    Subjecting yourself to anxiety/panic triggers to alleviate someone else’s anxiety/panic is moose-sized heroism.

    Ok, long comment but I wanna share it:
    My mum and I currently live together because I'm severely disabled and she's just left her partner of 12 years. She's been cackling about me watching cleaning videos because I have such poor executive function that I don't eat if no one tells me to, much less do the dishes. (She on the other hand has ADHD and does everything, so much, all the time. It's great.)
    We went up to her ex's house yesterday to start packing up her stuff so a moving company can come get it. Once there, we found that he (the partner) had taken ALL OF HER THINGS and put them in the garage. In no particular order. In a jumble that pretty much resembled a hoarder pile. She looked at it and said "I can't do this," and I said, "YES WE CAN. I have watched enough MMC to tell you, we absolutely can. We have lots of time. We're going to the shops, we're getting snacks and bags and boxes, and we'll do one thing at a time."
    And then I applied every single piece of advice I've picked up from this channel, and we fucking did it. It took us a solid 5 hours, but her things are organised and packed. I can't move a muscle today, but it was so worth it. And we couldn't have done it without you putting this content out on the internet. So, thank you. You make a difference, all over the world.
    (And when I started this video just now she shouted, "Is that The Cleaning Man?". I've pavloved her to your voice.)

      That and for some autistic folks, the dog senses this and treats us accordingly. I take care of two myself, when it's time, they come my way to visit. I do best in my own home with my stuff. It's not so bad now that I have a modernish laptop with WiFi, but still, better here at home where the dog can relax around me.
      One is a little miniature Australian Shepard that I've known since he was a pup and we just glommed onto each other early on, so whenever I'm at their house, he seeks me out, always. The other is a black Lab and she adores me and checks in on me periodically (both do) and I love it.

Every month or so I put one of your videos on my phone and push myself to face my anxiety and clean my whole apartment and gut it until it looks brand new. Definitely looking into therapy because my father and grandfather were massive hoarders. My father had a whole house hoarded with car parts and several cars on the lawn on top of his current one. So I’m just thankful for your channel because I’m working on this now while my mind is still changeable. Apartment has been disinfected with bleach and spotless today thankfully, I use your methods. :)

    Mack, in addition to all of your other talents, you are an incredibly gifted communicator. My 3 children have ADHD and panic attacks. One daughter was recently diagnosed (at 31) with autism. Your thoughtful explanations have helped me understand why they had such a hard time organizing or cleaning - and your description of your feelings and actions at the end of the video are EXACTLY how my daughter acts when experiencing overwhelm and panic. I regret not knowing the signs when they were younger, but I am grateful that awareness is being raised on these disorders. This knowledge explains why my ex-husband had such a difficult time coping with life no matter what therapies were used. Not once did anyone suspect that he was autistic, had PTSD or ADHD because he had a genius IQ. It breaks my heart that he has suffered for 76 years. Thank you so much and God bless you!

    This type of cleaning is life altering. Part of the reason I could never hire a cleaner is because I know that they would throw things away I wanted kept and put things in the wrong spot. Many cleaners would not put in the additional hours of time and effort that you did to make sure a dysregulated mind felt comfortable and secure in their new home.

      That’s usually our corgi too. She’s shedding her undercoat, so even though I brush her every other day, she’s still floofing everywhere, so I have to keep sweeping up, and she keeps walking through the piles. I can’t vacuum or confine her to a room or put her out and close the dog door because she’s a rescue and was abandoned and starved in a cave and raised without human contact. The vacuum terrifies her, being closed in a room stresses her out so she begins her crazy crate spin, even though she’s not in a crate. And being outside makes her feel cut off and also scares her. So she just floofs her way through her pile of floof, and I just keep sweeping up after her.

    For those who don’t “understand” needing to look through everything, it’s an act of honor/respect and the person exerting their autonomy.
    It is a need.
    When you “do it for them” you take that away from them.

    I inherited my mom’s hoard in 2020. I went through everything myself….Organized into junk, donate, then sell categories. Kept a few special things. Took a couple weeks working 16 hour days getting through it all. Very tough situation to be in, especially alone. I always promise my daughter I won’t leave her in that situation. You do amazing work!

      I am going through my mothers 4500 sq ft house now. Having to lay your hand to every item and making a decision about the the item is tiring mentally and physically. I am some what resentful about the situation I am in. When my grandmother died 50 years ago my mother complained about the amount of “ stuff” that was in her very large house. My mother had 3 brothers, their wives and me to help clear out the house which did not have close to the amount of stuff this house does. It is the height of unkindness to do this to your children.

    • @celineviixi
      @celineviixi 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      @@Dit1160 I’m sorry you’re going through that. I couldn’t imagine such a huge house and knowing every part of that home is packed. It certainly makes the grieving process hard. I understand feeling the resentment. I was only 25 at the time, but the chest pains I had were terrible from the stress. Try to be easy on yourself, but I know that’s so hard especially when it has to get done. Hoping for the best for you and peace when all this is over.

    If there's anyone out there wanting to start helping folk like this, I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy in Southeast Minnesota and I have someone in desperate need of organization help who is wheelchair bound and blind and gave me permission to reach out. I've been a member here for several months and love this community, and it breaks my heart to see how desperate the circumstances are for my patient who cannot find her belongings. The place isn't even that bad, it's more that there's no designated place for each item and it leads to her being unable to find things because she's blind. I'm hoping that if anyone can help her with the initial clean and organization, I can follow up with my coworkers to make sure things stay that way.

    I left an abusive relationship some 25 years ago and haven't thought about specific details of that event in ages. But your description of the sink water smell brought it all back. I had taken my son and left with the bare minimum while my ex was later evicted from the residence. The landlord was gracious enough to let me back to claim any belongings I wanted. The house was a a filthy disaster, which I could look past. But the ex had left a full sink of dishes in dishwater. The smell was intense, enough to make me want to vomit and the landlord run from the room.
    I wanted to walk away but I also have the type of neurodivergence that said something I want is in that water and unless I pull the plug, I won't find it, and I will obsess over it. (Probably a metaphor for the end of the relationship there). One of my grandmother's good china pieces was at the bottom of the sink, covered in slime, but at least not broken.
    Thank you for your explanation of micro and macro. ( 5:50 - I'm micro and would have wanted to find the recycle bin for the paper towel insert. I get you don't have time to do that here so it's no shade.) I started a new job a few months ago with a manager who is so big picture to my tiny details that for the first two weeks we couldn't have a conversation that even made sense. She finally just yelled over the phone "Stop overthinking." To which I yelled back "Start looking at the details." (We have a pretty good albeit unusual relationship.) We both stopped, took a breath and realized we needed to meet somewhere in the middle. It's been a slog but we've both come to appreciate the other's way of looking at the work.

    I'm from Missouri. I survived a near fatal mauling in which my left foot was completely dismembered and my right foot survived but severely nerve damaged. I nearly bled out and had many bodily wounds. I was 54. I'm now 63. It happened 11/16/2015 in Independence Missouri. It was a 110 pound Bulldog my now ex had rehomed. It took me a couple of years to get where I could walk without a cane. I appreciate your compassion for this woman. I had to take care of my then 95 year old parents with sundowners. I know the mental and physical agony. But I hope she will use fortitude to not live in fear.

    Super appreciate how candid you are about your feelings and how your autism affects you. It's nice to see dudes do that. It's refreshing to see someone with such clarity towards their own and other's mental health. Also a huge fan of how you started stacking other hats on top of your head as you were cleaning around 27:23, made me chuckle!

      Jesus is coming. On April 9, 2021, my vision went black for a quick moment, I saw in gold letters - Thus saith the Lord. Four hours later? On April 10, in my sleep I heard - Prophet. Tell them I am coming soon. Maybe 3-5 min after that, at 1235 AM, our area had a 3.1 eq.

    Wow!! This sounds like my story. My mom passing away not long ago, inheriting a mess and clutter that thieves and vandals ruined, I have all the same mental health issues as her, except for the autism. I also work as a delivery driver and dogs definitely scare me terribly. I recently had a baby and also made a move into my late mothers home. I’ve also lost a lot including much of my family and my husband..
    You’re wonderful for helping her out! Hopefully, it marks the beginning of change and happiness 😊
