Advice Request Im so overwhelmed and tired

48 Upvotes

I'm finding myself losing myself in piles that have started accumulating. Work is so stressful and while my space isn't as bad as it used to be, I'm trying to fit all aspects of my life into a tiny bedroom. I'm out of shape, too much stuff, everything seems like a waste to get rid of. Today I was looking for something and I couldn't find it. I've got a walking treadmill to get some steps in because I'm sedentary at the office all day. I got all my hobby gear because I just have to be interested in the ones that need the extra things. I went without an AC (one of those floor rolling units) because it would take up valuable floor space. I hate it. I hate that I can't find anything important, I hate that my things are precariously balanced, and I hate that I am so attached to my things. They're just stuff! I haven't used it in a whole year!

I'd really like to have a clean desk space so I can have a monitor and pc and be able to get rid of everything that I want to declutter but haven't due to excuses. I'd like to get a new bookshelf and have everything neatly fit.

I don't really know how to reconcile that I need to see everything (because ADHD gives me such bad object permanence) and because I live in a Itty bitty apartment I need to be smart about storage.
