadarinn oh ye on computer it's wayyy worse. The distraction is real.
@@vawkwardbatfr, being able to watch a movie all the way through would be impressive for me. That’s why I like going to the movie theater bc there’s no pause button

Garrett, I deal with this exact same issue. Rather than ADHD preventing my cleaning, it's depression. Today I was able to fold clean laundry and put it into my drawers. Proud of you ❤❤❤
I'm proud of YOU ❤
I'm proud of ye all❤
Garrett having to do a massive clean once a year is actually so relatable
And pretty normal.
I had something similar not long ago. My aunty passed away 2 months ago and on the 10th of may I had to put my cat down who was literally my whole world. I walked into my bedroom 2 days ago and just sat on the floor and cried silently so my sister didn't hear me. But she's my guardian angel here on earth and she turned up and sat on the floor and cried with me. We go through cleaning and tidying my room because it was chaos. And 2 nights ago, I had a really good sleep for the first time in well over a year. My apologies for trauma dumping in this comment section I'm just a bit sad and have shut myself off from everyone and find it so much easier to talk to strangers in a relatively safe space. Okay sorry I'll shut up now. Thanks for listening if you got this far.
Garrett can I just say I’m so proud of you for posting so often this year !!
He's been killing it this year 👏
Garret im so proud of you! Also my fav thing in my room is a sign Muppet Movie script :)))
@byn1234 that's so cool, who's it signed by? :)
Same here! So happy for him thriving 😊
that rush of pride and excitement seeing a new vid posted! ❤️
When I get overwhelmed, I'll write out 20 tasks, and roll a 20 sided dice.
Helps break down the room, and focus on the task.
Garrett’s laugh burns brighter than that of a thousand suns. Combine that with unexpected visits from “snarky coffee/wine girl,” and the universe is in perfect balance.
So fun that Garrett loves us enough to use us as a parasocial body double! He'll be mine going ghost hunting this weekend 😂
😂😂
The idea of Garrett voice-acting has Regular Show vibes
He kinda sounds like Mordecai
Yes!!
Most iconic collab of the century would be Garrett and Marie Kondo
I actually want to thank you for these videos. They make me feel so much less alone in my ADHD. Today, my mom watched with me and it actually opened up a conversation where it helped her accept my diagnosis a lot more. ❤ Room's looking good. 👌🏼
My executive dysfunction's really been kicking me in the butt lately and seeing your room like that was not only SUPER validating, but I'm happy to say I have the motivation now to clean up my room while watching you lose your mind over your little guys. Thanks Garrett!
This is exactly what I was thinking. I'd love to share a photo of my bedroom with Garrett, he is not alone 😭😂
🫶🫶🫶 me too 😊
In the same boat guys... 😂😅
Same here!! My house looks way worse than Garrett’s room & it makes me feel so validated & motivated to see the realness & knowing I’m not alone in the struggle because idk anyone in real life who has any problems with it :/
me too! im making a chore chart/plans to clean my room this weekend because of this video!
The Garrett Cleaning My Home videos are like the Bobs Burgers Thanksgiving episodes.
I can always count on them to make my day…and to make me mildly concerned.
no fr
This is so niche, but so nice. So good.
I love Bob's Burgers 🍔 💜
That's such a specific reference but it fits so well😂😂😂
I love this comment so much it felt like a hug to read it
I missed the sassy lady who drinks coffee. I’m glad to see her back. Great job with your room Garrett❤️
I have the kind of ADHD that’s VERY organized and I’m OCD personality oriented , love seeing people re-organize and clean
As someone with adhd this is very accurate. Between the boxes of crap, the close pile under the cubicles with maybe a blanket (I too own WAY to many blankets) the falling asleep in weird spots, the checklist and being distracted by EVERYTHING I find. I’m proud of you it looks great!
"My brain doesn't come home and go time to unpack and put things where they go cuz things don't go where they go." The most relatable sentence I've ever heard
“once something gets to a space you just think it lives there” is so so real.
I struggle with laundry everywhere too but SPECIFICALLY my book collection and candle collection (bad combo). before i got a full tall bookshelf, i put my books on a three-tier cart (like the ones you put in your bathroom), on the floor, in a box, just so many books. and i can't get rid of them because they're like dear friends to me, i know i read them already but they're precious. i think i'll get another bookshelf in the future, my dream is to have a whole room dedicated to my personal library. anyway, my autism makes me behave like a dragon that needs to collect things. i'm getting interested in legos, it will be a problem. also unrelated but i would 10000% follow a garrett gaming channel or livestream, i love love video games too
That dragon analogy you made is so wonderful 🥲 that’s really cool that you said that. Thank you so much. I’ve always wanted to start like a gaming thing! I’m a huge Gaymer. I just never talk about it on UA-cam.
@@garrettunhinged DO IT DO ITTTT ! no pressure, i just love your personality and it's so nice to watch someone struggle the way i struggle AND be interested in the things I'M interested in. maybe I want to share the mad max experience TOO OKAY ? ?? thank u for your videos and response, always so much fun
no no you absolutely DO deserve to play mad max after all of that. as a fellow person with adhd, the all or nothing mentality is so real. I'd have been overwhelmed by the clothes too. honestly the fact that you were still able to contain them to trash bags and shut the door of your closet is a HUGE win. especially after spending SEVERAL hours on the rest of your room, and then attempting to tackle it at 4am. an adhd cleaning spree like that will make you feel sluggish and exhausted for days later, and I've had so many people tell me to just pace myself and slow down with it but the sad reality is that my brain just doesn't work that way and keeping my room at a maintainable standard is something I spend SO much energy trying to do because when I start cleaning I don't want to stop until everything sparkles. I know the shame of "well I kind of cheated in this way..." but as far as I can tell you still absolutely took care of the most pressing issue. the sorting and coming up with a system can happen later, and you could always do another video on that!
I know you presented that as a joke, but in case you (or others watching) feel real guilt or shame about marking something complete when you took a "shortcut", you shouldn't. You took a real big step toward getting it done and at least out of the way (which was probably distressing to even face). And frankly even if you hadn't, and you'd just fallen asleep instead of touching the pile of clothes -- you still did SO MUCH WORK and deserve rest!! Anyway, this is just my two cents as someone who struggles very similarly to you. I've just been working overtime for years now to rewire my brain a bit and hopefully help lessen the guilt and shame of it all because any progress still counts as progress and should be celebrated. (And also thanks for showing this kind of thing on the internet too because so many cleaning videos will show the smallest amount of clutter and act so embarrassed about it and it takes 5 minutes to make it sparkle and then it can make people like me feel so much more ashamed about the way I exist)
ok I love your videos bye
You make feel a lot better about my messiness. The internet can make me feel like an actual gremlin because of how untidy my room can be, I struggle with depression and get overwhelmed very easily, so thank you for sharing this, Garrett ♡ makes me feel more human!
I'm so sorry to hear you've been struggling, just know you're not alone and you are not less human because of it!
If you want some practical advice, I highly recommend thrifting (or straight up buying) bookshelves or floating shelves. It keeps your mess off of the floor, and it incentivizes you to organize the things you put *on* those shelves. This method took my room from a hoarding nest to an organized chaos that I simply love to look at!
If you can't afford any shelving at the moment, that's okay! There are still a couple of things you can turn into habits. 1) Before you leave your room to get something, take 2 things out (one for each hand). This can help you clean up trash, dishes, or general misplaced clutter. Think of it as efficiency in emptying your space, NOT as cleaning. 2) If you do decide to clean, always start with trash first. Just find anything you can throw away and get rid of it. Once you get the trash done, go clothes second. You don't have to fold them or be neat about it, just move your clothes into one spot (pile if you have to) and get that out of the way. THEN you start with the littler things, like one box or corner at a time.
If that still doesn't help, I recommend you watch the channel Midwest Magic Cleaning. The guy who runs that channel is proudly autistic and he uses his love of cleaning to clean other people's homes for free, and he especially loves to help hoarders in a respectful and empathetic way. You could really learn a lot about self-kindness from him, as even he understands how it feels to sometimes get overwhelmed and messy. I think you would really love him.
Best of luck to you
I feel you, going through the same right now, literally stayed in bed 99% of the day. It's hard but just know that you're not alone in the struggle ❤
@@nomoretwitterhandlesdo you have any advice for hoarding tendencies and not knowing what to do with certain items? I struggle with getting rid of things and my room is already so small as it is
@@LMCSM I hope today was a really good rest for you, and it's what you needed. Sending love to you
Hi, fellow gremlin. 💜
everytime garrett cleans his room i feel obligated to as well ADHD goes HARDDD
His videos actually help me get my apartment organized and clean I can’t explain it lol
garrett i've never related so much to a video, from the backpack obsession to all the figures and piles of thrifted clothes and getting completely invested in a different project than you'd set out to achieve. thank you for being so willing to share your adhd struggle and you should be SO proud of this bedroom transformation!!! i can't wait to see what you do with all that wallspace i LOVE decorating my walls more than anything
i have literally spent this week slowly starting to sort out my living space bit by bit because i am JUST LIKE THIS. seeing this has made me feel so much less ashamed of my messy tendencies knowing im not alone in it. so proud garrett, you got this !!
“that’s why he’s good for me” ❤ love the bromance you have with Andrew
my bedroom makes your bedroom look like a fresh home makeover for modelling and im not even ashamed about it.
Thank you for this Garrett 🙏🏼 I always appreciate you doing these videos! They make me feel so much less alone. The struggle is reeeaaal 😩 you’re an icon ilysm 😘
Amazing job garrett!!! Only he can make cleaning a room so entertaining. Garrett, you bring so much joy to our lives, please never change ❤❤❤ love you!
AuDHD here, I find that disconnecting from technology is very helpful while trying to clean. Put on something boring/understimulating and then leave your phone. Maybe a podcast, lofi music, a video essay, something you won't need to check back up on. Turn on DND and silent mode, then let your hands get busy once your brain gets bored.
Also the "make a big pile and pick it apart" method
If Big Pile didn’t exist, there’s a pretty good chance I would have never put away laundry even once
@@lizparylo7445 Without Big Pile, my floor would never be walkable💀
Omg the “asking the internet how to clean” is so relatable 😂 Growing up, anytime I cleaned my room, I would google “how to clean my room” and follow the steps from wiki how. Something about having the steps listed out just made it SO much easier to start the process
Omg same!!!! ❤️
I have a chart that I found years ago saved to my camera roll. It’s specifically for overwhelming messes, I saved it bc most of the lists and charts are just what you do daily, weekly, and monthly.
i've been needing to clean my room for like over a year now bc i'm severely depressed and this made me get up and clean with you :) it's not immaculate but way better than it was. thanks garrett love u!!!
I feel so seen 😭 I’m slightly more inspired now to tackle the mess in my kitchen, which includes an ungodly amount of cardboard boxes from deliveries I’ve gotten over the last several months. Your checklist that included the reward at the end is something I’ll try for that. I’m also time blind, I hear you 👏🏻 we got this Garrett, and all my fellow NDs. One day at a time. ❤
Garrett! We’re happy to be your adhd mirroring buds! Super proud of you. I read a book called “how to keep house when you’re drowning” and it’s been very helpful as a fellow adhd brained human. Basically splitting the cleaning into smaller categories like trash, dishes, things that have a place, things that don’t have a place. Of course, whatever works best for you is ultimately what’s best.
wait I’ve read that too! I still follow their five things tidying method every time I clean. that book was very validating
Honestly garret is the only creator who I'd watch doing this cause I'm always curious what stories each item will have.
Dude, i have so much respect for you because you show this side that not a lot of people see about like having mental illnesses. i have had my bedroom be so much worse than this so thank you for sharing. Im so so proud of you Garrett!!
this is very relatable, you’re always my comfort creator
garrett you are truly a masterpiece of a person. the titanic drawing & hot anime guy, the glasses situation, just you, everything. it’s perfection.
Ahhh behold, my annual de-hoarding reminder video from Garrett… Thank you! Those of us with ADHD/on the spectrum know the struggle is real. Love you, Garrett! ❤
I highly relate to the issues you go through with cleaning and hoarding and all that jazz. So seeing you clean your room motivated me to join in and help work on my own. So just thank you for being so open with these kinds of issues, all the while just being a fantastic and entertaining person. I wish you luck in your own journey in getting better with your cleaning journey.
My bedroom has inadvertently become my doom pile storage as well lol. No one here is judging, this is a safe space Garrett! ❤
Imagine staying at Garrett's in a pile of blankets after checking out all his cool gadgets, action figures and telling ghost stories! He'd be the best host!
this makes me feel so much better about my room and about cleaning it . i relate to garrett so much and it’s part of the reason i love his content so much . celebrities and influencers constantly say “i’m a human too!” yet garrett is the only one i actually feel is human like the rest of us .
These videos actually really help me. I like to tidy alongside videos like this but a lot of cleaning videos online the space they are cleaning is already so tidy and it ends up discouraging me. Videos like this help me realise I’m not alone, so thank you :)
garrett being in big top burger was definitely the BEST crossover i was giggling and squealing when i watched the first episode with mr foodtruck.
OMG WHEN WAS THIS :00???
@@diediedicehe does mr food truck in s2!! the expo is his first appearance (:
These videos always help me tackle my own junk corners around my rooms. Because if Garrett can do it, I can too!:)
It's called body doubling! It's so helpful 😄
I have to help my partner clean his place once a year. I get it cleared. You can see the floor then within weeks the floor starts getting covered again. I thought he was being disrespectful to me at first & I used to get frustrated but he would get upset & couldn't help it. Hes not lazy as he runs his own business & hes working constantly. Since looking after my dad full time with a progressive brain disease, I too have started to leave stuff in my bedroom & things stay in place for over a week. Yet my dad's room is clean & spick & span . I cant help it. Love how you are & who you are. You are a breath of fresh air ❤
I’m cleaning while listening to this and you’re just narrating my brain… thanks for making me realize I’m not alone in this struggle! ❤
Garrett! i know you won’t see this but this video came out as i’ve been putting off cleaning my massive depression room. i put this on and cleaned for the first time in months. thank you dude
My bestie has ADHD, is a brilliant scientist, absolutely loves her treasures, and has a very hard time keeping her space organized. I’ll tell you what I tell her: I support your trash panda ways. Don’t get mold poisoning. 💜
I watched this and now I feel like today is finally the day to sort out my spare bedroom full of clothes I should have put away a long time ago. Thank you Garrett!
i was already taking care of cleaning my disaster space when i got distracted and got on youtube. this vid popped up just in time. not only is garrett comfy background noise, this is such good content to clean to!
also, i love and hate how much i relate to garrett when it comes to how my living space is. it's so nice to see someone being real about this so i don't feel so alone and awful. thank you for showing us this part of your life, man.
The realness of looking at my room/space and going “oh I need to clean that” and then cleaning until 4am because I end up finding a workbook from high school or something I thought I lost and going back through all the fun memories
Also love the motivational treat at the end
Spring cleaning time, baby! ❤ For the first time in ages I'm watching one of these videoes and my room isn't a cluttered mess.
Hi Garrett! I just wanted to say that ADHD is something that I struggle with a lot, especially lately, and I beat myself up over having it often- but watching your videos honestly is incredibly comforting and helps me come to terms with it being a normal thing that is just part of who I am! Thank you so much for proving that happiness :)
You couldn't have posted this at a more perfect time 😭🙏, Garrett I've literally been deep cleaning my room for two weeks and I'm telling you my room has always looked like yours and i get so embarrassed and ashamed of it all the time, thank you for making me feel less alone and giving me the courage to tackle my anxieties about my room, you're loved and appreciated 🫶💖
Ok. I got 2 tips for the clothes.
1- have two laundry baskets, one for clean clothes one for dirty. Get ‘em in different colors. Clean basket’s empty? Time to do laundry
2- for the sheer amount of clothes, especially when they’ve been sitting on the ground a while…I wash the whole pile. Clean, dirty, who knows who cares. EVERYTHING. Will it take multiple loads? Multiple days? Probably. But as each load comes out of the dryer, I’ll have what I call a “fashion show” Basically I take each piece out and try it on. Does it fit and do I still like it? Immediately folded and put into drawer. Don’t like it, or doesn’t fit? Into the Goodwill doom pile in my living room. I make it a game…”how many clothes can I fold before this show/podcast/song ends?”
GARRETT YOU PRECIOUS LITTLE BUG DONT BE ASHAMED OF ANYTHING❤
Adorable comment ❤️
finding this while having literally no motivation to clean my dorm is such a godsend. It’s the worst it’s ever been but having you Sir Garrett in the background ALSO struggling and cleaning is the most helpful and funny thing ever
I have been trying to get my room organized and my glasses situation figured out for no joke-YEARS. I have made many attempts 😭 I’m not giving up though!! Thanks for the extra motivation Garrett!
I've trashed three and a quarter rooms and need to plan moving some day. You're not alone. Funny video.
This makes me feel a bit better about my chaotic depression room lol. I had a VERY toxic job and it took a huge toll on my mental health, I literally had no energy left to clean my room very often, only the basic like dishes and garbage. Thankfully now I have a much better job and I am starting to feel like me again :) thank you for being so vulnerable and open with us Garrett!
I desperately need to clean my room, too. this was very inspiring, and was super helpful to watch while I was folding. love you so much, Garrett!
Thank you for posting this 😭 As someone who also struggles with time blindness, avoidance, etc due to ADHD, it’s so reassuring to see the positivity and fun that can be had at the same time 🤍 what a wonderful reminder, because sometimes it gets really difficult. I’ve never been able to relate to a video more! Except where you obsess over backpacks, I obsess over pet tarantulas and scorpions 😅
I'm legitimately so proud of you Garret 🙏
Garrett absolutely killing it with uploads this year!!
the genuine thanks i have to give to you for sharing this as someone who cannot bring any ounce of energy to clean my room, i feel so much less shame. thank you
I’ve lived everyday of my life with constant shame of being messy and unorganized, and now, feeling like I can’t be a proper adult because of the messy environment I can’t seem to control, and then I was diagnosed with adhd and now I’m more patient with myself. Thank you for being transparent Garrett!!!
It's insane to me how much I identify with the way your mind thinks and how unimaginable that is to non-neurodivergent folks. My husband is natural state is unbothered and calm and looks at me fearful confusion often when I am having a breakdown or can't complete a simple task due to distraction or frustration. Love you Garrett and I miss you Benjamin!
Whenever I struggle with cleaning I try to remind myself that I deserve a clean space ❤️
garrett you are my comfort person, thank you for being genuine & funny 💛
You have no idea how much joy and relatability you bring into my anxiety filled life
I too struggle with keeping my space clean and organized and it makes me feel so much better to know I’m not alone in that 😭
Love everything about you!!! I just overhauled my 2 story house. I had piles everywhere just like you. What fixed things for me was baskets, reusing Apple boxes in drawers, etc. Categorize everything. Everything has a home. I know this might be hard but I finally let go of crap I was never going to use to reclaim my house. Good luck G-Man!
Ok. I lied a lil. I have junk in the basement BUT it’s still categorized by seasons, decor accessories, extra furniture and papers. 🙄
That’s so cool you have a house!
My bedroom looks exactly like this, I’ve been struggling. Thank you for sharing this and reminding me I am not alone 🫶🏼
You aren't alone cuz samezies and actually mine is way worse!! Wish me luck, I think I can, I think I can... lol
You know what I noticed helps me with cleaning. I’ll let my room get out of control. I look at it get overwhelmed and just crawl back into bed and say screw it BUT if I set a timer for 15mins clean then when the alarm goes off I stop for 5 mins and relax. Rinse and repeat then everything will get done. Don’t overwhelm yourself. A little at a time and before you know it you’re back to having a clean sanctuary. Now I need to listen to my advice bc my room, she’s a mess 😬
I love you for being so candid about this. I'm ashamed of my room, too. It hurts to admit.
Garrett, I can relate so hard, and you’ve made me feel so seen and now motivated to clean this awful mess I’ve been staring at for months
Thank you :)
Garrett!! I have legit advice for adhd cleaning! (And keep in mind I know this is for a video but if you ever want to clean up real real thoroughly.) Okay SO you have to work with your brain and not against it. Adhd craves “finishing” a task so instead of doing the small or easy thing, do whatever you can do that you can 100% finish and then the success will carry you to the next task! Oh and also locking yourself in a room and using boxes to “sort” stuff that belongs out of the room helps keep you focused since you won’t have to leave the room to put the thing away! Hope that helps! It definitely helps me 😅 love your videos dude, keep being a sweet boy
Also ps WHERE DID OUR SWEET BOY PODCAST GO??! GARRETT!!
For your windows: I HIGHLY recommend getting cling film for the glass so you have more privacy. It makes it look like frosted glass, or you can get like prism/rainbow textured film. I love that it makes rainbows on my walls when the sun is in the right position.
This video was soooo satisfying. It was the perfect mix of chaotic thoughts and laughing and weird items. Like you’re constant manic laughing, and then a dead serious face after was just perfect. 😭😭
Oh and you can’t forget the hot anime guys and titanic 🙂↔️(perfect combo)
Seeing this just made me feel so much better about myself. I would break down just looking at my room because I was so ashamed. And my family would make it worse cause they thought it was due to laziness. But this just motivated me to clean mine. Thank you Garrett 🥹❤️
Garrett I loved helping you clean your room in a way!!! You did so good!
Everytime I watch your videos it’s like looking at an alternative dimension version of myself and it is so comforting honestly
I relate to you so much Garrett, I too have an emotional attachment to all my backpacks, enjoy leaving their contents inside for memory purposes, collect blankets, and have so many clothes but only wear the same seven outfits
Garrett, you make me feel a lot less alone in some of my hardships. I've been thinking about renting a storage shed for some things because I simply do not have space anymore and as a disabled person, I feel so overwhelmed. I downloaded the Finch App because it's so cute and helps with keeping tasks small and easily accomplished. It's helping me some. It's very brave of you to post these things and it helps others. Thank you so much for being you. It's great in every way. Be proud of yourself, even if you didnt get it all done. You got a lot accomplished. I'm so impressed.
PS. Puppet History is my favorite Watcher show
the intro is my favorite thing ever, i just know it represents his brain so perfectly😭
i’ve been stuck in my bedroom hovel (very messy oops) for the past few weeks eating cheese&pickle sandwiches, playing pokémon and rewatching Adventure Time🤠🤠
buttttttt I finally tidied my room whilst watching this video and it felt HELLA good to imagine that I’m not alone through it, thanks lovely Garrett 🫶(hoorah!!!)
This inspires me to clean up my mess, too. My problem is emotional contamination ocd so I get stuck because of anxiety and memories rather than distraction, but seeing you tackle your space makes me wanna do it too!
PROUD OF YOU!
Everytime the floor is clean is when I feel best. I know I can breathe better when the ground is clear! I love to be able to see my fun collectables and plants so I TRY to keep my environment tidy, but it always gets undone.
I try to use Sunday as my day to put things away. It helps to have that "routine"
Garrett you are so inspiring! I need to organize DESPERATELY so thanks for giving me motivation king!! 🥹🫶🏻
Omg Garrett YESSSS you should totally become a voice actor!!! That would be so perfect for you ❤ also I have ADHD so this was basically just like watching myself for 30 minutes straight 😂
Garrett, I'm right there with you. My laundry is atrocious and this helps me feel less alone with my laundry piling up. Thank you for being vulnerable about this stuff. It's not easy, but it's so nice to be able to know you're not alone in these kinds of battles.
hi garrett! i just moved into my first apartment at beginning of april and i still have several boxes to unpack and stuff to organize that i’ve been putting off, but it helps to know we aren’t alone in our cleaning and organizing struggles!! :)
This was a very relatable video for us with ADHD, everything you did made me think “this man makes sense.”
Also “I want to start journaling” Famous Last ADHD words
I used to have a junk cupboard. Then it became a junk drawer. Now, my "tat" collection is used as art piece type things on my bookcase. On display, makes me feel good.
Your first video made me feel so seen about keeping little, but many, things and I felt inspired to get my room together too. Maybe this one is a sign to do it again 🙏💕
i'm a student with adhd and i'm working part-time so my room is a state constantly -- especially since i have a persistent and never ending need to buy MOOREEE clothes. i just watched this while tidying my room and it was like we were discovering random shit together which was awesome so cheers for helping me tidy my room. it definitely still needs to be hoovered and dont even ask me about my washing pile. love u long time garrett!
Watching you live life is just so validating thank you so much for being here with us!! I struggle so bad with clothes and laundry (actually washing it) it just takes too long and I feel like I can’t wait do anything till it’s done because I’m scared the clothes in the washer will sit too long and smell ( I have done this on many occasions. Days in the washer). And forget me being functional if I don’t take my meds.
Just make sure to unload the washer before the end of the day and it should be fine ❤ they don't smell after just a few hours.
I instated a rule for myself that the washer must be unloaded at any time as long as it's before bedtime. That's simple enough that it seems to work for me.
