Hello and welcome to
recommendation number three in Blogmas 2020 with I’m NOT Disordered!
Today, the post is going to
look a bit different… I wanted to talk a bit about organization and recommend
some skills to help you to keep your affairs in order, but I thought what
better to help than to create checklists and worksheets for you to actually use
in your own life?!
I
really struggle with my mental health when my environment and life in general
are a mess! And sometimes my home (mainly my bedroom) doesn’t look tidy but actually,
I know where everything is and it all has its own place. I think that a huge
reason for me struggling with this is that – without my medication – I experience
hallucinations…
When
my mental health was at its absolute worst, I was experiencing four auditory
hallucinations and seeing numerous ‘rabbits’ as a visual hallucination. And
having so many ‘things’ in my life – things that weren’t even real(!) – just
made everything feel cluttered and messy. For a long time, I felt that I had no
control over the hallucinations because I didn’t think that they were a product
of my own mind…
