Depression and Endangerment

I'm very down at present. I can barely move around my home at the current time. Every step is dangerous as things lie on top of each other and slip and slide as I stand on them. I keep making 'pathways', but they clog up with crap almost as fast as I make them.

One good thing recently though is that I cleaned both my cooker hob and my sink. Now if I can only clear a worktop as well I might actually be safe to cook something. To that end, I've bought fresh ingredients twice now, but still haven't made the planned meal. The lights in my kitchen are dead and I can't get a ladder into the room to fix them safely, so that is another reason it's a treacherous room right now.

Bin bags

I currently have 14 bin bags sat on my drive. I'm waiting for a friend to come and take them to the tip for me. Inside my home are three more bags. I haven't put themn out yet. MJy neighbour was complaining about the bags I've already put out.

Things are really bad in my home at present. I am knee-deep in flotsam and jetsam and can barely get through my front door. Walking is difficult and dangerous, as is attempting to climb the stairs or to cook.

I'm pretty low today about everything.
