I recommend having someone help you or being in the same room!! My room is usually clean, but after a lot going on it got super messy. I asked a close friend to sit in the room while I cleaned. Something about having his presence there made me comfortable. He didn't help me clean (although he offered!) He just talked to me while I organized. It never hurts to ask for help!
That sounds like a really good idea thank you for suggesting it but I’m way too embarrassed for anyone to see it, they would definitely judge me.
What if you were on a voice call with someone? They wouldn't be able to see your room but you still get the basic presence of someone? Also there are people who love you and want to see you be better. They will understand your struggles and want to help in any way they can. If they decide to judge you based on your struggles than that isn't a you problem, it's a them problem
Chunk by chunk. Start somewhere...even if just one paper. Try to have self compassion because sometimes it is a battle and having a unclean room doesn’t make you dirty or less human!
