After an emotional scene my dad finally got me (with his help) to clean my insane nest. I am so excited to have a normal, nice bedroom soon! I had it done myself years ago but never went 100%. Then slowly it got bad again and one day I looked up and it was worse than ever.

Next I sort more items and wash the walls and floor to get ready to paint next weekend. Then I get new flooring, a new rug, and new furniture. I can't wait to have a place to put all my fandom merch and funkos. Gonna get a stuffed animal hammock like I always wanted to.

My dad won't let me not do this so by Friday it will be ready to paint. I am staying in the guest room rn which is very handy as it'd be hard to do all this trying to live in it. I keep worrying I'm dreaming and am gonna wake up. 😭

You ever cry tears of joy bc it is possible for life to get better.

I have never seen something so disgusting in my life. Knee high trash, maggots living in the carpet. Plates and dishes literally stuck to the table and shelves. The smell is unbelievable. I feel bad for when they decide to move. They are definitely not getting that deposit back.

Was originally posted in r/TVTooHigh, but a few people suggested that this subreddit was more appropriate.

He has already been warned and the room is already cleaned up, I'll post again after getting his permission.

I am just too stressed to keep cleaning. I am simply just going to ignore it all, as I'll literally have a heart attack if I keep trying to clean. Also, I just cannot afford to get rid of much because a lot of my items are actually worth lots of money. I finally gave up in my life, as there is no point in trying anymore.

Today I decided to go into itch.io to browse some random browser games I could play on my mobile phone, because I dont own a computer. To much surprise, instead of seeing a wide array of different themes and genres, I was greeted by THE most abhorrent and degenerate anime and waifu related games. That was the vast majority. I remember a time when you could browse the internet looking for a fun game to play snd you didnt have to dodge games made for reality-diaconnected weirdos 'expressing themselves' by means of literal pornography. Is modern indie gaming dying?

It's like mission impossible, it just does not compute, does not go, does not make any sense or structure - the room stays mess with stupid cables, gear, clothes and equipment and all kinds of gadgets - I'm out of hopes, copes and dopes!

It's a comedy at this point, I'm laughing and crying at the same time!

And I work in catering - I am good at what I do, proactive and diligent, attentive to details, managers are happy with me - but at home I'm a hippie sloth, stuff just stays where it's left.

Omg, lol rofl so on and so on...!

Sorry for the crappy quality and video splicing. I had to remove a person's face. This is just a snippet of his nest. I havent talked to him in almost 10 years. I hope this is no longer his way of living.

Cannot even fucking begin to describe how relieved I am and how much better I feel. I posted in this sub years ago, I got some amount done then, it got bad again, and I proceeded to move for college. Before I moved back home I knew I needed this done. So blessed to have been able to hire professionals to help me. It's been... 5 years since my room has been even close to this clean. Shoutout to the ten trash bags of shit lol, and the mountains of donations. So glad to be fucking rid of the moldy drinks and the centipedes and the dirt and debris and my old clothing and shit from my childhood and the candles I never should've bought and the years and years of depression and misery that has permeated this godforsaken room. I can finally fucking breathe again.

They’ve been wanting to come see my animals for a while, but I keep saying I have to clean it. I live in an unfinished basement, so it was never gonna look nice anyways, but any thoughts to make it presentable/not completely embarrassing to show them around?

I have other wonders to show you, like the pile of half disassembled electronics, the ant colony, and the sokoban puzzle of random shit I have to move to get into my closet

Bonus Pic is of the razor I've used for 8 years without changing. Yes, it looks that good still. Gillette is a good brand i guess
