    Getting a good night sleep is the key for me. I have chronic pain syndrome, and don’t take pain medication, depression and some anxiety. I absolutely have to work in my garden several hours a week. Go to yoga classes twice a week and art journal/ meditation practice almost every day. Over the last several years I’ve decluttered a lot. Makes it easier to clean and when it’s not clean it still looks better than when I had more stuff. Have let go of a lot of collections and nick knacks. I enjoyed to your video style and just subscribed.

    You know a lot of us hide behind what goes on behind closed doors making everything seem perfect. We look at your chaos and judge knowing that our situations are on par with yours if not worse. The only difference is we don’t show ours. Take your time and clear your space. You know what needs to be done. A little chaos never hurt anyone. I applaud your insight and your bravery. Keep it up. You have a cheering section even if you don’t see us!

      I need a schedule but I am a free spirit and the idea of my day being spelled out makes me feel trapped. I guess I need a happy medium.

      I'm not there yet... I decided that I'm doing the best I can every day, but I'm barely seeing the progress. What did make a huge difference was that I stopped buying anything unless I really needed to replace something. And slowly, emphasizing slowly, I'm declutterring things around the house. Having fewer things meant that I had fewer decisions to make about where those things would live. I'm still using up products and things that I already have.

    I think a dishwasher is such a huge help to keeping on top of having clean dishes daily. I have lived with and without a dishwasher and it saves so much time. Washing by hand is fine if you do it after every meal but it can pile up so fast. Keeping on top of kitchen, clothes washed and keeping the toilet and bathroom wiped down daily is so helpful for your house to stay manageable and the house functioning.

    Absolutely beautiful video Jenn!! I love the commentary! Never ever think you failed!! You ROCK my friend. You are hangin tough even thru the hard stuff. Its not wrong to give yourself a break. The whole pork loins are what we buy and we grind them for burger. I pick them up when they are under 2.00 a pound. I always use vinegar instead of fabric softener. It helps the guts of the washer stay clean. I also leave the washer open to dry. Between the 2, I dont have a stinky drum. Front loaders are notorious for getting stinky. I always smile when you mention me in a video. I feel like I am famous by association. 😂💜👍💜

      The break was needed. Though looking back some of the crafting could have been filmed even if they were not popular videos.
      I need to get the grinding attachment for my KitchenAid.
      I still love all my laundry potions but the vinegar does do a nice job. It leaves the towels so much softer.
      I do leave my washer door open here and there. But because of my constant laundry I have never had any issues with smell.
      I also run it through a clean cycle as it asks for it. That helps too.
      Beth if I ever get famous I'll be sure to include you my friend haha.
      Much love to you friend. 😘

    If I feel overwhelmed I start somewhere else (for example: if I normally start in the kitchen, I'll start in the bedroom) in front of my husband, which in turn gets him up and doing things too. And before you know it we've gotten some off the wall stuff done besides the normal day to day.

    I dont understand how people that live in the same household as the mother feel that she is the only one who can prepare meals, laundry, housework, grocery shop, take care of family budget, and any one that is ill or just dosent feel good, and keep everyone elses schuedle straight ,can just set on there butts and still live with themselves. Its that way at my house too!!

    • @lovemrs.g
      @lovemrs.g  5 днів тому

      I do not understand it either. Because I see it a lot. Yes, sometimes even in my own home. Then there are times that I am simply not helping myself. 💗😊
      I can say this.
      My adult son who does live here does all my yard work. Goes to the store any time it is needed. Helps with cooking. Helps with pets. Helps with any thing I need and 99% of the time without me asking. Like in the video of my kitchen makeover he could not wait to jump in and help even though it meant he would be filmed. I hate the kitchen lights I put in and he has told me when I find some I like he will replace them again. He is a complete sweetheart.
      Bella, does help with her Pop Pop who is disabled. Going to the store with him because he requires assistance. Running to get him things in the house and so forth. She also love to help cook. Now cleaning her room....That just a normal kid/parent struggle. She helps me with the garden, and cleaning around the house. She loves to be on video but I limit this as I do not want her constantly on screen.
      My husband used to work long hours. He enabled me to be a stay at home mother for many, many years.
      He makes calls for me for appointments that need to be set up. He handles bills, and will go with one of the kids to pick up my Walmart food pick up any time I need him to. I have to say I was a little saddened because in a video I did it showed me cleaning my office (It was late and I needed to get a video done) It also showed Greg sitting on the couch and someone referred to use as "two lazy people" . Criticize me and that's what ever but my disabled husband that is terribly sad. He only wishes he could help.
      I will say when I am depressed it is hard for me to see the help I do get , plus adding 2 more people into my household (They are gone now) Is stressful to me and messes with the eb and flow I have created. It just throws me off and into a weird spiral. Constant company can do that too but that does it to everyone here.
      I also want to add that everyone sees a very tiny fraction of my days. This video happened after a build up of extended house guests. Months.... I realize that for me it is something I can no longer do.
      We are far from a perfect family. We are bit bit country, a bit rough around the edges and we all as humans have a ton to learn. 😊

    Just came across your Channel tonight. Thank you for sharing your life and struggles I struggle with depression as well and every day very difficult to get out of bed. If it wasn't for my cats I would most likely be leading a very different life. Probably wouldn't have a job homeless. They give me reason for getting up every day but still a struggle. I have to say what helps me a little bit is having a daily to-do list. Getting an item or to getting crossed off gives me motivation to keep going. I can get some stuff done and then I don't get back to it for a day a week or more and then it goes back to what it was and very hard to start over with everything. I want to say thank you for showing your little dishwasher you have on the countertop. I have a very small kitchen and was considering getting one of those but seeing how little you can actually get in there it's just quicker to do them by hand. So thank you for that. I can save my money for something else. Have a good weekend thanks again for sharing.

Thorough blood tests can reveal whats going on, i lay on floor with a 1.5 L water bottle under my neck, stretches and puts neck curve back in proper place. Watch amount of soda consumption that sugar will depress you! Collecting just adds to the piles and clutter so no more collecting anything for me as you get more need more space then too much of anything depresses me. Great video! I started to watch a couple diff other channels but stopped them, yours i just found and can watch & relate. Getting outside first thing of morning helps: soak up that first morning sun, get out walk. Sitting inside all day sitting to craft does you no good, take craft outside if you can weather temp permitting too. 😊❤

Right now I am sitting in the hospital with complications from surgery last Friday. I am just going to work on getting the office together so I can get back to what I enjoy

    Oh Jenn, I am going through a lot myself. I've had my depression medicine doubled about a month ago and it just takes the edge off like you were saying. The music you chose was beautiful, I really enjoyed those two songs. I'm gonna be real, I've been in this funk for most of my life, but the past couple of years in just increased and increased until I felt like I was falling into a million pieces. That's when I finally went to my Dr. and she doubled my meds. The first thing she asked if was I a danger to myself or others! Do you think that is a normal question to ask? It scared me though, I'll tell you that. I think you walking with the dog is good, it gets you out of the house and your in your own thoughts instead of everyone needing something from you. You have your plate full with just your husband and then taking care of Bella. Extended family stays are not good for anyone and can definitely trigger your depression more, especially if your not getting any help, just adding more work on yourself. Try to be outside as much as you can, that helps. Here in Texas though that's getting shorter and shorter because its heating up fast. We've already had several days of 90 degree weather. I have no friends and now one to talk to. The closet place to go to shop or anything is 45 minutes and I don't like the drive. There is nothing between except ranches and farms and I'm terrified of that drive. All to say I'm glad your back and please don't give up. You Tube seems to help you. I could never do what you do, I'm to shy and my anxiety wouldn't allow me to put myself out there.❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋

    • @lovemrs.g
      @lovemrs.g  2 місяці тому +1

      That question is pretty normal yes. Hard to hear, but an important one.
      I am glad you spoke up and asked for help. I did that a couple years ago. I asked that mine would be doubled. I don't think my dosage is currently wrong, I think a lot of stuff just quickly went in a crappy direction for me and it was a bit to much for any one person. When I am depressed the house suffers. first and it creates a snowball effect in my mood.
      Walking Lulu has become a night and morning ritual. She is a barker, and if I give her a nice walk, she settles down well. She needs the walking as do I.
      I can not do any more extended family stays. It is too much on me. I have to accept that as will they.
      I have my kids some that live close (One son lives across the street behind me with his wife and baby) another down around the corner with his wife and two other sons live about 8 miles away in either direction.
      I don't have any friends that I have met. Online friends now that is something else haha.
      I am not much for giving up. I know I started this for many reasons one of the biggest being to touch other people's lives.
      You have a friend. We are all a big community here, and you are certainly a big part of it. 🤗💗 I'm your friend. I always look forward to what you have to say.

It’s been rough my husband goes to work I’m cleaning with one extra person and a dog in the house and 99 or 10 years ago I had a really bad stroke so I have to do things in my own time I totally get where you’re coming from I feel depressed a lot of times I can’t motivate myself I needed this video today for sure.

I was baby sitting, doing chores for a home with six people in it. I am my husband's caretaker. I have three dogs and three cats. A 9 year old that is homeschooled and needs my attention as well.

    Hello there, new subscriber here. I just want to first start off and tell you that you have a wonderful speaking voice. You have a gift and I’m sure you have many others. But you speak so eloquently and you gave such a good message. I’ve been struggling with depression for a long time too, it’s crazy how it affects different people in different ways but it’s all classified as depression. Whether our whole house is messed up or we have one corner or a closet, that’s totally hoarding, it is what it is. Thank you for the message and with every day there is new hope♥️

    • @lovemrs.g
      @lovemrs.g  2 місяці тому

      Your comment is shocking to me. I have always hated my voice that is deep and comes with a lisp. It was part of the reason I fought with myself on wanting to start this UA-cam Journey.
      Depression runs in my family on my mothers side. I am far better at hiding it than most unless I admit to it or you know me super well. It does show up differently in people. My mother became very codependent on me as a child. I was always her voice of reason. Her mother worked many hours and when she was home she was nasty towards her children and husband. No one realized it was depression that was simply swept under the rug.
      When I am depressed it is inward. I'll be smiling but inside...not so much. My meds help me so very much and these times are less and less unless life becomes turmoil that I can not instantly fix...I'm a fixer LOL
      You are very right though with every new day there is reborn hope, faith and joy to be found.

    I’ve never felt the need to do everything for the household. I believe in delegating chores. It is responsible to keep everyone in the house accountable for their items and their mess. My husband and I share the cooking duties. I do most of the cleaning. My only child left at home does her own laundry since the age of 8 and cleans her bedroom and bathroom. She’s 12 now and doesn’t need help with any chores. We downsized and are now minimalists and enjoy roadtrips and travel. Have fun life is short materialistic items won’t make you happy so let them go and ask for help.

I mean I need to watch your video to hear the full story. Like I've said been there so I understand but if I had a partner and saw this I would def pitch in pull my weight and carry their weight for awhile. I mean if you can't ask your partner for help what's the point? Sorry just an opinion, when I went through this I was wanting a partner to help me. I got it done by myself. It was hard but I did it room by room lists helped me seeing things checked off that list made me feel like I was making progress. I hope you are feeling better.

      When he was well he always did things around the house.
      He still does what he can to help but he is very limited.
