IM / Support
How did you go about finding somemone to IM for organizing support? I am new to this forum but not new to disorganization and clutter.

I have lots of friends but none that are good for helping with my ever-present messes. One thing that has helped is finding someone who needs to clean up as much as I do, and who can do it at the same time I can (or vice versa). So much of my problem these days is not not knowing how to do it, or any of the other things that used to hold me back. Now it's that I have built up such a defeatist and lonely attitude toward the most serious things that need clearing and cleaning. It's the attitude. So when I can I set a time with someone and we each play music and work wherever we are in the world, but we IM back and forth. You have to find someone who has your same level of commitment to either clearing or talking, whatever that is and whichever you are most committed to. Otherwise you get frustrated by the talker if you're cleaning, or the cleaner who won't talk to you when you're freaking out.
However, it can work great for people on the same wavelength. You can even make a date with 3 or 4 people, so nobody carries all the burden of keeping the hour or day on track.
It makes all the difference in the world not to be alone. After all, we're not bad, or lazy, or evil, or crazy, or whatever we've been labeled in the past. We just are gifted in some areas and not in others, like everybody else in the world.
